Memory foam makes Concept 3 shoes most comfortable I own
Reviewer Margaret Garone
These are as snappy and well-made as Vans for half the price. I've worn boating slip-ons since I was a little kid, and these are as good or better than most of the brand-name leaders. Very satisfied, will buy again once I wear these out.

The first time I saw the "Backpack" line of shoes from New Balance, I knew that I'd one day be adding a pair to my collections of 574's. Nylon uppers just seems like a fantastic idea, since nylon is so easy to clean and keep clean. I liked the idea of being able to get them dirty, knowing that they'll clean up better then other 574's. Because of this, I might even wear them when I normally wouldn't want to get my shoes dirty.
I haven't had them long enough to make that decision, or know exactly how well they'll clean up, but there is something else different about them that immediately caught my attention. Ever since New Balance changed the manufacturing process for the 574's, I think they've been smaller and less comfortable then versions before that time. I just purchased another pair of 574's a couple of weeks back and noticed this immediately when putting them on, as I always do with a new pair of 574's nowadays.
This pair, however, feels more like the older 574's, because they're so comfortable. My first thought was that maybe they made them like the old ones, but after comparing them to numerous other pairs I have, both old and new, I don't think that's it. The soles still match the newer version (i.e. they're more narrow), but still, I'm pretty sure they have more toe room in the uppers, because they both look and feel as if they do.
I've been a little disappointed with every pair I've purchased, since they changed the manufacturing process, because they're just not as comfortable as they used to be. For whatever reason, these, however, seem closer to what I remember a new pair feeling like and that has me really happy. They are very comfortable shoes.

Can never go wrong with black Chucks! Will always be my favorite shoe. I've been wearing these for decades.

This is my second pair. These shoes are really comfortable and they held up for 2 years.

I bought these for my husband as he has problems with his feet standing on cement all day . He is quite happy with them and recommends them for everyone..
Reviewer C J Mclaughlin
Very comptarble shoes. Very good material. Excellent to use for long walks and or good for standing for a long time.

I have the “Black Nappa” color.
These are very stylish shoes. A little “fancier” than other such sneakers. But they are not really lightweight. They weigh about a pound each.
The sole is rubber, which is 1 of the reasons the shoe is as heavy as it is. Nice tread on the bottom.
The footbed has nice padding, but as it shows on the listing it is “dense”. Another words it is fairly firm padding. There is slight arch support. Almost nonexistent. There is some padding around the ankle.
I think of the shoes more as casual shoes and certainly not a sports shoe. But they look really great, and I like them a lot.

It is difficult to find white, leather mens all purpose cross training shoes good for walking, etc. these Swiss made shoes are excellent! They are fairly light weight, great looking, true to size, very comfortable, and super well made. The seams are double sown and frankly I bought them for my husband after trying several other American brands that were way more expensive and we highly recommend these over them.
Well worth the price!
