I have 10+ pairs of Cole Haan shoes and they're all great, but these are the most comfortable out of all of them.

The quality of the shoe was very good; it was not right for me.

I'm a big fan of Skechers and these did not disappoint. I have bad feet, but the souls of Skechers forms to my feet, making them as comfortable as I can hope for. They're stylish and fit well. If there is any negative to Skechers, it is that they don't last as long as some other name brands, but that's any easy tradeoff for the comfort they provide.

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.

Quality footwear. Genuine soft leather upper. Bought at the sale price so was very good value for money.

My husband loves these shoes. They are well made and comfortable. However, the fit is about 1/2 size smaller than the chart suggests. They are also a narrow width for a "D". You might want to consider a "E" width.

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!
Reviewer Dar Scharping
These are TOO CUTE! I'm a 6.5 with a high arch, narrow heel, and super wide toe. These fit PERFECT! The style is more boxy and chunky. So if you're looking for a slim fitting sleek shoe, this is not it. I already know these shoes are going to get compliments!

Purchased wrong size but passed on to my brother who had never tried these before & he’s looking to buy more pairs in the future. I’ve been wearing ultra max sole by Skechers for the last year and they provide relief to my knees and my feet.

As of this review I don't know how much these shoes cost so I have to rate based on construction and comfort alone. I like to incorporate cost when I can but can't this time. These shoes are extremely light weight and seem to be very well constructed. I don't know how they will hold up when worn while running, but for basic comfort they feel good. They have a bit of a lower ridge in the inside where the toes go and I'm not sure if I like that yet or not. It does give my toes something to sort of grip. The laces allow me to tighten them up since I have a narrow foot. I like the colors and they have a nice, sleek look about them. They don't feel good when worn without socks because of some scratchiness so if you like go sockless you might not like these shoes. But when worn with socks they are very comfortable. I received a size 9 for review and they seem true to size. These seem to be true to size.
