New Balance

[Seul]

Fresh Foam x Hierro V6 to go with my V7s.

[AdamJ]

New Balance x Comme De Garcon, I want!

[Matt]

@AdamJ and they even have your size…

[Seul]

Got these for 49€. I mean...

[Matt]

You had to.

I’ve been eying these two pretty hard…

[Johnnyutah247]

Looking for some opinions on the differences between the MiUK 99V2, the MiUSA993, and the MiUSA 990V6. Mainly interested in the levels of comfort between them, any quality differences. And in person styling compared to online pics.

[AdamJ]

@Johnnyutah247 993 IMO - been eyeing a pair myself

[pechelman]

Any sizing advice for MIUSA 998's if size 10.5 MIUK 576's fit perfect? If it matters I have a narrow ish low volume foot and usually 10 in Nike/vans, 10.5 in adidas, and 9's in dress shoes, Mister Lou, and Nick's.

56kms in two days. Time for some R&R...

@Seul Outstanding!! How are you feeling today?

[Seul]

Bit peckish, perhaps.

@Seul how is the comfort on those fresh foams my little piggy?

[inosaris]

@Megatron1505 how do you find sizing for the v6 in comparison to the v3/993? Have read the v6 runs about a half size larger, has that been your experience?

[Megatron1505]

@inosaris , I’m in the minority with the v6 as I am not a huge fan of them. In terms of fit they feel really long, but not particularly wide.

I’m not a fan as the quality of the outsole rubber is terrible. I’ve had these and the first grey pair (which I sold for cheap), and bit of the rubber just randomly fall off on both pairs after not much wear.

I contacted NB in the UK and they thanked my for my email and would pass my comments on.

[Megatron1505]

Also, the 991v2 is just better looking and more comfortable.

[inosaris]

@Megatron1505 Appreciate the insight and sad to hear about the quality issues on the v6, rubber falling off is alarming. Sounds like that one will be a pass

[Seul]

They do a fantastisc job... They just eat up the miles...

[SKT]

Not a very sexy purchase but got a new pair of 860’s for walking. Super comfortable. @Matt aren’t you an 860 man?

[Matt]

Yup. I like a stability shoe as I need the hard support in the middle. Love the 860. Switched to Hoka for the forefoot rocker since I now have arthritis in my big toe but I’m not sure it’s worth it. Plan on switching back.
