New Balance 550 White Red

Reviewer Rafael Beckford

574's are my favorite shoes. Perfect fit every time-- and they last 4-6 months despite me walking at least 5 miles outside every day.

Reviewer Alexander E Gibson

Great shoes, i will be replacing the soles of the shoe. I do love these shoes, they were much more comfortable than my converse for walking around in on vacation. I will be finding some better inserts to walk around on though, I thought the memory foam would have been a little more comfortable, but they were still great. K Swiss will always be my favorite, even if this white color wasn't the best choice for walking around New Orleans.

Great fit. True to US sizing. Very comfortable. Just got back from my first 2 mile walk in these shoes and they feel so good and light on my feet I have the Soulfully youthful exuberance of a school boy in my stride (memories, reminiscing the good ol' days). What surprised me the most is I haven't added comfort gel insoles and they don't need them. Honestly the most comfortable shoe I've worn in a long long time. Even better then my nike air felt (still have them to wear in bad weather). I love this pair of Stan Smith shoes even more than being barefoot on the park grass or dancing in the sand at the ocean. I'm old school impressed, old school quality.

I normally wouldn't consider a synthetic leather shoe, because I'd never seen any that weren't awful in nearly every way possible. The only reason I considered these is because I needed shoes that fit very particular criteria and one of them was that they're synthetic. So I ordered a pair to evaluate them and the verdict is very positive.

It's not real leather, but it's close. It actually reminds me of cheap leather shoes, but without all the creasing (like comfortable Reeboks, which used loose leather for comfort). The rubber sole seems comfortable and the synthetic lining looks like it'll be easy to keep clean. It has average arch support and the insole is stuck in place, but it does offer good cushioning.

I ordered my normal sneaker size and it fits great, so I'd say the sizing is perfect (I wear a a half size larger in New Balance and sometimes with Nike). The laces are a little long, but just a little and they're nice laces.

Overall, they're nice shoes. No, they're not real leather and I didn't judge them as if they were. But there are some advantages with synthetic leather shoes and these will work great for those who understand they're not leather.

My husband loves these. I purchased a woman's pair and told him they were the most comfortable sneakers I'd ever tried. He decided to order and is very happy. They are comfortable and he can't say enough good things about the fit. He's been paying $123 for sneakers at a sport shop - these beat those sneakers hands down. We will purchase these again.

Reviewer M Starr

He looks like a "Sport Model" when he wears them.

Reviewer Vicki J Shofner

Comfortable but not particularly durable. Bottom tread is awkward.

Reviewer Hawaii

Reviewer GURESU

Really great shoes. My husband just loved them and they are soo comfortable. He was very satisfied. They look great on him and the comfort and the light shoe make this a great purchase.

Reviewer T Peiser

Love these shoes. Be sure to order a half size smaller. I have nothing negative to say. Great shoes, great price.
