Just a great walking shoe for this old man. Easy on and off, a cushioned sole, and plenty wide. As reviewers stated, they tend to pick up rocks off our driveway.

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.

My hubby wore the Vibram 5 toe shoes for years but I didn't like the fact of no support so switched to the Skeletoes. Keep in mind all you switchovers that these are 4 toes; the last two fit together. But hubby really likes them, the price is way better than Vibram and he wears them all day and his back no longer hurts. He still wears the Vibrams for scuba-diving....me too. I did buy him a pair of the cushioned sole Vibrams but he didn't like the lace up style and didn't have velcro version (still don't know if they do). But these Skeletoes are amazing for him and I'm glad he's finally getting the support he needs as he's on his feet all day long. Great product and great price.

Bought a size 6.5 mens and fits perfect as I am an 8 womens. Cute sneaker. Just not comfortable for long walks.

This is the second pair of Sketchers Black Work Shoes I have purchased for my son. Wanted him to have a spare. He is an A/C Technician and is constantly moving on a daily basis. These comfortable / professional looking shoes work exceptionally well for him. They are NOT steel-toed ... but quality is apparent. I highly recommend these Sketchers Work Shoes.

They’re Chucks! You cannot go wrong. Mine fit as expected, but I know my shoe size for this style since I have been wearing them for decades. If you don’t know your size, go to a store and try them on. Then come back to amazon if the price is right!
Reviewer G M Papp
The shoe is good looking and very comfortable. One of the best shows I’ve bought in a while. I mostly buy Clark’s for their comfort, but these beat any of the clarks I’ve purchased.
