My dad passed away in January. When I was cleaning out his closet I found three pairs of NB shoes just like that, new, older, and oldest. I laughed and cried at the same time.
My dad in a nutshell , had his crappy white nb for the postal service and brand new clean shoes for street clothes , also had a pair of ancient monarchs for mowing the lawn
I took my pops to get fitted for ice skates and he was telling dude how wide his feet are and the guy sized him and was like no actually your foot is pretty narrow😂
I just caught my dad unironically watching this video on CZcams from the TV. I thought I heard your voice from my bedroom, so I ran in the living room and sure enough. Lmao
This crosses cultures. Im a 50 year old African American man. Ive been bitchin about how hard it is to find Nikes in a wide. There are 3 pairs of NB in my closet all 2E. I even stocked up on a couple pair when I found them on clearance......I make the same noises....this video.....what has become of my life??? LOL
Was getting my 15 year old son some new dress shoes the other day. Caught myself explaining how he should probably just get the same size, only wider...just passing the torch.
My Dad did lawn care in the rattiest pair of tennis shoes to ever exist. Old black pair of shoes with the soles flopping and the laces frayed. Wore his work boots to do it once Mom threw away his old pair cause his socks were getting grass stains.
@@brz757 What do you mean? The Nike's are 64.99 and the New Balance's are 59.99? Where are you buying these for 180 bucks, because you're getting majorly ripped off my dude.
Man. This reminds me of my Dad so much. He wears a size 16 and NB (according to him) are the only shoes that fit him. He's always hiking-up his white socks and rockin' the NB shoes in the summer time. And yes, he makes those EXACT same sounds when putting them on!!!!!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
New Balance shoes usually lift you up a little so that you're a little "taller" when you wear them--not by much, though. I'm a 5'6" guy, so I have to appreciate things like that.
I watched this video last night and found it absolutely hysterical due to how true it is. What made it even more hysterical, is that I was on my way to work this morning and I was driving through a suburban neighborhood and I saw a couple (50's) taking a stroll down the street and I thought to myself "I guarantee this guy is wearing either NB's or Monarchs". As I passed them, lo and behold, he was wearing an old pair of Monarchs lmfao. It gave me a good laugh 😂
To break it down, the NB is your classic yard-work shoe and has a more simplistic look, while the Monarch is just as qualified for yard-work as the NB, it's a bit flashier, definitely great for going to your local Applebee's, Champ's, Chilis, or any of your local eateries.
it makes no sense to do yard work in white shoes because they will get dirty and stained real quick. get black sneakers or boots for heavy duty yard work.
I have a theory that, even if you don't generally make dad noises, they'll just start involuntarily coming out of your body if you put a pair of either of these on.
Grandpa died after a falling off of stairs after picking up a brand new pair of new balances. Grandma said he was super excited to show us grandchildren on the drive home. This video made me have good thoughts about him, thank you
As a middle aged guy, I prefer the NB623 to any shoe. I have got....you ready for this....5 years out of 2 different pairs of these Bad Boys. Everyday wear to boot. Just bought some pricey Brooks running shoes with some obscene amount of rubber on the bottom making my equilibrium all out whack because I think my brain prefers the flatter New Balance 623. These shoes are a win for dads and middle aged guys anywhere. Those days of spending $130 on shoes to impress anybody via the 1980's are over. My experimentation with the Brooks shoes is over also. Stick with the tried and true $59.00 NB baby!!
I wore these freshmen year in Public High School, all the kids with $90 Air Force Ones made fun of me. It took me a while to realize that having your dad as a role model when your 14 isn't cool.
I have both. They are both comfortable. But between the two, the Nikes are more comfortable. But, the New Balance will last longer. I bought 2 Nike Air Monarchs in less than a year due to the sole separating from the shoe. Had to glue the sole back to the Nike shoe.
Actually not joking, my wife and I just found out she is pregnant today and she told me by giving me a present which was those EXACT NB dad shoes and I immediately knew.
Nike air monarchs are comfortable. I wear them, the all black ones. I'm not a middle aged dad. But my brother always makes fun of me saying I got old guy shoes.
