Well, I’m glad they still sell these. This is all my husband wears. The price can’t be beat! All of the footwear stores want $75.00 or more. This is probably his 100th pair so I guess he loves them! Looks great and lasts long time too. Very comfortable. He wears them to work and hasn’t complained at all.

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.

By far one of the most comfortable shoes I've had. Very good support in the heel and the arch. I'm a wide 2E and wear 9.5-10. bought these in a 10 have about an inch worth of space in the to but I'm good with that.
I don't do much running but doing squats in them was like doing squats on a floor, a soft cushioned supported floor for my foot.
This shoe is great. Will buy another pair.

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 Lance Hirsch
Comfortable, no need to breaking, look good, wear satisfactorily.
Reviewer Dar Scharping
These are TOO CUTE! I'm a 6.5 with a high arch, narrow heel, and super wide toe. These fit PERFECT! The style is more boxy and chunky. So if you're looking for a slim fitting sleek shoe, this is not it. I already know these shoes are going to get compliments!
Reviewer Mary Kathern Horn
Again, very good looking but very narrow fitting, especially for "wide".

Bought it for a member of my tribe, who lives and swears by this particular brand. Over the years Ecco has delivered, and made a very happy customer even happier. Besides the fact that they are made with very nice leather, they look sophisticated enough to take them anywhere in most cases. The color on this pair is very pleasing to the eye, and the deal for this ECCO Men's Bradley Fashion Sneaker,Coffee/Cocoa Brown,45 EU/11-11.5 M US, made the purchase a no brainer, for they are generally a lot more expensive, and is always a good thing to take advantage of an enticing sale, which in this case was almost 50% off. Good deal for a very good shoe. 4.5 Stars.

The only thing that takes A while to get use to Is the foam insole. It literally forms to your foot. The fit Is comfortable and the size Is just about rite. I will be looking to buy more of these In the future.

Love the Carson 2 pumas not good for arch support tho but stylish, super easy to clean, last me a good while, the memory foam inside is great but goes flat fast. Overall I would and am going to buy them again
