My first pair of UK made NB just arrived. Construction is similar to my USA pairs but the suede is even nicer.

@Filthy25ozJunkie:
I think the black suede, raw denim combination turned out pretty swell. I agree with the notion that most NBs are 'ugly as sin'. (See the unpopular opinions thread) But, I think these are pretty sweet looking and the fit is perfect. These also have custom orthodics in them to help my knees and back out a little. I'm definitely happy with them. I just wish the raw denim was ultra -heavy Iron Heart… But the color is actually pretty close to raw IH-25s.
@QuantumMechanic this was them when they were brand new. I really regret having washes them. The heel cup completely deformed and the sole came off. I threw them in the garbage.

Except for the male population hailing from Wankfield or Gitsport…

@Filthy25ozJunkie Too bad they didn't make it through the wash. I've never seen NB like those before, but then I'm not much into NB et al.
Why'd you put them in the wash?

I washed them because they were smelly.

@QuantumMechanic you can custom design a pair here. http://www.newbalance.com/pd/nb1-574/US574-BLANK.html?ICID=NB1WOOL574_NAV_CM_5892#US574/BXB02A29C31,BXB01A29C31,BXB05A02A13,BXB06A02A13,BXB07A32C29,BXB09A02A79,BXB08A02C08,BXB11A02C08,BXB10A32C29,BXB03A29C31,BXB04A03B58,BXB12A19A13,BXB15A05B58,BXB14A08C08,BXB16A07C25,LXB13A08A23,RXB13A08A23/g:undefined/s:undefined/w:undefined/q:1

I just ordered some new shoes. They even come in extra-wide! Ooh baby.
-
They come with a warning that says, "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE REACHED MIDDLE-AGE"

@celik not really the best pictures because it was so sunny, I couldn't see.
But here are some pictures of the new shoes. They are pretty nice. Not really my style. But I will take functionality and comfort over style. They look like dress shoes with an N embossed into the suede. They are at least well-made and I like the veg tanned leather and veg tanned leather insoles. I put my old ones in there as a reference.
If these are comfortable (and they seem to be) I will likely but the navy pair and a backup of these. Because comfortable wide shoes are hard to come by. They are way wider than even the wide sneaker.
-
I have a 930 meeting tomorrow (that I will be wearing them with jeans) and I will let you know.

What is the model#? Do you have a link?

Thanks!

@celik maybe my obnoxious gravity defying stacks don't help. But here you go.
