Just finished my first shift in these new kitchen kicks - love these shoes. Best part is how light weight they are and how much cushioning they offer.
They look good, co-workers thought I had Chucks on...but I showed them they are from Emeril, are water & oil slip resistant and they are treated to keep my feet dry.

For the cost/drip ratio, you cannot beat these kicks.
Surprisingly comfortable for an inexpensive shoe that some may consider only for aesthetics.
If you are concerned about creasing the toe, buy toe cap protectors at the same time as it (crease) will show after very little use.
I bought toe caps and it's kept it straight with no loss in comfort.
I always get tons of compliments on these shoes, and they feel great.
There are some minor craftsmanship details that look rough on close inspection but, nothing most people would ever notice and I nothing I would have any issue with for the price.
I have seem similar shoes for 10x the price, and you would not know the difference from 1m away.
I will likely buy another pair to store away, for whenever these end up wearing out.

Great shoe, very comfortable right out of the box and look great. They seem to run a little big. I had to get a half size smaller than normal.
Reviewer S Fay
Great deal! These shoes are $49 local. Very light, great for working out inside or out. Paid $18 for them on Amazon with free shipping.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.
I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.
This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.
I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

good fitting- sturdy work shoe
Reviewer Dietmar Wagenknecht
I loved this shoes for work, are really comfortable. However, a sample or guide of size with more detail is needed in order to ensure they fit before buy them. Because the first one I ordered were small but then the exchange were too large.
Reviewer Dennis M Wong
This runs a little bigger than usual,but these are made well. These have a strong chemical smell. They do hold up well under all weather and conditions,they come with an extra pair of laces.
Reviewer S Stritof
Very clean and stylish shoe! Comfortable and light. I did think it ran a bit large (long) for what I typically order. It is quite low cut around the ankles... keep that in mind when buying socks.

I have worn ECCO shoes for about 15+ years. My first pair was business casual shoes. I eventually migrated over to Ecco golf shoes. This shoe is the first pair of ECCO casual shoes I have purchased. With all the ECCO shoes over the years, they fit my feet very well and have remained a consistent shoe size for me. Of course, fit is a personal matter, but one you find your size, they are very consistent.