@@nonyobussiness3440 Even online there is limited selection of shoes in wide widths. You're pretty much stuck with dad shoes. None of the "cool" shoes are made in wide widths.
Always choose new balance. Kaepernicks daddy (RICK) rocks the Monarchs. And as we all know the mid west is known for its patriotism and standing for our beloved flag.
Rogan’s Shoes in Wisconsin has a complete aisle dedicated to both of these styles. NB on the one side, and Nike on the other. Classic white with blue accents in a plethora of sizing. Official shoe in the state of Wisconsin.
You gotta start scoping out which stores have an abundance of both brands 3-4 weeks before you even are ready to buy them . When you are ready for new kicks you have to buy 3 or more pairs . So stylish for mowing that they go like a case of iced cold Bush Lites
I used to bag on these shoes, now it's about all I wear. When you're 45, ya just don't care anymore and wanna be comfy and have them last. Dad shoes for the win. Levi's 501's, pocket tees, hoodies... Khakis and untucked polo shirts on dates. That's about it. Get set in your ways, you'll be happier when you don't give a shit anymore.
We called them the Nike Air Dads. Can't go wrong with either one. I'm on my Nike pair lately and spent all day walking NYC. Will take the NBs to the museum next week. 5 hrs standing.
My wife and I are having our first kid in the new few weeks so I went ahead and got the wide new balances. Really feeling confident in my agility and stamina needed for the dad life.
My dad passed away in January. When I was cleaning out his closet I found three pairs of NB shoes just like that, new, older, and oldest. I laughed and cried at the same time.
Sorry...I lost my Mom.
So sorry for your loss
😂
Sorry for your loss man. That's a great memory
My father passed in March. I had the same experience except he was a fan of Brooks. Sorry for your loss.
How many dad's are going to be watching this video because they legitimately can't decide which one to get.
It’s funny because it’s true! 😂
Deadass I use the air monarchs for work shoes cause you know if the dads are wearing them they comfy 😂
its so true! Here I am, decided its about time I make the choice...
Me right now
Me
My pops made the switch to the NB Velcro. He’s next level dad
Wow. How did you make that statement from the future?
gsweater hahahahaha nice!! Lolll
Is your dad 88 by chance?
I’m not there yet 😂😂
Velcro sneakers..great for 5 year olds and 85 year olds.
I just went with my dad to buy these exact new balance shoes from kohl’s and he made the same noises when trying them on!!🤣🤣
I heard Kohl’s has a sale
gsweater what the hell
🤣🤣👍🏽
I once had a boss that had one pair for “work” and one pair for “street clothes”.
styling
You’re gosh darn right I did!
What a flex
My dad in a nutshell , had his crappy white nb for the postal service and brand new clean shoes for street clothes , also had a pair of ancient monarchs for mowing the lawn
🤭🤭🤭🤭
I’ve seen my dad leave many stores disappointed and empty handed because they didn’t have any wide fit styles haha. Spot on
My dad always talks about how he needs his extra wide NBs 🤣
I took my pops to get fitted for ice skates and he was telling dude how wide his feet are and the guy sized him and was like no actually your foot is pretty narrow😂
Nick C4 lmao 😂
Kinda wish sharon was this supportive of my fantasy league hahaha
I read this comment as he said it
It's literally only two nights a week...
That same old new balance shoe has gotta be coming up on its 700th anniversary or something
lol
When you make the perfect shoe, why change it?
You are WRONG. 😂
Little known fact: the New Balance shoes are the same shoes Thomas Jefferson wore while drafting the Declaration of Independence.
Yeah I saw him wearing them.
Just a rumor, but I read the founding fathers had Dr Scholles arch supports inside their NB.
Aaron Burr wore a fancy swoosh, n kneeled for the national anthem.
They are the founding fathers for a reason.
I have a doctorate in American History from Harvard, and that is a true statement
Can’t wait for you to do some grill reviews, coal vs gas. How awesome Webber is etc hahaha
Create Channel It’s Charcoal and Propane son.
