The negative comments then were based on the appearance. The positive comments now are based on their confort and functionality.

When the NB's first came out, the comments regarding the "fugly" appearance of the rivited metatarsl plate were also highly negative. The comments became positive once people starting wearing them.

The phobia of white trim on plate shoes is gradually falling by the wayside just as it has on base shoes.

The Reboks are even more comfortable that NB's and far easier to lace.

To each his own.
