  11. The older I get, the less I am concerned that I am always sartorial correct. But the one thing I find to be most important is that I have very comfortable shoes. And if wearing NB shoes with a suit makes you feel good, I say go for it.

  18. Still wishing for a “LIKE” button, because these shoes deserve one.

    Comment by The Magnificent Purple Walnut Tuesday, Apr 30, 19 @ 3:17 pm

  28. As OneMan says the shoes for big guys–I wear them. Even more than that they have extra wide sizes which are helpful for those of us with EEEE width feet.

    I’m telling the Pritzker people–hire me to be a body double, I even have the New Balance.
