Reviewer Mousy26

I haven’t worn these much yet, but seem comfortable, the right size and good cushioning. Time will tell.

Reviewer Sweet ADeline

I like these sneakers

Reviewer Leonard Greene

Very comfortable and nice looking shoes. Laces are good and don't come undone without tying a double bow. Soft leather uppers.

Reviewer Carol A Johnston

It fit as expected. I had to buy a size up from what I usually wear but it’s a good thing I did. Plus it’s really cute.

These shoes have always been so flat footed. I put Dr Scholls gel inserts with a little extra arch in them. Works great! Makes them a perfect little summer shoe to run around in.

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.

Have disappointing durability

My hubby wore the Vibram 5 toe shoes for years but I didn't like the fact of no support so switched to the Skeletoes. Keep in mind all you switchovers that these are 4 toes; the last two fit together. But hubby really likes them, the price is way better than Vibram and he wears them all day and his back no longer hurts. He still wears the Vibrams for scuba-diving....me too. I did buy him a pair of the cushioned sole Vibrams but he didn't like the lace up style and didn't have velcro version (still don't know if they do). But these Skeletoes are amazing for him and I'm glad he's finally getting the support he needs as he's on his feet all day long. Great product and great price.
