These shoes are very comfortable! I ordered 2 more pair in different colors!

Okay, these are (or appear to be) all cloth, even the soles. Mine are pretty tight fitting but I’ve bought other slip on type shoes that seem to fit just right and after wearing them for a bit then there too loose, so I’m hoping that after I wear these, they loosen up a bit and for just right.
What I DO like is they are light weight and due to the cloth soles, my feet breathe much better than wearing rubber or plastic soles slippers.

My fault that I didn’t get the 10.5 wide. I re-ordered and got the right ones.

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.

Bought these with my birthday money and exactly what I wanted!

By far one of the most comfortable shoes I've had. Very good support in the heel and the arch. I'm a wide 2E and wear 9.5-10. bought these in a 10 have about an inch worth of space in the to but I'm good with that.
I don't do much running but doing squats in them was like doing squats on a floor, a soft cushioned supported floor for my foot.
This shoe is great. Will buy another pair.

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.

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!
Reviewer Stan Kravit
Easy on and off. Great kicker slippers for keeping feet off the cold floors. I haven’t used them outside.
Reviewer Lance Hirsch
Comfortable, no need to breaking, look good, wear satisfactorily.
