New Balance 550 Vintage Red

Reviewer George Drick

I'm getting old/lazy. I like the ease and quickness of the straps.

Reviewer Sheryl Crow

Great shoes. True to size and very comfortable. We bought for an 80's costume and now he wears them all the time.

Reviewer Phillytomster

real and soft.

I wear them all day at work. They work pretty good for me.

Reviewer Mary A Bosken

These shoes help my back pain and relieve and relieved the stiffness.

Reviewer A Heinze

Great fit. Great shoe. Wear it every day in my mostly standing job.

Reviewer COR

The styling is fine; the fit is as expected. The memory foam bedding is defintely comfortable and as a walking shoe in summer, this is a great option. Best suited for casual wear/walking around town/walking. Though lightweight, its utility as a primary shoe for running/jogging is limited, IMO, nostly due to concerns on how well the foam cushion and stitching can hold up for regular use. Overall, at this price point, a good value for walking/casual sneakers - the "performance sneaker" may still be true, but it will significantly reduce the life of the shoe.

Months later I still love my two pairs of these shoes. (I have one pair that are smaller that I use for general around town wear, and a 1/2 size larger I use for longer walks) I often put them on when I get home from a long hike/walk and they are very comfortable to spend the rest of the day in because of the way they spread your toes out. They are great for walking on rocks because the 'blocks' on the bottom stick like glue. But wet they are very slippery. And it takes a while for them to dry out. The sole is about worn out on one of my pairs but there are no holes anywhere in the shoe, not even between the toes where the material seems very thin. My longest walk in them has been 10 miles on a paved bike trail.

I'm bumping my review up to 5 stars for having performed so well over the long run.

I like the look and feel of these shoes. Very simple and low, comfortable basic sneakers. They look good, even though there is so much rubber on the sides. The fit is perfect in my experience. I usually take a 13 in sneakers and often a 12 in boots, but with some sneakers I have to worry about the width - not a problem here. These fit right, don't cramp, but also don't leave my heel lifting in the back.

The prices are all over the place depending on the size you get, but these seem like a steal when your size happens to be on the inexpensive end of that scale.
