I have worn them with and without socks..with socks is a little tighter...however they do keep your feet with socks.......you just have to try and then decide
I enjoy wearing the slippers! I have tried them with and without socks, to me it depends if it is cold or warm. They are very comfortable either way.

My husband really like this shoe
Reviewer Tim Brandt
Like these shoes alot....stylish and extremely comfortable. I normally wear a 10 1/2 in a regular shoe. Some skechers have been a tad tight so now normally order an 11. I ordered an 11 in these and they fit perfect but with no extra room.

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 got these for my daughter,she had been eyeballing them for a while.Every time we went to the mall she would ask for them,so I checked Amazon.As expected,they had them and at a lower price,which is why I shop here.Got them a few days later and everyone is happy now.

These shoes are very comfortable. They can be worn with slacks for work in relaxed work place or more casual clothes. They will be great for travel shoes. I will definitely continue to buy these when needed.

Purchased in 2021; now March 2022. The "leather" has started to wear and crack collecting dirt, the glue is separate from the sides in area. The lace holes dirty the laces. There's now a hole in one shoe at the bottom. All in all pretty great for a 30$ shoe
