Customer Reviews New Balance Classics ML565

Pretty awesome shoes. I managed to snag the blue ones. They're pretty easy to keep clean, and no scuffs or scratches yet. My first pair of non-Dr. Martens in about 12 years.

Excellent customer service! Fast delivery! No complaints after a number of different purchases -- all shoes to date. Wish this particular style had better arch support.

Overall these shoes have been great. They look great have great support and are incredibly durable. I've worn them as work shoes nearly every day since I got them. I'm on my feet almost all day (sometimes up to 10-11 hrs) and they've held up really well. Much more so than a pair of high end Merell brand shoes I got. My only complaint would be the lack of ventilation. I live in the south so it can get pretty hot and sweaty. At this point they're pretty stinky. Just bought a pair of shoes to replace them, but decided to go with something that breathes a bit more. Still, recommended.

Needed some shoes that would provide comfort and support while at the gym. These shoes were it. Had them for several weeks and they hug my feet perfectly. However I have plantar fasciitis so I had to remove the insole and replaced them with some power step ones. Great combination. Quick note: If you happen to step in motor oil, these shoes will be quick to slip. Not oil resistant.

I saw these on the Street Shot Style Blog. They look old skool cool but they fit too narrow for my feet.

This sneaker runs small, it's particularly very narrow. Needs to be wider. I ordered them in my normal size and they were very tight, and I don't have wide feet. It's a shame because they're very nice. If you're gonna order them, order at least 1/2 size up.

They use the reflective coating for the red N and heel backing, from 15-20' away with indoor lighting they turn bright pink. Otherwise very comfortable, and good style.

Style looks great, and loved the color scheme. But when I went to try these on, there was something just not right with the fit. The tongue seems over padded, and didn't feel comfortable. And while NB tends to run true to size, but toes felt just a tad crammed. I ended up returning. Thanks for the easy return policy.

These shoes run much smaller and narrower than the 574. The toe box is also very shallow, to the point where the top of my toe was in contact with the fabric all the time. After a couple of days of wear, I tried a thinner insole to give a little bit more room, but it was still uncomfortable. The quality was also disappointing for NB, with the shape of the overlays at the toe of the left and right shoe being very different, like they came from two different pairs. I should have returned them. They do look good, though.

I think this model is way tighter across the toe box and is much narrower than the 574 model. I liked these because they were all leather, but these are much less comfortable for me than the 574.
