Everything is nicer from the UK [emoji6]

Except for the male population hailing from Wankfield or Gitsport…

@Filthy25ozJunkie Too bad they didn't make it through the wash. I've never seen NB like those before, but then I'm not much into NB et al.

Why'd you put them in the wash?

@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.

Filthy2123ozjunkie

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

@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.
