Customer Reviews

The best shoes ever!!
If you have problems with rolling your ankle when you run, these shoes are awesome!!! They provide great stability and are just as comfortable or even more so than the 991s. Great running shoes.

I buy a pair of these every year!
I am a little lazy about fashion, so it helps that I love these shoes so much that they're the only shoes I wear. I have probably gone through 6 pairs of these (first the 991s, and now the 992s now that the 991s have been fazed out). It takes a few walks to break them in. They feel tight around the ankles and a little high at the heel. But once they're broken in, they are extremely comfortable. And I love the neutral color.

I do moderate walking 6 times a week in these and wear them for everything else. Despite all that usage, they last at least a year. I'm kind of in a routine now where I wear the old ones for exercise and the new ones as my regular shoes. (Each pair is in use for 2 years!) I am a big nerd, but I love these shoes and it works. They are pricey. Never buy them at the NB store or at the mall. The best deals are online. Amazon is great!

Upgrade from 991
This shoe is popular for good reasons. It looks good. It is available in a broad range of sizes and widths. It is a good running shoe. Finally, I can get it in black in my size, which is 10AA. The 991 only had gray and white in my size. The 992 runs true to size, also, which is nice. You had to size up for the 991. New Balance builds on (at least) 2 running shoe lasts, and this is from the SL-1 last. If you have favorite shoes, find out which last they are based on and buy more off that last.
I walk/jog on hilly sidewalks and these keep my legs alive. The prevention of over-pronation is important when I run down hills with my dog. If I don't have these on, I have learned that my old legs get a very sore tendon behind my knee.
If your old favorites are the 991, now is the time to upgrade.
