SK8 Low Mens Skate Shoes (Black)

Reviewer squiggles50

My son is a heavy guy and finding shoes that are supportive and the right width is challenging. He stands on his feet all day so it's important he have comfortable support, and according to him, these shoes do the job very nicely. I plan to buy him another pair when I can.

I bought these Asics for my son because he was wearing through his K-Swiss shoes every two weeks on hard courts. The Asics will probably last 5 to 6 times as long.

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.

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!!!

I always buy my shoes extra wide. I've bought many New Balance shoes in the 4E. These are marked and tagged 4E, however when I put them on, they are not as wide as any other wide shoe I've bought. I'm hoping that they'll break in a bit (likely) and I love the way they look. So I'll keep them.

I like the shoes they fit comfortable

My son shattered his ankle last spring and after a long road is finally back to work. I gave these to him to try out as I'm not a huge top fan. He said the fit is perfect. Quality is first rate and amazing comfort. He also said the support these provide was amazing. He is in and out of a delivery can all day and often has to walk up and down several flights of stairs. Even after a long 12 hour shift his feet were (specifically the broken one) not tired or sore. He loves these sneakers. His only complaint was that the white gets dirty very quickly.

They’re Chucks! You cannot go wrong. Mine fit as expected, but I know my shoe size for this style since I have been wearing them for decades. If you don’t know your size, go to a store and try them on. Then come back to amazon if the price is right!
