New Balance

@rocket:

finn the price tag vs number was correct when they were original released back in the 80s and even then only for some models, the 577 are normally around 100 Euro or 70 GBP depending where you buy them.

urb check the NB USA site you can get custom made 574s from http://www.shopnewbalance.com/us574

thanks a lot sir

I went to the New Balance store in the city the other day. Had them size me. I'm a 9D in the few pairs I tried on(can't remember which ones). I tried on the 8.5D and it was too tight, 9.5D wasn't too bad just a bit long.

8.5E in Alden Indy TruBalance -US
9E in most Red Wings -US
8.5E in Viberg(can fit 9D) -UK?
8.5D in White's Semi-Dress -US

They're sneakers, Finn… Haven't you worn shoes before or what?..

[rocket]

I  usual go for:

NB US 8.5
adidas: US 8.5
Vans : US 9
Red Wing: US 8
Abbington US 8.5

to name a few

[Seul]

Grenson: 8UK but more like a 7.5 (thick insole)
Tricker's: 8UK but more like a 7.5 (thick insole)
Red Wing chukkas: 7.5UK
Basically all other sneakers in the world: 8UK/ 42 EUR
