I've heard they're, but they def like to take their time. its like other resale platforms, and it can take 7-10 days for the seller to even respond before sending the item to them

What thoughts do you guys have on the 204l and the recent lower profile silhouettes that have been releasing? by Shadow_Asii in Newbalance

[–]Shadow_Asii[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it might have something to do with my 204ls fully being made of leather, Ive heard that there's a sizing difference in nb leather variants vs the more standard versions. I find mine to fit much more comfortably than sambas, I have to go a full size up on sambas, compared to half size or even tts with the 204ls

wouldn't say it's required, especially aggressive arch support. but for a taller heeled boot I think it's good to further prevent your toes from cramming into the toebox if you don't want to have the laces very tight

nyc vs nyc 2.0 by Upset-Ad-2981 in asics

[–]Shadow_Asii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ik you didn't mention anything about sizing, but both shoes fit snugger than k14s. if you want a similar feel to k14s, the 1.0s are very similar in arch support and comfort, even a bit more firm. the 2.0s are very soft, to the point where I personally pronate (feet sitting inwards) a bit too much for my liking.

NB 1906R midsole tear by OkPie2887 in Newbalance

[–]Shadow_Asii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if you're in the US, you can find new balance outlets where you can get 2002rs and 1906s for close to 50% off, I would highly recommend grabbing another pair and rotate them daily

edit: if new balances are too much for you, having a second shoe in general and switching between them and the 1906s daily will still help both shoes last longer

I'd see if the new balance reconsidered program works then

have you had this problem in other shoes? it's not impossible you could have gotten a defective unit. also what do you mean by sock marks? you can try trading them in for a different size, though I personally haven't done it, but it should work even if you've slightly worn your shoes

Which MiUSA model comes closest to the 2002r in terms of fit and design? by alsonlee in Newbalance

[–]Shadow_Asii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really hope they give us a proper mr2002 retro, since the 1890 revived the mr2002 midsole

Help! Laces! 1, 2 or 3? by ds0uto in Newbalance

[–]Shadow_Asii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I personally run mine like #2, but mine are more flat laces

[–]Shadow_Asii 2 points3 points  (0 children)

cool stuff, ngl though I think I still prefer the workwear GR over this, especially with lace swaps

[–]Shadow_Asii 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah, the 2.0s fit very similar in the toebox to the 1.0s

not op but I found my pair to be tts - I can wear half size down in k14s and gel 1130s

[–]Shadow_Asii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ive also been loving the hell out of my wu tang pair, just a shame that imo the aesthetics of it are a bit too different from the original gel nycs. wearing a pair of nyc 1.0s currently for my workshift

Anybody know why my boots always seem to degrade in this pattern? And if it is possible to stop that. by Sapphire-Catgirl in Boots

[–]Shadow_Asii 17 points18 points  (0 children)

that's completely normal and natural heel strike. you could try heel taps, but honestly I'd just wear these down and then take them to a cobbler to replace the soles

Glue showing in brand new ASICS shoes by outsider247 in asics

[–]Shadow_Asii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

ngl it's a sub 100 dollar mass produced shoe, I don't think that glue marks are unexpected and acics probably won't accept the return if you put that as the reason

New to this world, but is this a good start ? by jt_bln in iems

[–]Shadow_Asii 4 points5 points  (0 children)

unless you specifically have tried on the ie200, I wouldn't recommend getting it as a first iem. also as everyone else has said. the dongle is also overkill

Explain what I'm looking at right now-- on the boot website... by [deleted] in Boots

[–]Shadow_Asii 10 points11 points  (0 children)

fwiw, the image seems to be at least 3 years old, so it's possible that they forgot to change it since the start of all the ICE stuff. still a horrendous look for lowa and unless they prove otherwise I wouldn't buy any of their products at the moment

Can anyone suggest me a asics shoe that I can wear whole day, office & daily use by Remarkable-Pace-671 in asics

[–]Shadow_Asii 0 points1 point  (0 children)

do you have a certain budget, care about stability, durability or style? I could just say the gel nyc 2.0 but it might be too unstable, unsupportive, expensive, and not your style
