Very comfortable and nice looking shoes. Laces are good and don't come undone without tying a double bow. Soft leather uppers.

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.

Love these shoes! I bought them for my husband, they look so sharp. Would love to get another pair in grey.

If you’re looking for lightweight shoes. . . These are not for you. They have a weight of 13.33oz each. The heavier weight is due to the fact that the sole is rubber, and not plastic. The sole is certainly non-skid. There is nice padding on the footbed, and “reasonable” arch support. Unfortunately, there is very little padding around the ankle area. But the overall construction is fine.
I hate it when a listing, such as this, shows “Made in the USA or imported”. Believe me. . .Very few shoes are Made in the USA. . .. These. . . Like soooooooooooo many others. . . are Made in China. At the current price of 100 bucks, they are at least 75 bucks overpriced. But you’re paying a high surcharge for the brand name. Granted, these shoes are much better than the super cheap Chinese shoes you will find on Amazon being sold by Chinese companies.

These were great shoes before KSwiss replaced the comfortable contoured insoles with the flat memory foam insoles. I removed the memory foam insoles and replaced these with Walk Hero Plantar Faciitis insoles. With the high arch, these insoles restore the comfort of the shoes, and eliminate the need for additional costly orthotics.

They are super comfortable for my sore feet.

My husband loves this sneaker. What a relief as he is the most difficult guy when it comes to buying shoes. According to him, they never fit right. These sneakers look very nice right of the box. The insole is memory foam, so they are very comfy.
