I normally wear 10.5 4e (xw) but with these i had to go down to 10 4e because there was just too much space between heel/toe and shoe.
For the price i paid, these are excellent set like expected. Not my first dunham, ive had many before from boots to sandals.

Just a great walking shoe for this old man. Easy on and off, a cushioned sole, and plenty wide. As reviewers stated, they tend to pick up rocks off our driveway.

I am a huge Chuck fan - BUT I have flat feet, and can wear them comfortably. My husband and daughter cannot. I feel like most people that wear Chucks do so because they want to make a "fashion statement" at the cost of their feet... I just need them for my flat feet - and thus every 10-12 months I order a pair of Black Chuck Taylors, works for me!

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.

Arrived with the unexpected but much welcomed red and white stripes.
Reviewer ChuckyB18
These were a lot nicer than I thought they would be, at a fantastic price too. I bought them as a gift, so I will have to reserve final judgement when the recipient sees/wears them. Not an easy size to find in stores, so this is a great opportunity to get the shoe I wanted at the right price. Arrived fast, and in great condition

These socks are great and have great stretch. I bought these for a friend who wears a size 14 Mens and these socks fit him comfortably.
Reviewer penny petrie
Decided to go out on a limb and buy shoes with out going to a store. What a great experience. These shoes were a perfect fit, super comfortable, and great quality. I would suggest to anyone looking for a pair of walking around shoes.