I couldn't agree any more to this!
excuse you, Vogner Charking Imperial is where it is at
Trust me till then it's the Wal-Mart dad shoe .... I'm 22 and a father of 2 and these things are like these but in red and white
Weber dumbass
I was dying by all the grunting 😂
As a 34 year old Dad of two I can confirm New Balance is where it's at.
I just caught my dad unironically watching this video on CZcams from the TV. I thought I heard your voice from my bedroom, so I ran in the living room and sure enough. Lmao

Never understood why New Balance is the only brand with all their shoes in different widths
White Dad is a way of living, sir.
Was getting my 15 year old son some new dress shoes the other day. Caught myself explaining how he should probably just get the same size, only wider...just passing the torch.
go daddd!!!
1:39 I see you about to bend the shoe in half hamburger style!! Classic Dad move to break in some freshies 😂 🤣
I love the jokes about these shoes with dads mowing, but never one time I have seen them in the wild. It's all flip flops and push mowers around here.
My Dad did lawn care in the rattiest pair of tennis shoes to ever exist. Old black pair of shoes with the soles flopping and the laces frayed. Wore his work boots to do it once Mom threw away his old pair cause his socks were getting grass stains.
Where do u live? Every dad in my area rocks these, including my old man 😂
I JUST came from one of your videos, man lol
There’s nothing more American than mowing your lawn while wearing a $180 pair of made in the US sneakers
@@brz757 What do you mean? The Nike's are 64.99 and the New Balance's are 59.99? Where are you buying these for 180 bucks, because you're getting majorly ripped off my dude.
Everyone gets a voucher for a free pair of these when they turn 55.
Comes in your AARP welcome kit
Ya gotta have the extra support. Ya don’t wanna roll your ankle in shoes that don’t got no support.
Colin Zwiebel das true
I started laughing out loud at the grunts, but pulling the leg up did me in

Their only the midwestern version when their complete with grass stains
I hate that you used the wrong they’re not once but twice..
Erik Lee thanks for pointing that out. I certainly did, you are correct.
Pillow Fight true.
No, they have old New Balance ones for lawn work. New ones are for church.
Yes Midwest is the only region in the US that mows lawns.
Been wearing New Balance for years, not due to preforance, due to them being the only shoe that's wide enough.
Watching this after I finished mowing my lawn.
This channel is pure gold, you betcha
This gives me anxiety about being middle aged
John Nawrocki hahahaha yes!
John Nawrocki don’t fear age you could have died or be in jail
Erik Rooize
How do you know John hasn’t been in jail?
You gotta embrace it my man
Talk about gen z lol
My father in law has both.. he's obviously a man of the world
Nike for special occasions and NB for everything else lols
He sounds classy and cultured..
These are the bad boys dads can't wait to get on for cuttin' lawns & grilling
as someone who works in shoe store management, this video is a prized possession to me.
Busch light leads to arthritis groans yet dulls the pain.
You should have added a fart to the mix when try on new shoes funny video 😂
"it's that darn barking spider"
Jason Dye ORIGINAL MUSIC laughing at farts? How old are u
Dammit Jason! Sunglasses, electric guitars, and fart jokes? How do you ever expect to get out of your moms house?
We call those shoes "stepdads" around here.
This comment is so underrated

Not stated in this video but the new balance shoes are the 623's, judging by the 4 stripes on the bottom of the shoe.
This dude at work makes those noises everytime he has to do any physical activity. That includes getting up from his chair
The thing about Myles is he doesn’t just talk about the 4E, HE WEARS THEM
Something tells me it's bad that I have owned both of these shoes. lol
Why did you steal those from my dad
I have a theory that, even if you don't generally make dad noises, they'll just start involuntarily coming out of your body if you put a pair of either of these on.
Thank the mighty father that I found this channel. This is pure hidden CZcams Gold!
Grandpa died after a falling off of stairs after picking up a brand new pair of new balances. Grandma said he was super excited to show us grandchildren on the drive home. This video made me have good thoughts about him, thank you
Lmao starting at 1:38 the “ugghhh, aghhhh, ughhhhhh” had me dying. Sounds like me getting ready for work .
