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.

Almost a bit too much, but super comfortable. I just hope they'll be easy to clean when the time comes.

Kind of tight in the toes

I got these for my hubby, who is a diabetic and has to take great care of his feet. We used to use a different brand but these Skechers are way better than the ones he had! Along with the good cushioned socks he wears these shoes are super for a diabetic, highly recommend them. By the way I bought them via "Amazon .Wardrobe" and loved it!

I ordered these shoes for my 14yo son and they are working out great! He has been wearing them to school for over a month and he likes them a lot. They are holding up well and still look newish. Plus he says they are comfortable. I believe him too because he is incredibly picky, lol. I requested this pair in his current shoe size and I would say these shoes are true to size (tts).
I like these shoes because they match nearly all of his outfits. I also the dark color hides a lot of dirt. The outer material is nice quality and has been easy enough for me to spot clean. I can't think of one bad thing to write about these shoes and it appears they will last a while. I would definitely consider them a good deal.
