Nike Dunk Low 'Valerian Blue'

Reviewer Dan Benjoseph

Good walking shoes--could be a bit wider!

Reviewer KEN TELLS ALL

This shoe suited me well for 3 month with fairly use. I used this shoes 10 hours per week and it served me well. The rubber sole really helped me from slipping in the kitchen area with wet surface. Nothing has been torn yet. I'm expecting this shoe will last me for a good 8 months.

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.

Reviewer Daniel Vegue

Our grandson loves these for bike riding!

Reviewer John Pawlusiak

These are comfortable and they look great. I believe they have a stitched rubber cup sole, which are common on fashion sneakers and I love them for their comfort. The leather isn't anything to write home about, but it's comfortable and finished well.

I purchased these with a deep discount, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of them. At full price, however, there are better quality fashion sneakers, but finding them in all these colors may prove difficult.

I put down that they run a little large, because they do for athletic shoes, although they run as expected for dress shoe brands, like Cole Haan. So I ordered a half size down from my usual athletic shoe size (nike, et al) and they fit perfect. So choose your size based off your dress shoes, rather than your athletic sneakers, as you should always do when you're not ordering from an athletic shoe brand, unless you've been instructed otherwise.

Overall, I'm very pleased with these shoes and will consider paying more for another pair in the future, but only if they're on sale.

I ordered another pair and there doesn't seem to be any improvement with the tag. They came with 2 pairs of laces, in different colors, but one pair is very wide, unfortunately. I'm not a fan of super-wide laces, but they at least had the good sense to make the more narrow pair, the more difficult color to obtain. The super-wide pair is white, which can easily be replaced anywhere you can find laces.

I see many comments on the sizing being small, but I don't know that I agree. They may be just slightly narrow, but I wear the same size as I do with Nike athletic shoes. In contrast, I have to size up with New Balance shoes. Since dress shoes run larger then athletic shoes, they're obviously smaller then most dress shoes.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.

I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.

This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.

I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

The last pair of PUMA's I owned was about 30 years ago. At the time, they seemed cheap and I didn't like them.

Fast forward to today and I like the way PUMA's look. I've been wanting these for a while and found them on sale recently. I'm glad I did.

I haven't the slightest idea how well these will wear, but I strongly disagree with those who say that they're uncomfortable. Believe me when I say that, because I'm all about comfort and I know how hard it can be to find comfortable shoes, that are still affordable, today. They're not a running shoe with a squishy sole, but they're still one of the more comfortable pairs of shoes that I own. The sole has far more cushion than a pair of Adidas Sambas I own, which I find extremely uncomfortable.

Of course they look nice too, but I'll wrap this up by describing the fit. They probably do run slightly narrow and short, but I think some of the reviews exaggerate how much. They're bigger than many shoes I own, including my Sambas. In fact, I'm between sizes and have no problem with the smaller size. The arch support doesn't seem like much, but it's more than adequate, because they're so comfortable. The cushioned soles do their part in the comfort of the shoe, too.

Overall, I'm very happy with this shoe and will probably be buying more pairs in the future.

Over the years I've worn several styles of Sketchers while at work. Mostly the same basic type of shoe with a little different design and change of color/s. Overall these have been good, comfortable, shoes over the years. No complaints or issues.

Reviewer Lduke32

Not the most stylish of shoes, but they worked great for what we needed them for the Rose Bowl Parade and everything else they did out there, he didn't have them broke in either, because there was no time, we got them 2 days before he left for his trip and he didn't have any issues at all with his feet hurting them and he actually stated he likes them and would buy another pair. He is hard on shoes and they've held up for a few months now so yes these are good walking shoes.
