Thoughts?

Just got my first pair of 1906r and they are awesome. I particularly like the ALD models. Go for it.

Just ordered a pair. Stoked.

[Matt]

@Heavy_blue Did you get those?

[A Former User]

@Matt if you talk about those ALD’s they are dropping 5th of may! Will try to grab

[Matt]

[A Former User]

@Matt you gonna grab a pair?

[Matt]

I don’t think so. I really like the Protection Pack models so I might grab a pair of those. Really like the 1906r I just got though. I want another pair. We have a NB store in town so I think I’ll check it out tomorrow. See what’s up.

Toe box is a little tight/low but I think I can make it work.

[Matt]

How did you size them? I mean in comparison to other shoes u own.

[Oaktavia]

@Matt same as my others...they feel like the fit but I bet half a size up would be ideal. I already wore them around so I can't return them. I was wearing thick Duluth socks so I'll try dress socks today.

@Oaktavia i had the exact same feeling about my 574s I recently got. I was surprised as all the advice I read said to stay with your vans/chucks size, but the 574s felt tight and low around the toe box. Worn them quite a lot and they feel much better now, I think the inner sole moulds a little so your feet eventually sit a little lower in the shoe.
That said, if I bought another pair id probably size up half a size for comfort.

I also think the murdered out pair look great, and I like that the suede has a blueish-green tinge. Looks good with the OD denim

@jerkules

@Oaktavia I’m with you guys. My normal 10.5 is tight in these. It’s funny because my 991v1’s in a 10.5 are a bit too big…so some sizing inconsistencies here.

Those blackouts are killer man.
