Saucony OG Progrid Omni 9 Microchip DED0514

Reviewer V Deshpande

The girls flip flops don't have enough sole for me especially with me having a wide foot. So I made an estimate about what size I needed and they fit perfect. I also like the better color options

Reviewer Grace Day

Great comfortable sneakers

Reviewer Linwe

Perfect for high arch and Fred flintstone feet. Super pleased with these two pairs. Would buy a black pair but I never find a 12EEEE

Reviewer Kimberly M Watkins

I LOVE THESE! I was looking for something I could wear for workouts at home that weren’t heavy or bulky like my sneakers, but that had some support and traction. These were PERFECT! The men’s were the only ones I could find solid black in, so that’s why I got those over women’s. I guessed at the size, I’m normally an 11 or 11 1/2 in women’s and got a large, and they fit but still have a little bit of extra room, but it hasn’t bothered me. I’ve also used them at work a couple times when my work shoes were bothering my feet but I needed something, and these totally worked! Great product!

I love these snickers. Perfect fit and don't have to bother with shoe laces. Very comfortable.

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.

Perfect for gym use. Happy with the purchase. Great deal

Reviewer Clifton Meynard

Love their extra wide, very comfortable.

Reviewer Suzanne Cookson

Super lightweight shoes with soft cushion soles. Literally the lightest lace up shoes I have ever worn. Very comfortable and airy. Woven upper lets feet breathe, but will let in dew to soak feet. Only real downside is the shoelaces that came with shoes are way too long and drape across the feet to touch the walking surface. Otherwise a great casual shoe

Reviewer Helen Mulligan

These shoes took my back through memory lane as I laced them up with the extra pair of FAT laces that were provided.. That was a nice surprise! I will be ordering another pair of these once I scuff these up on these next few months of summer. Haha! Old School is the only school I know! Great buy! Fast shipping! All around excellent service! Thanks!!!
