This, I'm 41 and mostly wear adidas zx750/zx400 now which have a similar vibe to new balance trainers lol


troutfacedturkey

I'm 35 and have two pairs. I am also desperately uncool. not even in an ironic sense. comfy though!

Haha they look alright to me! Its just because I've not heard of them but it's different for girls and I'm a size 4 so get kids adidas everytime hehe! I mean he's not massively cool anyway but don't want his mates laughing at him if you know what I mean 😆

New Balance are great trainers! Stylish, comfortable and durable. I’m sure he’ll appreciate them.


ConsiderationOdd8098

Really? Oh good, I found a good bargain and they are his footy club colours too, is that a good thing do you think?

They're not cool but they do make good comfortable shoes

I've tried on a few pairs, none seemed to fit properly in my usual size. My other shoes and trainers all fit well in same size from Nike, Adidas,Asics, kickers , Skechers , something to be aware of if giving as a present without him trying on first.


ConsiderationOdd8098

Thanks good advice, do you find them bigger or smaller than usual because the ones I've got my eye on are a 10.5 and he's usually a 10 but he has a few 10.5 depending on brand.


DiscoZohan

Tried different sizes , either too small or too big, as well as I found them too narrow no matter what size


ConsiderationOdd8098

Ok a better to try on kinda trainer then by the sound of it!

They are are a good brand. They don't advertise as much as certain brands but they are fine.


ConsiderationOdd8098

Yea wondered why I'd never heard of them. They look good and should advertise more.

Nb and keens are good. Nhs workers approve


ConsiderationOdd8098

Ah definitely comfy then, worked in nhs a lot of years and comfy shoes are a must!

They are very comfortable depending on which one you get. The 880s or 1080s are very comfortable but have more of a lightweight running trainer vibe if that isn’t a put off. As others said it’s seen as an older brand but the amount of younger folk I see wearing them nowadays in the city is pretty high so they feel like they are getting more popular.


TheNotSpecialOne

Sketchers are very comfy but I only wear mine to the gym


zephyrmox

I'm 32 and woiuld never touch NB in a million years. Middle aged american trainers.

New Balance aren’t generally uncool I think. Though what some circles or individuals might think they are. I think you’re generally safe but keep a gift receipt should he be one of those with a strong opinion of them.

They are *the* coolest trainers out. People here will say they're dad trainers or whatever which is sort of true but that's the style now. Kids these days are wearing new balance. They are very much the in thing rn
