Well fitting & comfortable.

I find the Fitsmart Low comfortable and easy to wear around town. Support is not great, especially in the area around the ball of the foot; it almost feels more like a slipper than a shoe & you wouldn't want to go hiking or standing all day in these. They do run a bit long and narrow - I dropped 1/2 a size and added a width to get it to be perfect, which it now is. It's a very nice looking shoe and fits perfectly into the "dress sneaker" category. I'd buy them again, which I can't say for all of my shoes, but again I want to caution that they are not designed for all-day standing or extensive walking; they are casual, light-duty shoes.

LOVED IT!!! Great service!!

I'm a big fan of Skechers and these did not disappoint. I have bad feet, but the souls of Skechers forms to my feet, making them as comfortable as I can hope for. They're stylish and fit well. If there is any negative to Skechers, it is that they don't last as long as some other name brands, but that's any easy tradeoff for the comfort they provide.

Suede finish-colors are as photographed. Shoe is roomy. Great for casual wear. Unique and striking colors. 4 stars is because I didn't keep them.
Reviewer Dan Benjoseph
Good walking shoes--could be a bit wider!

Same as last time I tried a pair of converse. Really tight, though they're getting more comfortable as time goes on.
They really are just a very reliable pair of shoes.

These are comfortable and they look great. I believe they have a stitched rubber cup sole, which are common on fashion sneakers and I love them for their comfort. The leather isn't anything to write home about, but it's comfortable and finished well.
I purchased these with a deep discount, so I'm definitely getting my money's worth out of them. At full price, however, there are better quality fashion sneakers, but finding them in all these colors may prove difficult.
I put down that they run a little large, because they do for athletic shoes, although they run as expected for dress shoe brands, like Cole Haan. So I ordered a half size down from my usual athletic shoe size (nike, et al) and they fit perfect. So choose your size based off your dress shoes, rather than your athletic sneakers, as you should always do when you're not ordering from an athletic shoe brand, unless you've been instructed otherwise.
Overall, I'm very pleased with these shoes and will consider paying more for another pair in the future, but only if they're on sale.

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.
