Fit as expected and perfect red.

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 13yr-old son purchased these with his birthday money. We looked at the "known" brand, and these were about half the price, and with better reviews! He has not been disappointed at all. We did order a half size larger, based on the comments/feedback, and they fit great.

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!

These sneakers are super fun!!!
Very bright colors, very unique.
They fit true to size.
They are a little, but little, heavy. But because they are sturdy and well made. They don’t look chunky, but they have more “body”.
They are not super padded, they are comfortables, but definitely not Disney walking shoes. They are pretty similar to my Metcons.
But, for casual wear, these are VERY nice and fun!!!!
Recommended.

I ordered these Brothers United luxury lace up Colorada Classic fashion sneakers for my son. They're made with 100% leather, elevated rubber sole, gel heel insert, blunt arch support and padded foot bed. These fashion-forward shoes are designed in New York and made by artisans in Brazil. Brazil has always been known for their quality shoe manufacturing. Good quality shoes and with proper care should last for many years to come.

Good supportive athletic shoe for the moderate price. My husband has been wearing these for about 5 years now, multiple pairs!

The People Footwear Ace Sneakers fit true to size. The sizing is unisex. I have a women’s size 10, men’s size 8. They fit a woman’s size 10 foot, and are easy to slide on and off. They really are a combination of a sneaker and a slide.
They can be worn with or without socks. The holes on the top and sides that make up the design are open. So if you wear these in wet conditions, your feet will get wet.
I think they are cute, especially if you like this style of shoes. They’re like Crocs but look a bit nicer. The grey main color and red accents look good on men or women.
The shoes have some arch support and good soles. I wouldn’t wear them for a hike, but they would be good for running errands in the summer, walking around the park or mall or beach, that sort of thing. The shoes are really easy to clean, I throw this type of shoes in the washer when they get dirty.
