I don’t know if any of you have similar experiences but I frequently find myself obsessing over things for little reason other than that they are hard to find or otherwise unobtainable. Probably. I got these after never having heard of the 57/40 model and I’m blown away. Way chunkier than I expected. Heavy and thick in all the right places. I’m in love…

Toe box looks…tall? I love the color combo, but could do without the cordura branding.

Are they comfy?

57/40 have never caught my eye til now, but I really like those. Gonna take a look for some myself, bet they’re super comfortable.

@Matt I dig these…nice pickup

[SKT]

How’s the sizing and are they comfy? Now I’m on the hunt

[jerkules]

@SKT this forum will do that

Very comfortable. Toe box not too tall at all. I got my regular size. I knew you wouldn’t like the branding @sabergirl

If you’re interested check out the ones they have on GOAT. probably more color combos than I’ve seen on any one model.

Some great colorways. Thanks Matt

[Matt]

Some decent prices too. Snipes has a decent selection as well and good sale prices.

I almost got these (I posted them earlier)…

@Matt it was the purple N wasn't it

[Matt]

The sole is purple too.

I like the rain cloud color.

@Matt yeah! Do you have experience with the 580 model? Sizing wise etc

[jerkules]

@Heavy_blue I have a pair of 580s from years ago. Weirdly I have no memory of buying them, receiving them, wearing them for the first time. They are VERY comfortable, and feel about a half size bigger than my recent 574 purchase. But to me they feel true to size, while the 574s feel a tad snug.

[jerkules]

Found them.

I have given these zero consideration when wearing - rain, mud, forest walks. They’ve been through the washing machine quite a few times. I likely got them for very cheap. I didn’t even know they were the 580 model until you’re post above @Heavy_blue .
