I have been wearing these flipflops all summer, every summer for almost 20 years. I get a new pair every year. I love them.

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.

Perfect deal by seller. Evrything went awsome!

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!

I have been wearing Dyads for several years. I have one foot that supinates and this shoe does the best job of coping with it compared to any other shoe I have worn. The shoe is very cushioned but relatively stable. I really disliked the Dyad 9. The changes made it less comfortable and less cushioned than the previous models. The Dyad 10 has rectified all of those issues. I use the shoe for walking, as I can't run anymore. I just returned from 2 weeks in Europe walking over a lot of uneven cobblestone walkways and streets. I never turned my ankle once. My arthritic knees felt just fine. I also like the muted colors of the shoe. The gray is perfect for me with the tan logo ok. I really don't like the garish neon colors that so many shoe companies use these days. The shoe fits perfectly. A little snug in the forefoot, but not so much that it creates a hot spot. I highly recommend this shoe for anyone looking for a cushioned, neutral shoe that has good stability. I'd wear them anywhere.

Honestly. . . These shoes are super ugly. Having said that. . . . I quite like them. Hahahaha
They are very lightweight. I have the size 8 and they weigh 6oz. There is really nice padding inside. There’s also arch support. They easily slip-on, as there is so much stretch to the fabric. I like the tag on the back to help pull then on. Very breathable.
The sold is anti-skid. It’s plastic. I have some other shoes with what I believe to be a similar sole. I thought that they would wear-down quickly. . . but. . . that’s not been the case.
These shoes are Made in India. They look and feel cheap. . . but. . . I can’t get past the comfort part. Ever if they don’t last all that long. . . I’ll enjoy them while I can.

I did NOT expect these shoes to be what they said they were. Isn't that terrible? Lol. I was SURE I was going to receive some duct taped paper cups, with a poorly printed logo on it, and y'all.... I got actual shoes. I can really run in them, they're comfortable, and they look exactly how they do on the site. I'm certainly getting more of these, pretty soon.

I ordered a size 13 I felt like a size 14 I pretty much always wear a 13 in all my shoes. A very shiny shoe as for Comfort I didn't really wear them because they were just too big they look like I had clown shoes on.
Reviewer Joni Buhler

Lightweight, breath well, plenty of cushion, fair price. New Balance at it's best.
