Adidas Gazelle Indoor Blue Dawn

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.

This is my second pair. These shoes are really comfortable and they held up for 2 years.

Just what I wanted but couldn't find in the stores

These Brothers United luxury lace up leather men's sneakers are really nice! They're made with leather and have a padded foot bed, elevated rubber sole, and blunt arch support for comfort. They're designed in New York and handcrafted by shoe artisans in Brazil. Brazil is known worldwide for their quality shoes. Ordered these for my son and he loves them. Very nice sneakers and fashion-forward.

At first my hubs felt weird, unsure of step but you just have to wear + get used to the height. The finish can be wiped off w/damp rag as dirt really shows. Soles are thick & well made. Inside is where the additional height comes from. These are comfortable, casual shoes that are going to add some height without looking like yr trying.

This shoe in size 13 fits me as expected/true to size. They're pretty comfortable. I really like them. I left off one star just because there's a spot on the side that looks a little wrinkled but its only minor. I want the other colors now 👍

Reviewer S A Fraser

Purchased this style previously in another color for my teenage nephew and he loved them so I purchased this pair for him as well. He was wearing the other ones all the time so now he can rotate them based on what he is wearing. They are comfortable and stylish all at the same time.

Reviewer Daniel Hale

Wish the finish was sueded rather than smooth/shiny leather.

Reviewer james massarello

They do look nice but right as I unpacked them a huge mark on the side and they are sloppy glued but remember I only paid 30 bucks for them they are not that expensive so you get what you pay for. I just need some nice shoes for work and they are that. Last I also got a 6.5 in men’s to be safe because I have always worn a 6 but they fit small I might have picked a 7. Thank you for the fast service as well in pic I show the not so good glue and mark.
