those hiking 710s usually dont sell as well, partly because they are mainly made in asian factories

some even have goretex lining and you can get them at a clearance price if patient enough

UK and US models tend to use more nubuck which looks more refined than suede

asian NBs like those full leather 574 their leather uppers are a dead giveaway, looks very synthetic and plasticky compared to the UK ones.

suede used however, probably about the same. can compare the US 996 and the coming soon asian 996 Revlite

I was thinking to get the new 996 or 1300,either 1.They both looks very nice....

Hi people! Looking to buy a pair of brown chukkas/ desert boots. Budget is 150 but flexible. Any good value and quality brands to recommend? Also the places to buy them. Thanks in advance!

How is NB compared to Onitsuka Tiger shoes?

In terms of what?

Design or price or quality?

How is NB compared to Onitsuka Tiger shoes?

Fitting-wise, NB is a bit wider, the sole is thicker and feet entry is bigger, so skinny jeans might not look so nice with it.

price-wise, NB is cheaper in general

design, I think both about the same, maybe depends on the person, unless you are looking for shiny or bright colours then OT has more of them.

quality, can say NB because the sole is thicker? but both shoes have to improve on their sole grooves, because once worn off, no matter how thick the sole is, it will slip. both brands have similar sole material.

In terms of comfortability.

Are NB shoes comfortable to wear?

Hmmmm.... MIC, MIV MIE, MIJ does not really matters to me as long as it's not too ex and I like the design. I won't be paying so much for a pair of sneakers knowing that I won't be wearing for more than 1-2 year. Rather spend it on a pair of Grenson

guess it's individual.
