@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.

I washed them because they were smelly.

@Filthy These are actually pretty sweet

They come with a warning that says, "CONGRATULATIONS! YOU HAVE REACHED MIDDLE-AGE"

Haha, sounds about right.

@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.

@Filthy I was going to ask you about width and I'm glad to hear that they are nice and wide. Thanks for the pics, I actually like the way the look a lot and considering scooping up a pair. Since they look like a dress shoe I'd be curious to see what they'd look like with jeans.

Filthy2123ozjunkie

I have a 930 meeting tomorrow (that I will be wearing them with jeans) and I will let you know.

Thanks!

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

Filthy2123ozjunkie

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

celik

@Filthy They look great. Did you end up going with the Wide option or standard?

Wide. And the x-wide is a 4E width FYI.
