I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

This review is based on trying them on once.
I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)
The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.
I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

Shoes look and feel great. I'm very happy with them, though I've already scuffed them up a bit from overuse - that should tell you how often I've been using them! I really enjoy these and I'm glad I got them for the summer. Looking forward to getting them clean and bright for much more use. Thank you very much!

I've bought several pairs of the Men's Jazz Low Pro and I really like this shoe. The classic Saucony sneakers are sharp looking, but in my opinion, they don't provide anywhere near the support the Jazz Low Pro offers. Shoe is perfectly snug and there are a ton of really good looking color combinations for this style offered by Saucony.

I've been wearing them almost daily, and have even taken them on a few easy trails. I'm very pleased with these shoes. They still fit very well, are very comfortable, and have been very durable for the price. They are starting to show a bit of wear, but it's not any more than my more-expensive name brand athletic shoes. I'd say these are actually outlasting a few pairs. After a winter and some spring rains, I've found that they don't have as good traction in wet conditions as some of my other shoes, but they're still acceptable in such weather. These are very good fair-weather shoes, good for casual wear, but are still decent shoes for quick jogs or very light hikes. For the money, I think these are great every-day-wear shoes, and they are holding up very well after six months.

I ordered these 206 Collective men's leather shoes for my son. He loves old school tennie's such as the Ked's we wore as kids. So glad they make them now for adults. The off-white leather and suede on these are wonderful! Gives the shoe a more dress-up look. And the insole wraps around the heel area which is very comfortable. I haven't given them to my son yet so I'm not sure how the fit will be on him. But these look and feel very well made. So hopefully I'll come back with an update once he tries these on. I hope he likes them..

The fit of these slip on sneakers is true to size. I got a pair in size 11, and my size 11 foot fits just fine. The fit is better with socks on but even without socks the sneaker has a decent fit (there's some lifting of the heel when not wearing socks but it's not excessive or troublesome).
They are surprisingly comfortable. There's padding that provides reasonable support. They are all plastic in construction which makes them perfect as a garden shoe since I can just hose them off when they get muddy. They are also great for around the house and running errands. I like that they are slip ons, which makes it quick and easy to put on/take off. However, these would not be my first choice for taking long walks -- I prefer lace up shoes for that to provide better support.
The only area that was somewhat disappointing is the sole. The manufacturer claims they are non-slip and that's true when walking on a rough surface, such as a sidewalk. Even in the rain these felt sure footed outside. However, on smooth surfaces, such as a wet tile floor, I didn't get that sure footed feeling. I didn't fall (at least not yet) but I have to be more mindful when walking compared with other shoes that have a softer, more grippy sole. The sole on these shoes is rather hard and unyielding. That's good for making the shoe last a long time without wearing out, but not so good for grip.
The sole drops my score to 4.5 stars but I'll round up to 5 since everything else about these sneakers hits the mark. They fit well and are comfortable, practical shoes. The styling is nothing to shout about, but as long as my feet are happy, I don't care what they look like!

The go-to 'non-athletic' athletic shoe frankly. I've been buying the 574's for like 20-some years for basic purpose of getting around with jeans. Super comfortable everyday wear. No a particularly good running shoe but that might just be me.
This is also the first pair of Black. I should have picked grey on second thought.
Reviewer Jacee May
I wore these all summer/ fall and they still look great- far better than I expected. The leather is a good quality and holds up to rain and lots of wear. I use a custom foot bed for added arch support.
Reviewer Compass Rose
I typically wear a wide shoe and this one's advertised as a medium width so I knew the risk I was taking... Sure enough- if you have a wide foot, do not order these. That being said they do fit, just too snug for me. I did test them though and they're very comfortable to walk in and they are extremely lightweight. Highly recommend them if you have a normal to slimmer foot!
