Okay, these are (or appear to be) all cloth, even the soles. Mine are pretty tight fitting but I’ve bought other slip on type shoes that seem to fit just right and after wearing them for a bit then there too loose, so I’m hoping that after I wear these, they loosen up a bit and for just right.
What I DO like is they are light weight and due to the cloth soles, my feet breathe much better than wearing rubber or plastic soles slippers.

Very comfortable! I still have to use my SuperFeet inserts, but I'm quite satisfied with my shoes.

I am a huge Chuck fan - BUT I have flat feet, and can wear them comfortably. My husband and daughter cannot. I feel like most people that wear Chucks do so because they want to make a "fashion statement" at the cost of their feet... I just need them for my flat feet - and thus every 10-12 months I order a pair of Black Chuck Taylors, works for me!

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 soles are great for all terrains. The memory foam helps to keep my feet from hurting after a long walk. I'm very pleased!

Really great shoes. My husband just loved them and they are soo comfortable. He was very satisfied. They look great on him and the comfort and the light shoe make this a great purchase.

Best all around shoes for summer. Light weight, vented, and non slip like Topsiders. My new everyday shoe for summer

While these sneakers fit well in length they were a little narrow. Hopefully they will stretch out a little with time. Comfortable to walk in and cushiony feel. Easy to slip on. Very well made sneaker. The arch support is minimal though.
