Air Jordan 4 Retro "Taupe Haze"

Reviewer Helen Ansell

Great price, great fit. Prompt delivery. Thank you.

Reviewer Ruby G

I love these shoes. They fit great and they look good too. I have a narrow foot, so I can't tell you if they are tight. I have never put a pair of shoes and thought they were too narrow. I will probally buy another pair of a different color.

Reviewer Angel Boo

These are just perfect. I will buy these again.

Reviewer Carmel Finley

they are a bit on the narrow side. I ordered a half size up knowing this...and that helps. My foot is about a D/E width. Any wider of a foot than that and you will be unhappy.

Reviewer Cinda K Graham

Nice, comfortable shoe like most Skechers. Arrived in days.

The shoes are really nice, the only bad thing (that’s why just 4 stars) is that it said “leather” and that’s why I bought them but are fabric. They are nice but will get dirty quickly, I was looking for leather shoes and not just leather shoelaces

This shoe suited me well for 3 month with fairly use. I used this shoes 10 hours per week and it served me well. The rubber sole really helped me from slipping in the kitchen area with wet surface. Nothing has been torn yet. I'm expecting this shoe will last me for a good 8 months.

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.

Very nice sneakers, color is vibrant and are the current fashion. My only complaint is they run a little large, I should have gotten a half size smaller.

Reviewer Kurt Frey

These are the best sneakers I have ever purchased. Well worth the price. The support is perfect, my feet have not felt this good in years.
