I have the opportunity to get my self a pair of New Balance boots at half price. If I do decide to get them it'd be the 4030. I will be getting them online however, so won't be able to try them on. Just wondering if anybody has tried them. I've watched the IJC YouTube review and look good. Also they have a strange sizing options. You can specify the width, either D, 2E or 4E. Anybody know the difference?

At a guess id say D=Narrow.2E=Regular.4E=Wide?  Id love more brands to do this as I have really wide feet and struggle in a lot of footwear.My Adidas sl22s are taking a long time for me to break in.

I', in a similar situation with the green boots which have sold out in my size (10) on SD but do have a 9. I'm usually somewhere between a 9 and 10 and tempted to take the plunge on the 9. I've currently got the blue NB spikes in a 10 and they are a decent fit and feel quite tight to start with but have certainly loosened up. Where are you getting them from?

[BigBlueMachine]

I'm getting them from the New Balance website. I've got a voucher for 50% off.

How do you find the weight of the blue boots?

[iand123]

Decent, ive got the no spiked one too and they are very comfy. Feel very sturdy and solid without being too heavy or cumbersome

[BigBlueMachine]

Cheers for the info. Might have to make these my next purchase. I would prefer the Nike or Adidas but at 50% off I can't complain.

i have the orange spikes ones. merely ordered a 8.5 from jake. foit perfectly, very comfy, probably the best spike sive owned. well impressed.

if my puma rubbers werent in such good condition too, id have ordered some rubber nb too by now.

Honestly, I would never go near new balance again. The trainer quality is awful, they disintegrated after 4 months! An dI mean proper disintegrated too! Make sure you read the reviews before purchasing!

There were quite a few warranty issues with them here, quite often is in a new boot on the market. I have been told it's been rectified.

[smilley792]

My nb trainers last as long as my Nikes do.

If you had a few pairs that died fair enough. But you can't really judge quality on one pair.

You can when they refuse to do anything about the problems I had. Poor customer service = Poor customer satisfaction!

I love the look of the New Balance gear, but I'm too tight to buy any of it!

[skip1973]

The new lower cut boot looks good this season, I like red as well.

Good point. No excuse for poor customer service.

I often find the poorer the customers behaviour the poorer the customer service.
