Mess dress uniform is the semi-formal type of uniforms used by military, police, fire and other public uniformed services for certain ceremonies, receptions, and celebrations, in messes or on private occasions. It frequently consists of a mess jacket, trousers, white dress shirt, often with standing collar and bow tie, along with orders and medals insignia. Design may depend on regiment or service branch, e.g. army, navy, air force, marines, etc. In Western dress codes, mess dress uniform is a permitted supplementary alternative equivalent to the civilian black tie for evening wear or black lounge suit for day wear - sometimes collectively called half dress - although military uniforms are the same for day and evening wear. As such, mess dress uniform is considered less formal than full dress uniform, but more formal than service dress uniform.

Prior to World War II, this style of military uniform was largely restricted to the British and United States Armed Forces, although the French, German, Swedish and other navies had adopted their own versions of mess dress during the late 19th century, influenced by the British Royal Navy.

While mess dress uniform is predominantly worn at occations by commissioned officers and non-commissioned officers, it may also be worn as an optional uniform by some senior enlisted personnel. It is also sometimes worn by members of royal courts or certain civilian uniformed services.

Miniature medals are suspended on ribbons one half the width of their normal counterparts, and are worn on the left lapel. Exceptions to the miniature medals are the Medal of Honor, the Presidential Medal of Freedom (although the PMF also includes an optional miniature version), and authorized foreign neck-borne decorations (e.g., Knight Commander of Order of the Bath, Commander of the Order of Military Merit, et al.) Individual and unit awards that consist of ribbons only are not worn on the mess uniform. Miniature versions of combat and special skill badges are worn above the miniature medals, along with miniature versions of Ranger and Special Forces shoulder tabs, made of enameled metal. Marksmanship and driver/mechanic badges are not worn on the mess uniform. Regimental distinctive insignia is worn on the right lapel. Identification badges worn on service uniform pockets, such as the Drill Sergeant Identification Badge, Presidential Service Badge, Recruiter Badge, Office of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Identification Badge, et al., are worn between the top and middle buttons on the applicable side of the mess uniform.

Comfortable nike running shoes.
Size: 13, Color: Black/Summit White/Anthracite/Cyber, Size: 13, Color: Black/Summit White/Anthracite/Cyber
Nice and comfortable from the moment that I put them on my feet. Feels like you’re walking on memory foam. You have to buy comfortable shoes when you’re on your feet all day. I do Amazon Flex in. These will be perfect although I have several pairs so that way, the shoe lasts longer. Definitely would buy these in different colors very satisfied.

Good shoe, seems physically big
I really like these shoes. I’ve been able to wear them for about a week now and am really impressed with how they’re holding up. A lot of my shoes start to squeak in a similar amount of time and these still feel like they just came out of the box. I especially like the heal support, it feels like it’s really gripping the heal nicely My one complaint is that they seem physically larger than most size 11 shoes from Nike I buy. In spite of fitting the same inside, the actual shoe seems about an inch longer than my other Nike size 11s. It’s not a deal breaker and it doesn’t impact the comfort, it might even make them more comfortable, but they look a bit large on my foot. And if you have a narrow foot, you might be swimming in these.

Can’t Miss Shoe
Size: 11, Color: White/Blue Crystal/Total Orange, Size: 11, Color: White/Blue Crystal/Total Orange
Great looking shoe! Fit to form, I wear a size 101/2 or 11 and I ordered a size 11 and they fit perfectly. Soft and comfortable perfect for walking as I suffer from knee and back pain at 59 years old…. Don’t judge me. Normal width size for me so not sure about the wide fit but the toe room for me is comfortable. Great choice will definitely recommend.

Yes Go Nike!
These Nike men's shoes are very comfortable. It's a pretty versatile shoe. I am able to work out in the gym, go for hikes, walk on the street and run errands all with ease and comfortability. They are sturdy, have good cushion and great support for your joints and back keeping you aligned. They lean on the more narrow side for fit so if you have wide feet they may not work for you. The green around the heal is attractive. The price I paid for the shoes was extremely reasonable making them a great value. I have been using them for a couple of months now and they are still in great shape. Excellent buy!
