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

As a longtime customer who has owned Emerica shoes and watched the quality go down throughout the years. These shoes are a great pair to own. The quality is good and as expected for an $80 pair of shoes. Very happy with my purchase.

Hubby has wide feet, a tiny bit wider would have been nice, HOWEVER THEY DO FIT HIM, HE IS HAPPY WITH THEM

These are far more comfortable then typical canvas sneakers, but they offer a similar casual look. The sizing is very accurate, so order your normal size, regardless of whether you plan on wearing them with or without socks.
I've seen some reviews mention that they run narrow, but I don't agree. Compared to your typical canvas sneaker, they actually run wide and probably run wide compared to many other sneakers, as well. They have very ample toe room.

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.

Nothing sketcy about Sketcher. A few years ago I had some major foot trouble so since then I have been careful to protect my hoofies with ankle support and molded foot inserts. None of that matters if you have lousy shoes. I first bought a pair of Skechers Men's Afterburn Memory-Foam Lace-up Sneakers at a small box store after seeing them advertised. Best cheap shoe I ever wore. Liked them so much that I just bought a backup pair here...but I didn't have to. My older pair is still going strong. Lastability. So, if you're not some kind of shoe diva and are looking for a good ride...get yours. I like 'em!

they fit an old guy really well
Reviewer Jeremy L Osborn
These shoes are incredibly comfortable. They super soft and springy and so far have been great for walking/hiking!
I suggest ordering a half a size as they ran a bit large.
Reviewer J Wolfsberger
These shows are great to add a titch more style to an outfit than more typical sneakers, but they're still super comfortable. My feet don't typically require tons of cushion or arch support, so i caution those with bad feet or those who run a lot to maybe avoid these. I used to be a 50-60miles per week runner, and personally, i had to avoid these type of flattish-arched shoes or my feet would get sore / injured quickly. However, for the couple miles per day I walk in the city these days (in these shoes) and the 10 miles i run per week (not in these shoes), they work perfectly. Highly recommend

Being this is my second pair of Puma's and like most of the reviews on here....If your going to purchase Puma's always buy 1/2 size larger. You will save your self a lot of time by doing this. Look at other reviews and you will see many on here have said the same thing....Select 1/2 size larger.....
This is a great driving shoe and looks great....guess that's why they call them "Fashion Sneakers...
