in other NB news, the 990v6 should be coming out soon. it's definitely better than the 990v5 which was straight up the ugliest 990 ever (and not even in the cool way that 990s are known for)... but i'll need to see some in the wild before i fully make up my mind. 990v3 still my favorite so far.

those are beautiful. as someone stated above, asics gel lytes are a great shoe to chill in also and are pleasing to look down at

the truth. I have had 2 pairs of asic gel lyte V's over the years. most comfortable shoe I have ever owned. I have been trying to pick some up over the last year but it seems like they're not in production right now smdh

Do they run narrow? I only had one pair of ASICS and they were too narrow for my feet. That’s a big part of the appeal for Me with NBs— they’re pretty darn wide

[Huell Howser]

@mj23 my only experience with new balances were a secondhand pair of 574's I picked up randomly a long time ago so it has been a while. in memory, I wanna say the asics were very similar but 1000x more comfy. highly recommended

990v3 most definitely the best.  I appreciate your distinguished taste in 990s

[apport]

i think the 990v6 is probably the worst iteration yet, after the v5 (really after the v2, but y’all aint ready for that conversation), though the v5 is a fine shoe in my opinion. that’s the first pic i’ve seen of the v6 that makes them look wearable, i still think the sole is too big, like they tried to make it too trendy looking like a yeezy wave runner or something.

my 990 rankings:
1. 990v3
2. 990v4
3. 990v1
4. 990v5
5. 990v2

Now we’re cooking with gas

Here’s my take:

V1 almost don’t even count they look so different.
V2 is some sort of cartoon shoe. Love it or hate it.
V3 is almost perfection.
V4 is fucking with something that didn’t really need to be fixed, but it’s ok I guess.
V5 is straight up fugly
V6 idk yet but I like them more as I look at them closer

Am I the only person who prefers Saucony 5000/6000 for chilling? Haven’t tried ASICS though so maybe a gel lyte iii should be in my future.

i haven’t tried those yet. a friend of mine has some and he loves em so i may have to try em out. his look like a cupsole and seem like they’d skate pretty well too

i should add that idk if his are the particular model you’re referring to, just know he has some that look like skate shoes and are comfy

[Huell Howser]

@Big Baby Jesus i really like the silohuette of that saucony 5000. I might have to pick up a pair. I would be worried about them matching the comfort of the gel lytes tho haha

[lydius]

idk about the the Gel-Lyte but the Nimbus are definitely some of the comfiest shoes I've put on

[IUTSM]

I don't like wearing shoes and only do if its necessary.

I feel like my brain got gelled in this thread. Can't get this time back.

Gel Lyte III are nice. So cozy. Highly recommend them. Some people don't like the integral/split tongue design though.

Probably the best thing about working from home is that I basically never wear shoes anymore. It’s Crocs, Birks, skate shoes if I’m skating, but mostly it’s me spending 24/7 shoeless.

I work from home now and spend my day trying on all my different shoes and then putting them back while I am on conference calls and the like. But mostly I just keep a pair of Vans Slips close by if I need to duck out and get lunch or take a foster cat in for a check up or something.

[Sterilizeurslf]

It looks like Andrew and Eric are sitting down(next to some skateboards) during a Skateboarding session. Andrew has those shoes completely on his feet with the shoes literally inches away from the Skateboard in the picture. Yes, Andrew Reynolds is on #NB.
I made it official. You will thank me and bow.

i must have had the worst pair of gel lyte 3s then, their sole was rock hard, the insole was trash too. i didn't pay anything for them, but i was still disappointed. that was 2016. some hot colorway back then, too. hand me down from a buddy/coworker who ran a sneaker store at the time. i still have them and try them again every once in a while, and i always have to take them off after 5 minutes because they are so uncomfy. they also feel like platform shoes. like i'm standing on a fat wedge of rubber.

i love saucony tho, they just don't last long. but every pair i've had was super comfy.

nb trainers have been good to me as well.

[lemonchicken91]

I had a pair of Gel Sagas that are similar to my Gel Lyte 3s.

The sagas were way sturdier and had the best arch and rolled bottom

The 3s are ok, very soft and light but not as supportive

hard to find sagas anymore

Give them a try again, maybe a half size larger. They're my favorite shoe of all time. Super comfortable for people with high arches like myself, come in tons of colors, and I really like the no tongue thing. You never have to dig your tongue out when it slips down to the side. There's also the IVs and the Vs which are a little different and might be more to your liking.

i don't know, i don't think the size is the issue with mine. they feel fine. i guess my main problem with them is that they sort of feel unstable. they are definitely a real pair. it was a pair that got refunded cause of some cosmetic issue and a petty customer. some stain they didn't see at first, which i have easily cleaned out myself. i tried a different insole as well. i just don't feel like my foot sits well in them. for some reason my heel feels super elevated. maybe my feet just aren't made  for these shoes. they look great tho and they seem super well made.

EDIT:

since you mentioned high arches, i have no flat feet, but not really a high arch either, and that was something i noticed and was cool at first, but the high arch support felt fatiguing when i wore them at work after a while, like it put too much pressure on my arch. this is weird, because usually at work i like some more arch support, whereas i don't really like high arched insoles when walking. totally flat isn't really comfy as well. so maybe their arch is a tad too high for me. that insole is pretty thin, so not sure how i could take some off..

[augustmoon]

the Gel Lyte 3s are my go to.  I've had so many pairs.  Check the Asics sale section on their site, they always have tons for really good prices. 

[Owen]

I picked up a pair of the Westgate 508's on sale. I haven't skated in them yet but they are some of the comfiest shoes fresh out of the box I've had in years
