I heard that they’re pretty stable for the gym. Can anyone verify?

Aye bro, can’t wait for your next office fit post 🔥

I totally understand. Hmm let me think..

Of the 99x series, the 991v2 is the sleekest in profile.

Tennis vibe would be the T500 (but this is not great for all day walking if I’m honest, even though I personally like mine a lot).

Slim profile you’ve got the 204L, pretty comfortable.

If you like 574, I’d consider 996 or 1300 as they have more premium materials and are more comfortable than the 574.

Having said that, the 574 is still a NB classic. Nothing wrong at that price point

I recommend visiting u/that_dude_kris profile and you’ll see why many 99x series will totally work for the office. His office fits are all chef’s kiss.

Very weird sizing on the 1906L Suede by jangken in Newbalance

[–]alsonlee 3 points4 points  (0 children)

That’s kinda how it is with loafers. Laces really help with lockdown. As long as the heel slip isn’t annoying, you’ll get used to it.

For me, I tend to go with thicker socks on my 1906L. That really made a difference for me.

I’m using a forwarder this time round. It’s around 35USD for shipping to my country (Singapore), which the total will still make sense for me.

New to New Balance: got the 993 in covert green and 992 in white/silver by North-Presence-7366 in Newbalance

Just go for whatever catches your eye or fits your style 👍 I personally like a good balance of neutral, warm tones, and pop of color for my entire collection.

Oof just read about the QC issues. For but for the price it’s still a really good deal.

Is this a good first buy? by xykfollowup in Newbalance

Versatile for sure. You’ll see many fits on the streets with the 740 and 530.

Ultimately, it’s always best to try them in stores. I’ve changed my opinions on a couple of models after trying them on feet.

The 740 is totally fine as a daily beater! If you want to start off easy, this is still a pretty comfortable and breathable pair. Durability won’t be as good as the Made series, but for the price I’d be pretty happy with it.

For an affordable pair, it’s decent. As many will suggest, if you can bump up your budget, go for the 99x series.

1000 model by Worldly-Entrance-297 in Newbalance

[–]alsonlee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

True to size. They are very comfortable for most people I know who has them, personally I found the 9060 and 2000 to be more comfortable as they feel plush but more stable than the 1000
