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…

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?

@veloaudio here you go, sir https://www.newbalance.com/pd/1100/MD1100-L.html

Thanks!

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

Oh and these are a 10/10 for wideness and comfort. They feel amazing.
