I love them, they fit like a glove. But be careful in the image they show a little brown, they are true black as in description

Bought these for my auto tech son, his third pair. On his feet up to 12 hours daily and found that these shoes are very comfortable. Work shoe and sneaker combined.
Reviewer KinCO
Fits better than any shoe i've had before, very comfortable and easy to slip on and off, but sturdy enough if you do a lot of walking.

Great shoes. Thank you Reddit male fashion advice.

These are very comfortable. Great to slip on and off. Not the best for a workout but better for casual wear. Good for the price.

My son loves the look.

Suede finish-colors are as photographed. Shoe is roomy. Great for casual wear. Unique and striking colors. 4 stars is because I didn't keep them.

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.

My husband loves these. I purchased a woman's pair and told him they were the most comfortable sneakers I'd ever tried. He decided to order and is very happy. They are comfortable and he can't say enough good things about the fit. He's been paying $123 for sneakers at a sport shop - these beat those sneakers hands down. We will purchase these again.
