Nike Air Force 1 Low Purple Snake CEAD2649

Reviewer M Ruffini

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.

I like the shoes they fit comfortable

-) But this is entirely a personal observation. I didn't lower my rating for it.

Purchased the first size and they were big so exchanged for this size! Wonderful!

Great product and purchase.

Like the look, but as with most tennis shoes for me....feet start to ache after a few hours of standing and walking.

Reviewer Kenneth D Simpson

Look sort of cheap to be Clark shoes. Still, they look okay for what they are. Boat shoes, I'd say. Thought they were athletic type shoes. The bottom is completely flat and doesn't have the usual design expected for walking shoes. Tiny wavy ridges and flat....boat shoes. Anyway, just wanted something that looked fallish and seasonal for my husband to wear for Fall. I suppose they will do the job. Hope they don't hurt his feet.

A little tight round toe area, have to get them broken in

Arrived in a timely manner. The shoes are comfortable fitting. A little more difficult to put on than I expected. The laces do not have to be tied but are already in place and it took a shoe horn the first couple times to get on comfortably. Overall I'm pleased with the looks and fit of the shoe.
