New Balance # containment thread

[Eric Dolphy]

I finally caved and grabbed some 808s. Half size up from 1010s is perfect. They were a little stiff but put each shoe in the microwave for 25 seconds then straight on foot, doing toe crunches and exaggerated walking around the house. They fit perfect. My feet feel like they have little spaceships on em. Crazy comfy and supportive.
Haven’t had a session in them, just skated around the neighbourhood but just ollieing a puddle yesterday felt great and I’m definitely gonna skate them eventually, but for now they’re perfect chillers for my battered ankles, can walk all day in them

Sorry if this was covered earlier, but how does the 508 fit compared to the 1010 - Is the toebox as wide?

[Mr.Jenkins]

@Rothdigga, please pull some strings and make a CT300 skate version. Thank you.

Must……. Not……… buy

[lildonut92]

If new balance did another run of those Black Tom Knox 440 highs, I would probably buy 10 pairs.

I can’t be the only one that feels this way.

I’ve got a crusty old pair of these which I’ve been ignoring for the past year. One of those pairs of shoes which are worn, but weren’t yet worn enough to throw out. It’s been so dirty and wet that I decided to skate them again, and I’m glad because they are great shoes. Still bummed that the 440 sole - for me - wears faster than any other shoe I regularly skate, but still these are great and I would absolutely buy another pair.

Speaking of 440, that Surrey colorway looks so damn good.

[Hypnotoad]

Actual pic of those brown 440 highs.  Very nice.

[moonordie]

The question is when a slap 440 high colorway with a thicker insole please, please, pleaaaase?

[Deadringer]

Not ideal, but the CONS insole is a perfect fit in these.

Those are things of beauty.

Rewatched St. Paul's the other day and the all whites Tom Knox was wearing look super nice in footage. It's a really comfy shoe, too.

[Deadringer]

Just had mine delivered, they look even better in the flesh.

[devils acrobat]

I am still not a big fan of the 1010 but that colorway is pure fire

I agree. I’m skating the low top version of the same color (black/orange)

[lemonchicken91]

are the 288 Sport true to size?

Been wanting some 1010s but need to try on first

TTS in my experience.
Btw can we have longer laces on the 808 please?

Yeah this, I’ve had to swap mine out just to deal with this issue.

[lildonut92]

Just had a pair of 508 and 440 lows delivered yesterday (Ordered both from a skate shop). My size is always hard to find at locals.

Really digging the way these 508’s fit. Very comfortable. The feel better on my feet than the 440, honestly. Went half size down on the 508 and tts on the 440. If the 508 skates as good as it feels then it’ll probably become my go-to. NB#, please don’t discontinue them! Haha

508s are crazy comfortable. I got them to skate and was so comfy I wore them since last summer and finally had a second session on them yesterday.  Trying to get used to the cup so I can’t make a comment on how they skate.

[Thebird]

Is the toebox in the 508 as wide as the 440?

[eSK3]

Is the toebox in the 508 as wide as the 440?

Bit more narrow and closer to the top of your foot.

Thats what I needed to hear.  Thank you.

[bumpnrun]

Can anyone comment on 212 and 272 width and sizing. TTS? I'd like a wider toe box shoe.

[Candied cigarettes]

Yeah, the 212s definitely have a wide toe box and a wider mid foot which i like. I think they fit tts, but I’m not sure if my feet are actually “true” tp size so I can’t provide good information on that aspect

[MOE SYZLAK]

1/2 size up on the 808s?
Or TTS?

[hobochimp]

Anyone know if there’s plans for like an all white 1010? Maybe similar color way to the jake Darwen 440 hi? Just putting that out there. Would be my only shoe for a while if it happened

[Sundaynuggets]

Half size up. I usually wear a 10 and 10.5 are perfect in 808 whereas the size 10 work but are slightly cramped

[streetmeat]

i’ll take 5 pairs
