Air Jordan 1 Retro Low Golf Shadow

Reviewer Janet Kirkham

Bought for hubby, his regular sketchers size 12. These fit amazingly great and he loses the comfort level. They look great too. Thank you for the try before you buy option.

I have been wearing these exact shoes for I ver 12 years. Each pair last more than 3 years and I wear them everyday. Good fit and wide.

Puma's are nice shoes that always fit me great. They're also easy to find on sale, which makes them the price/performance king. They look quite nice, as well!

I purchased these to replace some Nike Sweet's that were a little too big for me. I think the Nike Sweet is a nicer shoe (more padding and softer, thicker leather, etc), but they also cost more. These Puma's are tagged the same size as the Nike's, but they run a little smaller (the footprint does appear a little wider, though). I own several pairs of Puma Suede's and these run about the same size as the Suede does.

Even though I think the Nike Sweet is a better made shoe, there's something about these that I just like better. For one, I think they look better and I'm just more comfortable in them. I wore the Sweet regularly as a kid, back when Nike originally released them, so that's why I purchased them first. When they didn't fit, I purchased the Match 74 to replace them and I couldn't be happier with 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.

They fit true to size, they are comfortable, and the color (blue71) is so awesome. For $20, they are great. My only complaint is that one of the shoes is not centered, so the laces are off center. It's not enough to cost a star or send them back, I mean they're 20 bucks, you can't expect them to be perfect...

Reviewer Roget Lockard

They were a good price and seem to be very comfortable, but they are hard to put on.

Reviewer David Wickre

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!

Reviewer Tina Spencer

I got these light-up shoes for my husband to wear with a loud suit. They look fun!

Reviewer jenny shimada

I got a great deal on these shoes that more than makes up for them being an off brand. They fit great, light weight and good for summer time as they're really breathable. Love the lacing system, just twist the knob to tighten and pull it out to loosen. Good shoes, even better deal!

Great fit, for adults or kids with big feet. Wear a helmet at first! Great fun with you kids.
