New Balance - New SNOAFER! Not a Sneaker Not a Loafer but a Hybrid

[ Edited ]

Was watching GMA and these new New Balance shoes were debuted.  It's called a Snoafer!   A hybrid between a sneaker and a loafer.  Here's a picture of one of the styles in this new hybrid.  It's being billed as a comfortable shoe with good support and having all the benefits of a lightweight sneaker.  Yes, No?  What do you all think? You be the judge.

I'd love to try it but can't find it for sale anywhere. Let me know if you find out who is selling it.

 

Comfort is the name of the game for me. My favorite casual slip-on is Ecco Soft 7 or Ecco Barentz. The only time I don't wear Ecco is when I wear Asics kayano for walking and exercise.

🤔 Interesting, they are cute, I would give them a try, but different color. Don't like the silver.

Kind of cute.  I also don't like the silver ....maybe it's the way this silver is done because I do like some silver shoes.  Anyway, the problem that I have with loafers is that often the heels are just too loose for me and my foot slips right out.

Looks cute!  Actually went to their website and not out yet.

 

I am a big New Balance fan for their wide width.  The absolute best support for walking.  Old ones move on to garden work.

 

It would be wonderful if they are well built since they would eliminate laces.

Darn, I don't like them. Boo. I was intrigued when I saw the subject line but they're just not for me. But I do think they're an interesting idea. I do love New Balance shoes and because of my terrible feet I wear a pair of their sneakers every single day. Realistically for my uber narrow feet I need laces to get the best fit.
