M992 review - Cosmetics only review Apr 21, 2010 Cosmetics
The M992 on the lower side has a gray strip. That strip turns green within 6 months. And the green just gets worse from there. I think it makes these shoes look tacky and cheap. Who wants to wear green $135 shoes? I sure don't. And I sure won't pay for them again. The good news is, the 993 has made that area a dark gray, it shouldn't green as easily.
As far as the shoe goes, Very comfortable. I've been spoiled for life.
Best Running Shoe for Flat Footed People Feb 19, 2010 I'm usually an 11 to 11.5 and this 11.5 feels great. Gives needed support for the flat footed out there. Plus they have taken a lot of road and treadmill work and broke in beautifully. I even wear them when kicking my heavy bag and the wear and tear is hardly noticable. Best shoe purchase I've made in a long time. Very Satisfied.
HUBBY PLEASER Nov 29, 2009 MY HUBBY HAS WIDE FEET AND HUGH ARCHES SO THESE DIDN'T WORK OUT FOR HIGH ARCHES BUT WERE WIDE ENOUGH. WE'LL KEEP TRYING. GREAT PRICE AND CAME FAST SO THANKS.
Great quality shoe at a fair price Oct 17, 2009 I have had this shoe for 1.5 years and the shoe is in great shape still. My only wish is that I got a color other than white as the white gets dirty quicker than a darker color. Well, it shows the dirt quicker.
The sole and top are still in good shape with no holes or significant wear marks. It still feels good on my feet.
And I am glad they were made in the USA. Its good to see good quality built in America. Not all New Balance shoes are made in the US. You can find out which ones on their web site.
I would buy these shoes again.
Not enough support Sep 03, 2009 I was disappointed in this shoe. I have a very narrow foot and always buy the 11-AA in this series, and this 992 is not as comfortable as the old 991's I still wear because it does not support my foot as well, does not have enough arch in it. I was even wondering if it is not a "knock off", not a true New Balance shoe. I can't send it back now because I've decided just to wear it and see about getting some new supportive insoles in it.