This is easily one of my favorite new channels. My girlfriend is from the Midwest and this reminds me so much of her family. It’s amazing.
How is this channel not blowing up?!?! Love it!!!!!
I can't wait to get older so I can fully embrace this look. When I'm trying on new shoes, I'll always complain about my bum knee I got back in '28.
'28?!!!
@@ImNotaRussianBot 2028
Both are incredible shoes. The extra wide versions for both are stable and phenomenal
The sound effects when sitting or just doing anything are priceless! And this is pretty much me in a nutshell, kids do this to all us men!!
I usually agree with you, but, I am all in on Nike AMs. I even have my next pair waiting in the box in my closet.
When you buy a corvette you get a pair along with. Windbreaker cargo shorts and a membership to the jelly of the month club.
I live right next to the golf course on this dude’s pullover
My pops just uses whatever brand new pair that his wife bought because he's clueless untill she comes out and starts yelling lol.

Every day should be a role model, but that doesn't mean you have to dress like him.
Unless those kids paid for those shoes with their own money they should shut the hell up.
I love my new balances more then my air forces and I never get made fun of
You got me at the lawn mower part😂
I have both. They are both comfortable. But between the two, the Nikes are more comfortable. But, the New Balance will last longer. I bought 2 Nike Air Monarchs in less than a year due to the sole separating from the shoe. Had to glue the sole back to the Nike shoe.
NB known for quality much more than Nike
Hey guys thank you for the awesome video. You guys are the best! Cant wait for the next video!!
This is my husband trying on shoes. Right now he is mowing the lawn in his “mowing” NB sneaks.
Eugh, ugh, ooooooohhh, eeeeaaaah, auhhhhhhhhh... *shoe finally fits*
Found you on Facebook but was getting tired of ads and I have CZcams red. Yakshemash, Great Success!! 👍👍
"Extra, Extra, Extra, Extra wide".....🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Actually not joking, my wife and I just found out she is pregnant today and she told me by giving me a present which was those EXACT NB dad shoes and I immediately knew.
The grunting man, it's killing me.😂😂
My dad has a white pair of NB for casual and a black pair that he refers to as his “dress sneakers” 🤦🏻♀️😂😂😂😂😂
This is fuckin comedy gold god damn it! “I almost wish they came in 5 or 6 E “ hahaha well done sir 👍
Nike air monarchs are comfortable.
I wear them, the all black ones.
I'm not a middle aged dad.
But my brother always makes fun of me saying I got old guy shoes.
Who the hell ever gives this guys videos a thumbs down??? 🤯🤷♂️🤦♂️
The people who buy air monarchs
My son has wide feet. Nike has always been too narrow for him. New Balance we’ve always found in wide widths at Kohl’s.
The lawnmower way at 2:27 is killing me 😂
everything he reviews always the thing on his left side wins
My feet are actually 4e width, you have no idea about my shoe shopping struggle. It's either dad shoes or nothing for me :(
Order online
@@nonyobussiness3440 Even online there is limited selection of shoes in wide widths. You're pretty much stuck with dad shoes. None of the "cool" shoes are made in wide widths.
Have you tried Eastbay? We do for my mom because of that width issue & try finding such in stores & FOR Ladies.

NB all the way!! Most comfortable shoes I have ever owned.
burst my eardrums daddy
Get Jesus
And get him quickly
I wear an 11.5 4E and New Balance is my favorite brand. Never owned a pair of Nikes.

God I'm 34 and I already grunt like that when I put on shoes 🤣 I don't even remember when it started happening! 🤦♂️
New Balance...it feels wider and no fancy swoosh. Works for me.
OMG dude, WTF? I think shit kickers would suit a Busch Light fanatic the best.
you need to try the Kirkland dad shoes
When I turned 40 i realized I started doing these grunts when putting on socks and shoes
Fresh white shoes I’m cut the grass up in these. Dad life
I'm turning 30 in August, and this has been my one wish.
Not just dads, im 21 and own a pair of camo sketchers, owned air monarchs in the past lol
My Air Monarchs are comfortable and, yes, wide-fit. 🤣
