Travis Scott x Air Jordan 1 Low OG Velvet Brown DFCE1141

Reviewer Elizabeth A Riggs

Super, super narrow. WIsh they made these in a true medium, or wide version

Reviewer juanita morris

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.

Overall, a really great shoe. My feet are always getting hot, and these shoes provide great ventilation. They're light and easy to put on. Even so, they seem sturdy. I've been wearing them every day for a few weeks, (walking around, biking, etc.) and they haven't worn down more than any other shoe I've had.

I do think the laces seem a little weak, which is the only thing keeping these shoes from being a 5 star purchase. It's probably worth buying a new pair of laces and doing them up yourself.

Reviewer Anthony Bailey

They fit well and are very comfortable. They look fantastic with shorts!!

Reviewer Mathew K Higbee

better price here than at the mall. the gold logo they use on the tongue now is not durable at all. i can see it starting to wear off.

Reviewer Wynndee

Light weight, looks nice, eye catching, unusual, quick drying. look good with nice slacks, jeans or even shorts. seriously, can you ask for more!

Reviewer Charlotte Wuepper

These are just as described. They fit very well and they're comfortable. The color is cute. Good deal. 😁

Reviewer Leroy Twain

This was from amazon personal shopper. This is not my type of style for shoes. They weren't that comfortable but I normally wear sneakers. My wife loved them but I decided not to get them.

Reviewer H Melander

I'm hard on my shoes. I bought two pair of these to rotate to keep from wearing any one pair out too much. I've had them a few months and the soles are starting to wear - the treads peeling off in places. Haven't lasted as long as some other brands but have lasted longer than I would have guessed. So good but not great.
