New Balance

[SKT]

Very nice

[Matt]

They really are. Any new pairs you’d like to show off?

[SKT]

Ha…not yet. Have offers out on the grey days but no bites. Trying to stay patient

I have never worn a pair of New Balance before and have worn ASICS for the past 35 years. Just picked up these, but you guys are seriously selling me on the NB’s. What should I look for when shopping for them?

[Matt]

In my experience the fit true to size. Made n USA and UK are great, but honestly they all are. I run in them as well. One of the few brands known for consistently selling wide versions if that suits you. I’ve also had quite a few pairs of trail runners and those are excellent as well.

I ended up purchasing a pair of Made in USA 998 from Nice Kicks (anyone have any experience with these guys?). My buddy bought a pair of 990 v5 and showed me the difference between the made in USA line and the others. I was sold immediately and was almost happy the 574 didn't fit right.

I couldn't make the 574s work...DM me.

[Matt]

Excellent choice.

@Matt said in New Balance:

Excellent choice.

Thanks man, I'm really looking forward to them. I went a size up from my 574s which I know are a different shoe but I still feel I should have gone with a 12 instead of an 11. I have gone back and forth between the two most of my grown up life. The 998 look super comfortable, do yo you have a pair?

[Matt]

I don’t think so. Got the v4 990s m the Grey Day color and love them. All my NBs have been 10s and the fit has been right on. 10 is my standard sneaker size. I typically go down 1/2 for boots and Chucks and up 1/2 for Nikes.

Todays weapon of choice were these 990 V2...

@Mr-Eddy beauties

[mikebarhoot]

really like the MiUSA pr’s i have. blues have ~3 years of daily walking in them. blacks more for ‘dress’ sneakers. also have a pr of PF Fliers from when NB owned/made their US models but dont care for them as much.

[mikebarhoot]

and yeah… busted the black laces 2nd day i had them and so switched them out for sme spares i already had…‍️

[Mr Eddy]

@mikebarhoot these V5 in black are so nice

[Mr Eddy]

@Matt thanks for leading the way in the NB department i’m very happy with mine!

[A Former User]

@jerkules did you get a pair as well? On those 57/40?

[jerkules]

@Heavy_blue afraid not, but will. Just grabbed another 14oz Merz and I’m supposed to be saving up for an anniversary gift for my wife. Need to stop acting like I’ve got spare cash!

Grey Day…
