Memory foam makes Concept 3 shoes most comfortable I own
Reviewer Mousy26
I haven’t worn these much yet, but seem comfortable, the right size and good cushioning. Time will tell.

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.

Only drawback was its mesh. Mesh material is not strong and tears from the middle where the feet folds while moving. Otherwise a great comfortable shoe.
Reviewer Marissa Bragg
These are a gift for my son. I just know he is going to go crazy when he opens them Christmas morning. He has the red and white pairs of these exact shoes, they are his absolute favorite.
Reviewer Doris D Brown
Great shoes for mild winter and spring. Look great and waterproof
Reviewer Las Gayle
These are my third straight pair. Seems like they aren't as comfortable as the former two, but still good overall. Maybe just my own getting older makes them not seem as comfortable. We'll see if they are constructed as well as the former pairs which lasted me many years each.

For 20$ these are a steal. They're decent plain white kicks that go with anything. Clearly not the highest quality but if they last 6 months I'll be happy.
Reviewer G L Knight
Fine shoes, after wearing for a few days (will update later if problems arise). I wear orthotic insoles and the insoles that come with these sneakers are easy to remove and replace.
Reviewer Jo Ann Diaz
My son age 14, loves these. They fit well, AND YOU CAN PULL THEM ON WITHOUT MESSING WITH THE SHOE LACES. this means you can double tie them, and they do not become undone on you in the middle of the school day.
And they look really nice.
