Customer Reviews: Rating:  Date: 2008-06-30 I will take those shoes to Rome I was looking rather for long distance walking shoes than running shoes. Up to now I didn't care much for $100 pair of sneaker. Walmart was my second friend and whatever I needed I had bought over there. But the price difference makes difference for my feet and knees on the hard surface when I explore the city. It is extra cushion, extra soft landing which makes those shoes so enjoyable to wear. For my occasional running and frequent 2 hrs stairs steps in a gym I use another pair of shoes Mizuno Wave Rider II. They are lighter, have better "ventilation" and overall better fit for these tasks. Definitely a New Balance M992 shoes will be on my feet and hitting streets of Rome when I will explore the city Rating:  Date: 2008-06-29 New Balance M992 Running Shoe Good running shoe - light weight and good arch support while keeping a solid hold on the the whole foot. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-24 Most comfortable running shoe ever Ive owned 8 pairs of these since the 990's. It's quite simply the best running shoe ever produced. The durability absolutely blows though. They wear down so quick at the end of the line I always swear to myself no more. So I try another brand I read is good. Three weeks later I try on a pair of 992s, roll my eyes, and think they got me again. I get the gray ones and I think it also looks the best out of all the shoes too. Its a classic.
Durability: 3-4 Everything Else:10 Worth every penny. Rating:  Date: 2008-06-20 Most comfortable shoe I'm not a runner, so I can't comment on that feature. I use these as my everyday shoe. These are the most comfortable shoes I've ever owned. I like them so much, I am now buying my 2nd pair and retiring the older ones for yard work. I'm glad they haven't retired this model.

I don't know whose fault is on the following:
I have purchased New Balance shoes directly from their company for almost two decades. The running shoes (i.e, M962, NB2001, M992 GL, etc) had been a perfect fit to my feet, and I have felt very conmfortable and soft when wearing them (8-1/2-4E).
The current shoes (8-1/2-4E)are stiff and my feet feel tight when wearing them. I don't imply blame on the seller, but this is the first kind of experience with New Balance shoes.
Thank you
