@Filthy:

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.

What is the model#? Do you have a link?

[veloaudio]

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.

@celik @veloaudio fyi I am going to go out on a limb and say these are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned.

[Dstauffer]

@Filthy I love the style of those…I am not really feeling strongly about any of the colorways, possibly the tan.

After a couple years, I finally got my hands on a pair of these New Balance x Danner Collabs and I love them.

here's a stock photo as they are not on my feet at the moment.

Sweet. @Dstauffer

New Balance 990v2 Marbleheads vs First day with my Anniversary 634’s ‍️

I’m really digging these 1906s but I’m torn. The first pair is a collab with a UK sneaker shop and would be a bit pricey to get in the after market as the shop does not seem to ship to the US. Obviously this moves them to the top of the list…

@Matt if you only knew someone who lived in the UK and could act as a proxy…

[Matt]

I thought of that…
