These are as snappy and well-made as Vans for half the price. I've worn boating slip-ons since I was a little kid, and these are as good or better than most of the brand-name leaders. Very satisfied, will buy again once I wear these out.

Absolutely gorgeous shoes! The quality is simply unmatched. I mean, really! These are quality shoes with style! Every pair I buy - FRYE.
Reviewer Em Gallagher
A good pair of hiking boots, but not as good as 'Red Wing or Fyre boots'! I have found them to be somewhat , uncomfortable & prefer my more comfortable 'Combat Boots'!

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.
I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.
This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.
I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

My daughter loves her Vans Slip on shoes!
She says they’re very comfortable!

From 6 feet up it looks like a Detroit Lions shoe. You really need to know your branding to realize it’s puma.
Reviewer Terry Beck
I like the shoes they fit comfortable

Skechers makes some nice shoes. The fit and feel of these shoes was that of quality materials and craftsmanship. Skechers tend to run a bit large for the stated size. I'm a 9.5 (mens US), but I can often wear a 9 in Skechers. This shoe (bone) looks great with flare-leg blue jeans.

They were alright/good for the first 6 months. There are two things I don't like about this shoe. They used a pink open cell foam under the insole that will get very petrydish like if/when you replace the insole. I wish they used closed cell foam and used a built in antimicrobial like microban silver phosphate. The tread makes a squeeling sound when walking on ceramic tile/marble it's somewhat embarrassing when your the only one with squeeking shoes at work. They are comfortable easy to put on I just wish they fixed those things & generally designed it to last longer instead of being a throw away item.

These are some sick shoes! The quality is superb and they look awesome with jeans and casual wear because of the sneaker style. They are the perfect pair for the high fashion gentleman in your life that also has a bit of edge and he will be sure to receive plenty of compliments.
