The girls flip flops don't have enough sole for me especially with me having a wide foot. So I made an estimate about what size I needed and they fit perfect. I also like the better color options
Reviewer Alex Foster
The most comfortable Brand of casual shoes I've ever worn. Can easily be worn with or without socks, look good in formal and casual situations. They last a long time, each pair I've had were well traveled and worn for 3-4 years before showing signs of wear and tear.

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.

I always buy my shoes extra wide. I've bought many New Balance shoes in the 4E. These are marked and tagged 4E, however when I put them on, they are not as wide as any other wide shoe I've bought. I'm hoping that they'll break in a bit (likely) and I love the way they look. So I'll keep them.

these feel great, the fit and design are nice. im not sure these will last long because it looks like the rubbery zig zag design is just glued on. when i got the shoe, the area around the clear window underneath was already yellowing. the sole doesnt look or feel very substantial, i wouldnt use these for anything too heavy in the gym or for a lot of hard use.

My Husband was looking for a pair of shoes that didn't have laces. I suggested these shoes, as I have been buying this brand for about ten years and have always been satisfied. He keeps saying how much he likes these shoes. They are very comfortable and look good too. I highly recommend this product.

I am usually a sneaker 13, sometimes a 12 in boots. The 13 here fits me perfectly. My foot is wide, which is what pushes me up into a 13 sometimes. This is wider and more comfortable than it looks, much because it is soft enough to gently conform to my foot. No problems there or with the size at all.
The black looks good, and that means the rubber strip doesn't stand out so much on the bottom. I know that's there by design, but I don't usually like a big wall of rubber.
These are comfortable, easy, casual, The only odd thing is getting the lace ends through the holes at the top, but not a big deal at all. These look good, but certainly won't last forever - they become a deal when your size and color choice happens to be the low end of the price scale (which I think they keep around just to entice you to look in the first place).

Wow! I was completely blown away with these shoes! I was initially very skeptical of these shoes as they are unassuming in appearance and feel problematic with their design of the woolen fabric. If you have pets that shed in any kind of way, you will know exactly what I mean when you see the shoes. Incredibly, they did not attract everything under the sun to them and stayed clean! Absolutely impressive.
The biggest wow factor is how they feel on your feet! WOW! The comfort level on these is out of this world. They slide on and easily conform to your foot and give a great level of support at the same time. I have never, ever had shoes that were this comfortable - including the memory foam slippers you get every holiday season! I feel like these are shoes I could even sleep in if I chose to. They are sincerely that comfortable.
I would absolutely, 100% recommend these shoes to anyone out there looking for the perfect pair of shoes!

My husband loves these shoes. They are perfect for everyday wear, but they don't stand up real well. He gets anywhere from 6 months to a year of hard ranch wear out of them. He loves the memory foam insole.
