Gave in and purchased NB 990v3's.
Goddamn they are comfy.
Shits cost more than my goodyear welted dress shoes.
I hope to wear the shit out of the NB's and walk at least 1000 miles.
My wife don't know about the purchase. I'll see her tomorrow, as I return from business trip with the NB's on. Good luck to me explaining out of the splurge.
Two weeks of walking in the 990v3's and I'm in heaven.
Thanks for all the support PALS.
This will sound silly, but my knees feel better.
I even convinced my wife to try them, and she agreed on comfort, but for her these look too much like those middle school running shoes. Too much materials and panelling for her.
Thereby a question - what else could come close in comfort - but with subtle design?
