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.

Bety Nice show andas very confortable
Reviewer Rich Robideaux
Since it took over a month to get these shoes, I thought I'd better keep them. In the future, I'll go to a local store. Easier to try on and since the stores are open again, that makes more sense.

Great comfortable shoe for working in a concrete floor building!!

They were alright/good for the first 6 months. There are two things I don't like about this shoe. They used a pink open cell foam under the insole that will get very petrydish like if/when you replace the insole. I wish they used closed cell foam and used a built in antimicrobial like microban silver phosphate. The tread makes a squeeling sound when walking on ceramic tile/marble it's somewhat embarrassing when your the only one with squeeking shoes at work. They are comfortable easy to put on I just wish they fixed those things & generally designed it to last longer instead of being a throw away item.

I've been running with New Balance shoes for years and found them to be the best. What I didn't realize is that they make such comfortable shoes for everyday wear. I spend a lot of time standing and walking on my job; I also have plantar fasciitis due to high arch and physical stress on my feet. I've tried pretty much everything from running shoes to walking shoes, as well as hi-end Clark's, and different arch supports. NB 801 are by far the most comfortable. They provide outstanding cushioning and support; you can easily slip them off for few minutes, and they look well-made. For the first time in years my fasciitis is not aggravated after hours of standing. I will get a second pair for traveling.

Actually for the price points I did not expect much on these. However, much to my surprise these were way better than I thought they would be. They are extremely lightweight molded foam And seem to be great for shuffling. They have a somewhat slick bottom which makes them great for dancing. The fiber optic light up is a lot brighter than I thought they would be and has a lot more settings then I expected for the price point. They are rechargeable and seem to have a pretty good 5 to 6 hour battery life. I got a second pair just to have as back up for shows because they’re cheap enough to have two. They got a lot of attention at the last show that I was that and everyone asked me where I got them. Would highly recommend!

Love these Pumas, would buy many more. They're casual and look slick at the same time.
