The brand new teenager in the house has developed a love for Chucks. We love that we can order them instead of driving 2 hours to the nearest mall. Great quality and price.
Reviewer D Merullo
Comfortable, lightweight and waterproof. They don’t breathe as well as expected. I had an older and no longer available shoe from HH that I replaced with this shoe. The older shoe was the best shoe I have ever worn. Seriously, the single best. This one looks nicer, but isn’t quite as comfortable and doesn’t breathe as well as my old shoe. Wish I had bought more pairs when the old one was still available.

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.
Reviewer Leonard Greene
Very comfortable and nice looking shoes. Laces are good and don't come undone without tying a double bow. Soft leather uppers.

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.

Arrived as expected. Fit my 13EE feet perfectly!
Expect a year + of use, if worn in normal conditions.
When they fail, the upper separates from the sole, around thefront of the shoe.
I always use Shoe-Goo to repair. I can get an extra 6-8 months of use, after the repair.
Reviewer Nefi Falabella
The shoes are quality made; however, they're tight across the top of my feet. Perhaps after they're broken in they will be more comfortable.
Reviewer C Blanc
Second pair. Very nice shoes
