I really liked this shoe. It was comfortable and looked nice, but basically broke down within a year. I wore them out to a casual rehearsal dinner BBQ, and they got muddy, it was the final kick in the butt I needed to throw away broken shoes, despite only being 1 year old

The shoe fit pretty good except that the back was a bit too short and it wasnt as deep as hoped for the insert. Have a hard time finding shoes for size 17 long toe foot. Usually cant find a wide enough toe bow so have been trying the wide width. They were so close to being what was wanted, but did return the shoes. Burgendy/hemp is not as bad as red, but I'll wear most colors if I can just find the right fit.

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.

Packed well and looks great. Fits perfectly. Weather has been terrible most likely won't wear until spring. Box and packaging was great as well.

Great all around (adidas knockoff) shoes for the price.
Reviewer A Heinze
Great fit. Great shoe. Wear it every day in my mostly standing job.

A loyal Skechers fan. Durability and support are great. Pricing these sneakers at retail stores one could pay at least twenty five percent more. I find walking in these sneakers reduces my back pain and a true blessing.

I ordered new not returned shoes missing mfg warranty card and all the stuff that comes with sketcher's shoes I should have known better not to trust you know who.

Mr friend has a foot problem, these are the only shoes he can wear, and this is the only place to find them in his wide size and preferred color. Scholl's quality is important b/c the way he walks wears one shoe down more quickly than the other, and Scholl's last longer than brands of lesser quality so he gets the longest life out of these.

This shoe is well made and comfortable. The look is classic. They slip on and are comfortable. The insoles are removable and the rubber sole provides traction. The10.5 fit perfectly. A nice switch from standard sneakers.
