The shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.

I got these for my brother who wears AFOs but they’re too tight in the toe. I’m not sure if going up a side will help. He probably just needs a wider fit.

they did fit as expected and uppers is real leather.

Love these shoes. Look great. Very comfortable. Might not be so good if you have narrow feet.

Well made, fit as expected! I'm very happy with the purchase.
Reviewer Kocha
Same as last time I tried a pair of converse. Really tight, though they're getting more comfortable as time goes on.
They really are just a very reliable pair of shoes.

I normally only wear 574's from New Balance, but I purchased these because they share the same shoe last and they're similar. I can't say that I like them as well, but they're alright.
I believe the mid-soles are different, and while I think I like the 574 mid-sole better, the 565 doesn't seem bad. One thing I definitely don't like as well is the lack of mesh in the all-suede upper. They probably don't breath as well, but that's not a huge factor for me in a suede shoe. I just like the looks of the mesh/suede combo better then the all-suede shoe.
I saved my final criticism for last, because it applies to both the 565 and 574 models of "Lifestyle and Retro" shoes. These are the ones with model numbers that start with "ml". I don't like them because they appear to be the hipster version of New Balance shoes, with laces that usually match the suede. Like any good hipster shoe, they seem to be more narrow, which is antithetical to the very thing that made the 574, and probably 565, popular shoes in the first place (i.e. spacious.) Even though these are supposedly made on the same shoe last as other models in the line, they definitely don't have the advertised toe depth of the SL-2 shoe last. I've also noticed that many New Balance shoes made on the SL-2 last don't seem to be as wide as they used to be, so that issue probably isn't for the lifestyle and retro shoes alone.
Seems strange that New Balance would ruin a popular line of shoes by changing the very things that made them popular, but that's what they seem to be doing. For customers that want a more narrow 574, it seems like New Balance would just suggest the 363 or one of their models made on narrow shoe lasts. Regardless, I wish they'd leave the SL-2 shoes alone, so that customer who appreciate them can continue to do so. I've worn them for 20 years and the only thing that will stop that is if New Balance changes the shoes so much that they're not the same.

I'm a fan of Saucony shoes and having been wearing them for over a decade. I especially like their classics for their styling. I had an earlier version of this Bullet with a gray sole that I liked, but I love the new red sole even more.
The Bullets run small. For most shoes, I usually wear a size 10. For most Sauconys, it's 10.5. For Bullets, it's 11. They're also slender and not a good choice for wide feet. They're very flexible, but they're durable. The sole seems thin, but they're very comfy. After wearing this style, I'm having a hard time going back to the Jazz Low Pros, or any of the other styles - they seem really bulky.

This is my husband’s second pair. He’s on his feet teaching and these help his pad his feet.
