New Balance shoes

Post by Rollo Tomassi »

has changed the model I have worn for 15 years or more.
Thought I'd get a new pair today as mine have a smidge of wear.
And they have CHANGED THE MODEL!
The old mx608v2 model walked GREAT!
The NEW mx608v5 heel sticks out farther so each step is a clown shoe slap slap slap !

NOTHING NEW IS ANY FUGGING GOOD !!!!

Any objective examination of the effect of "them" has to lead you to the behavior and ideology that is now termed, "racist."

Refute if you can.

I have a pair of worn out Crocs that would be perfect for you.
Try to walk in the wet grass before hitting the concrete. They work better that way

My podiatrist was really pushing New Balance shoes so I bought a pair. They're okay but not nearly as comfortable as my camo Crocs which I wear all the time. Not very stylish but I don't GAF. It's all about comfort and Crocs are the most comfortable shoes ever made. :cool:

This is a legit whine, for once. NB used to be comfy as fuddernutter, but all of these shoes are made like cheap crap now.

Are Crocs OK with FLAT feet? I mean my arch is reversed. I could be a rocking horse with these goddam feet.
The army had to build special combat boots for me.

AND

In the army, they asked how I didn't get 4 F'ed for those.
When they found out it was a NATIONAL GUARD physical, they said ..oh.

I cudda got OUT of that goddam hilly sandduney damn Fort Ord that is ALL UPHILL !!!

Actually, I am glad I was in. :oops:

I honestly don't recommend them. If they get a little worn and wet you will break a leg or hip.

I have flat feet and my crocs work great for me. They're fairly cheap so I'd give them a try. I've never noticed mine being slippery but it never hurts to be careful when walking especially if you're an old guy like me.

I've taken to buying 3-4 pairs when I get one that fits right, and feels good.
4E feet are hard to find good comfy shoes in.

My 4E has shrunk a bit with my weight loss, but an old football coach once remarked that I was seldom ever knocked off my feet
because they looked like a platypus feet. Henceforth my nickname was platy. :mad:

Yep. I've used wideshoes a couple of times.
My feet, when I went INTO the Army, were 8 1/2. Normal width. Nothing special except flatfooted.
I got OUT of the Army, and they were 10 1/2 wide. Kept playing basketball for fun. Now 11 1/2 4E ..... sucks trying to find stuff last minute or where you can try them on.

The way he's always tripping and falling, he must be wearing out-of-balance shoes. :lol:
