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.

Superstars have been in style since the 80's and keep on rocking. These Vulcs are a bit lighter than the original and the insole is different. The insoles are comfortable, but they aren't as slick and more of a rubber kind of material that don't really allow you to slip these one while leaving the laces tied like the original. Also the stripes are more integrated into the side instead of being a seperate stitched piece like on the originals and tend to crack kind of over time. Besides that, I do find they wear better over time than the originals.

I love it that these shoes are exactly what my husband has been wearing for at least 5 years. I looked everywhere in stores but only found them here. They are perfect and fit so well.

I'm a white sneakers kinda guy. Tried these, look great but a little too stiff in the soles and edges of feet.

A great fit but it would be better with memory foam. Still very comfortable.

My husband loves these new shoes his Dr told him to find some more supportive shoes than what he was wearing . Excellent choice.

Like other reviews I have read I had to size down. I’m a woman’s size 6 and I bought a size 4 (originally) and it was too big. I look like I had clown shoes on. So I bought a size 3 and they fit perfectly!! I could have got a 3.5 and been fine, but I strictly use these for lifting on leg days only and I prefer them just a tad bit more snug, however they aren’t uncomfortable in any way! Love them!

Vans have never been super comfortable. These are simple and cute shoes to wear for a short period of time.
