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.

Very easy -snap on- shoes. Like and really comfy. Love the looks too.
Certainly would buy again and will look for more colors and styles to consider.

These are nice canvas sneakers. They lace up and have a rubber like sole. The men's 10.5 fit perfectly. They are lightweight and comfortable. However there is not much support or cushioning. The "chino" color is a pleading beige. I like the look and feel.
Reviewer Arizona Wildman
The fit is great - they are very comfortable and they look sharp! Good, sturdy soles - good for so much more than driving - although they would definitely be good for long trips. With all the crazy innovations in tennis shoes (sneakers), it’s nice to have a pair that are just the basic design - but an extremely well-made version. These look like they will last forever!
Reviewer Toaster
There is nothing do not like about this particular product.
Reviewer C J Barron
These puma sneakers have exceeded my expectations. They are cool looking, super comfortable and very stylish. The insoles are soft and foamy. I would recommend.
Reviewer L Lain
They fit prefect and I recommend them, if they are on sale anyhow as they aren't the most confortable shoes on the planet but they are well constructed and provide good foot movement for walking.
Reviewer T S McFarland
Arch support is not that big of an issue since my back problems keep me from walking much anyway
Reviewer Benjamin Solah
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!
