I like the first ones…

I vote numero dos. I got the USA 996 in that colorway.

Oooh. Drama.

[Matt]

I like the red tab but I also like the hairy suede.

[Brian]

2nd pair give the appearance of more texture

[SKT]

@Matt hairy suede for the win

[goosehd]

@Matt Still deciding or made a decision?

@SKT i made an offer on the red tabs to see if I could get a decent deal. They’re on Grailed. They come with red laces and that swayed me. I may still get the Grey Days. That hairy suede is tits.

@goosehd those are really hard to find at a decent price in my size. I’ve been looking for a couple of weeks actually.

[goosehd]

@Matt I was a little shocked (mucho) at the price when I looked them up for that photo.

[goosehd]

...but they are fuzzy!

[SKT]

@Matt the red laces would look good on those…I’m down. Update if you snag em

[Matt]

You know it.

[Matt]

@goosehd yeah, me too. It’s the Rain Cloud colourway. I like the lighter grey overlays and the blue in the midsole. I don’t like the price.

[Matt]

I don’t know if any of you have similar experiences but I frequently find myself obsessing over things for little reason other than that they are hard to find or otherwise unobtainable. Probably. I got these after never having heard of the 57/40 model and I’m blown away. Way chunkier than I expected. Heavy and thick in all the right places. I’m in love…

Toe box looks…tall? I love the color combo, but could do without the cordura branding.

Are they comfy?

[jerkules]

57/40 have never caught my eye til now, but I really like those. Gonna take a look for some myself, bet they’re super comfortable.

[SKT]

@Matt I dig these…nice pickup

[SKT]

How’s the sizing and are they comfy? Now I’m on the hunt

[jerkules]

@SKT this forum will do that
