I normally wouldn't consider a synthetic leather shoe, because I'd never seen any that weren't awful in nearly every way possible. The only reason I considered these is because I needed shoes that fit very particular criteria and one of them was that they're synthetic. So I ordered a pair to evaluate them and the verdict is very positive.
It's not real leather, but it's close. It actually reminds me of cheap leather shoes, but without all the creasing (like comfortable Reeboks, which used loose leather for comfort). The rubber sole seems comfortable and the synthetic lining looks like it'll be easy to keep clean. It has average arch support and the insole is stuck in place, but it does offer good cushioning.
I ordered my normal sneaker size and it fits great, so I'd say the sizing is perfect (I wear a a half size larger in New Balance and sometimes with Nike). The laces are a little long, but just a little and they're nice laces.
Overall, they're nice shoes. No, they're not real leather and I didn't judge them as if they were. But there are some advantages with synthetic leather shoes and these will work great for those who understand they're not leather.

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.

My husband's absolute favorite hiking/urban shoe -- he has 4 pairs and if they ever wear out, my guess is he'll buy more.
Reviewer Patrick Ruffini
New Balance makes such nice and affordable shoes. The material does get dirty easily and is hard to clean unless you have the "show cleaners." Pretty sure people can find a crafty way to DIY clean these without having to buy a shoe cleaner, I just have not taken the time to see for myself.

These are great for narrow feet. My husband has trouble getting shoes that aren’t too wide and puma and adidas fit him well.
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.
Reviewer Eliza Bowman
Surprised that I like these steel toed shoes. I work on concrete floors and my feet never hurt at the end of the day and I don't feel the steel toes.

This is my husband’s second pair. He’s on his feet teaching and these help his pad his feet.

Cute. I wear 8.5, bought an 8.5, and it fits perfectly
Reviewer Harvey Frenkiel
My hubby wore the Vibram 5 toe shoes for years but I didn't like the fact of no support so switched to the Skeletoes. Keep in mind all you switchovers that these are 4 toes; the last two fit together. But hubby really likes them, the price is way better than Vibram and he wears them all day and his back no longer hurts. He still wears the Vibrams for scuba-diving....me too. I did buy him a pair of the cushioned sole Vibrams but he didn't like the lace up style and didn't have velcro version (still don't know if they do). But these Skeletoes are amazing for him and I'm glad he's finally getting the support he needs as he's on his feet all day long. Great product and great price.
