hey guys,..other than New Balance, what brands have shoes that are made wider than normal shoes?

Actually New Balance lifestyle shoes are not wide at all. They are medium widths though. Nike air max are quite wide, Jordans as well.

Not all Air Max, bro.......Air Max 95 is damn narrow.......but I think rule of thumb is you have to try for fitting.....its dependent on design......Just like how LBJ is having toecap issue with his own Lebron XI, and he switched back to wearing Lebron X instead.......

Do you guys wear those shoes out or just for "collection".

My opinion is, those sneakers looks nice but then it also looks quite childish.
Unless you are like in your teens and early 20s i'll find it still acceptable but I wouldn't take you seriously if you are in your late 20s and early 30s wearing that.

All right will keep a lookout for those make in US/UK. I personally have a feel of these models at our local retail. Really much rugged than those normal 574/373 series.

Any possibility that NB shoes are made in Vietnam?
Click to expand...

I dont know if theres nb made in vietnam,but if made in vietnam,fake will be a lot lesser than in china made.
But theres nb made in japan & korea,Japan made are those high detail collabs or handmade types......most are only release in japan.

As what odin2ken mention. Ebay dun have fakes one. Cos de sellers are quite reputable de. Check de seller's feedback before commiting lor. Replicas nb tend do be on those made in us/uk models. Those asian made nbs are not worth making replicas de. Haha.

oh ok, thanks, coz i got a pair that is made in vietnam as a gift for my birthday, so dunno is real or fake..
Click to expand...

Some fake nb are made so-look-alike from the outside,but still can see through the fake from the inside.Fake nb can be identify by removing the insole,under the insole area where the shoebox is stitched.Real NB stitches are straight & nice,also no extra material outside the stitches,fake nb stitches sucks big time,big small stitch,not in line etc,can clearly see through it fake...
Also all NB insole can be remove,if u come across any NB with stitched on insole,it fake LOL.
Lastly real NB dont have size 41euro.I think many nb sneakerheads dont even know this.
