New Balance 530 BABC3685

Reviewer V Deshpande

The girls flip flops don't have enough sole for me especially with me having a wide foot. So I made an estimate about what size I needed and they fit perfect. I also like the better color options

Reviewer Kim Schmitt

Nice knockoffs, same fit, much less money.

Reviewer Gwenneth Willoughby

These really helped my back while being on my feet all day on a concrete floor for my new job. Really like them and would recommend them to my friends.

Best Creative Recreation low tops I have worn to date. The inner sole does not speak as with prior shoes from them since it is now woven into the shoe. Also these shoes last extremely long and the seam where the shoe attaches to the bottom does not detach as it is woven as well. Has lasted me all summer and continues to stay as structurally intact as the day bought. Also the bottom does not "mush" or become flattened over time which is nice to see with the EVA sole.

The gray and white look tight.

I just love them because I can now tie my sneakers with that velcro on top. I've been looking and looking and now I found them. I had a stroke so I've only got one arm to use and their great. Thanks again. Frank

I like the shoes they fit comfortable

Reviewer Katherine A Stuart

Probably the best pair of shoes I've bought in the last several years. They're comfortable, sturdy, and stylish. I have no complaints.

First off, I wear a size 14 in most shoes, including Five Ten Freerider mountain biking shoes. These are only made up to a 13. I heard that they come a little large though and decided to try them out. I'm not sure if this is true across all sizes, but the 13 is more like a 13.75. They ended up fitting me very well. So, be careful on the size.

The main reason I bought these though is that I LOVE the Stealth rubber soles on my MTB shoes and wanted to try out a pair of hiking/approach shoes from Five Ten. Even though the tread pattern doesn't look terribly aggressive, these are the best gripping trail shoes I've owned. They are comfortable all around with a reasonably wide toe box and good cushioning at the top of the tongue and under the ankle. The soles are stiff and took a little while to break in. I still wouldn't say they've "softened" all that much though. The bottom of the shoe is pretty stiff and the inner sole is not very cushy. They are comfortable for wearing all day though. I recently traveled with them for 10 days as my only pair of shoes both walking around town and hiking. So, they're fine. If you like a soft sole or lots of padding though, these are definitely not for you.

The only complaint I have is that these shoes do not breathe well at all. They're mostly a soft leather with a little bit of mesh. The mesh is thick though. My feet get hot in lots of shoes, but these are very hot. The flip side is that they do a decent job of keeping moisture out. During rainy hikes, my feet have stayed pretty dry. For me, the durability is nice. I've beaten up a lot of shoes hiking and I can tell these are going to hold up well. They're very well made and solid.

Overall, I really like these shoes. You just have to be good with the tradeoffs. They choose durability, grip and stiffness over being lightweight and breathable. And I feel like I should repeat that they are not cushy. They have stiff soles, but flex enough to walk around in all day no matter what the terrain. Give them a try if that's what you're after.

I ordered these 206 Collective men's leather shoes for my son. He loves old school tennie's such as the Ked's we wore as kids. So glad they make them now for adults. The off-white leather and suede on these are wonderful! Gives the shoe a more dress-up look. And the insole wraps around the heel area which is very comfortable. I haven't given them to my son yet so I'm not sure how the fit will be on him. But these look and feel very well made. So hopefully I'll come back with an update once he tries these on. I hope he likes them..
