Nike Dunk Low Disrupt 2 Michigan

Reviewer Paul A Houle

Son loved them. They were what he was looking for but he certainly did not expect it!!

Reviewer Coni Jo

I wear these to work every day. Even with the “memory foam” I still added a foam insert

Reviewer Stacey Cheatham

This review is based on trying them on once.

I really like this shoe. It's very comfortable for an "old school sneaker", It has a removable insole with surprisingly good arch support and more cushioning then you'll find in a typical canvas sneaker. They're also very soft and won't rub your ankles raw. Unfortunately, I can't justify keeping them, but I find it difficult sending them back, because I like them so much (i.e. only so much closet room for shoes.)

The sizing is very accurate. They may run a little on the large side, but that's what I'd want, so I could wear them with heavy socks in Winter months. So, I disagree with those who suggest sizing up or down, because they're actually quite accurate (they're definitely not too small and I don't think they're even close to being too large, either.) The Teva brand used to run all over the place with sizing, but the last few pair I've owned and have been really consistent and accurate.

I didn't try them on a bike, but I suspect that they're very good bike riding shoes, because the soles are quite firm. In fact, I would have liked them better if the sole wasn't so firm, but I expected them to be firm as bike riding shoes. Overall, I think they're very nice sneakers, but I'm looking for something a little more fashion oriented.

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.

Shoe fits great..

Reviewer Jim Van Wicklin

Overall have bought this shoe both online and in store and the shoe is good. It's great for water activities especially if you prefer the feel and support of a sneaker rather than a water slipper/sock style shoe.

One thing to keep in mind is that it runs a bit big, and there are no half sizes. I would recommend sizing down. For example if you are usually a 10.5/11 then consider getting a 10.

Reviewer David Wickre

Never had vans before, thought I would give them a try. They are very well made and sturdy. The only reason I gave them 4 stars was the first day I wore them I got a blister on the back of my heel from them. Hopefully I can break them in with no more blisters! I really like the shoes so I hope they work out!

Reviewer John R Gray

Highly recommend!!!!!

Reviewer Wicked Fan

My son shattered his ankle last spring and after a long road is finally back to work. I gave these to him to try out as I'm not a huge top fan. He said the fit is perfect. Quality is first rate and amazing comfort. He also said the support these provide was amazing. He is in and out of a delivery can all day and often has to walk up and down several flights of stairs. Even after a long 12 hour shift his feet were (specifically the broken one) not tired or sore. He loves these sneakers. His only complaint was that the white gets dirty very quickly.

Reviewer evidana

These are very nice shoes. They're fancy enough that you could get away with using these in a business casual environment, or taking them out for a quick walk through the city. The canvas is light, well sewn, and put together nicely. The soles appear quite durable. Unfortunately, the laces that come with these could be thrown directly in the garbage. Mine didn't last more than a few hours. Fortunately, this is a quick fix, and is something that is easy to remedy, and cheap too. Worth the price.
