WMNS Air Jordan 1 High OG 'Starfish' Reps

Reviewer Rosalba Martinez

I love them, they fit like a glove. But be careful in the image they show a little brown, they are true black as in description

Reviewer Edward Alton

big and floppy

Reviewer KinCO

Fits better than any shoe i've had before, very comfortable and easy to slip on and off, but sturdy enough if you do a lot of walking.

Reviewer R Birkett

Listed as relaxed fit but they seem narrower than other sketchers relaxed fit. True to size. Nice looking sneaker with almost all leather uppers. Bought for summer wear when doing yard work because the lawn is usually damp and the leather uppers will help with that

Reviewer jsartori

These are very comfortable. Great to slip on and off. Not the best for a workout but better for casual wear. Good for the price.

Reviewer Rreader Lady

Great deal! These shoes are $49 local. Very light, great for working out inside or out. Paid $18 for them on Amazon with free shipping.

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.
