I’ve been wearing 990s in a 14 or 15 6E for a while (12 years or so) for work and exercise, but the newer 990v6 just doesn’t hold up or fit quite the same. I’m still wearing a (tightly laced) 15 in them, but I’ve had trouble finding alternatives, and I definitely feel like I need more of a 14/14.5 with more width (which doesn’t exist).
Given how expensive NB has gotten, I’m eyeing whatever other options turn up and wondering if I’ll have to go custom. I’ll give xelero a look over, though, thank you for sharing this. :)
For boots I just wear thick socks in my red wings, but that’s not too often.
