I WAS SLEEPING ON THESE! New Balance 991 Made in the UK Review + On Feet

[@michaelpalm2210]

I have 2 pairs of the Made in USA 993's. Made in Lawrence ,Massachusetts. They look very similar to the 991 and I think they came out in 2008.. I went through several pairs and the newest ones I have were made around 2018 and in 2020 NB made a limited release of the 993 in Vintage Indigo blue which is beautiful and goes well with jeans. Love the classic NBs. Glad NB still makes them and glad someone else appreciates them like i do. Good job Hes!

[@diogosantos8645]

I bought a pair for around 120€, best purchase ever, would buy other colorways

[@Omegabalmung99]

Having 4eeee feet and rheumatoid arthritis, NB has been my go to shoes nowadays. They fit perfectly and doesn't kill my feet after 30 mins of walking. Gonna try to get me a pair also 😀

[@heskicks]

I love the wide foot options for NB in most models!

[@stevewaldorf5020]

IMO skip this model if you have wide feet or thick feet.

[@JR-yl3zy]

New balance 99 series are my go to for wide fit. Even better if u exchange the insole with a cushier option. Best materials and a timeless look. Just because my foot is wide doesnt mean I cant be fly!

[@Omegabalmung99]

@@stevewaldorf5020 I'm a 12.5 but if I get regular width shoes, I usually go up to 14 lol.

[@stevewaldorf5020]

@@Omegabalmung99 I’m 12.5 maybe 2E. It’s more of a toe thing for me. my big toe is weird and needs space. The 2002R isn’t made in the USA/England but the fit on those is amazing. Check out Hes’ review of the blue ones. That shoe fits me amazing, ymmv obviously.

[@Daviesherr1981]

991s made in UK are beautifully made. So comfortable as well.

[@rkli-orbz-il843]

Can they be used as a running shoe

[@glenangeles2104]

not for wide feet

[@BdaB164]

@@rkli-orbz-il843 I know this comment is old - but I would recommend purchasing a shoe specifically designed for running. These are more of an everyday shoe imo. If you have any walk/run shops in your area stop by. They'll size you and determine what type of shoe to look for depending on if you're a neutral, supinated, or pronated walker.

[@wmendozer]

I bought these in-store as a mistake. I thought they were 992s. But these are so damn nice. They’re my work beaters. The materials are crazy good

[@lkkben]

You might need to break in the midsole when it comes to 991. It will be much more comfortable after breaking in

[@johnnycriscoa.k.atamesjayl5910]

General Rule: Made in UK - TTS, Made in US - Down .5 size

[@leonardohurovich3381]

I have a pair of these, and they are definitely one of the best looking and with the superior material quality out there for NB. Gotta say tho the toebox is a bit snug, I went for the same size I have on my 992 and 990, and it's just a bit narrow, so gotta be careful before picking these up. Also, don't expect the same level of comfort as a 990, its midsole is quite stiff in comparison, and I wouldn't buy them for the purpose of being work shoes or daily beater

[@stevankenzo]

The midsole, is it like airmax 90 feels?

[@ianturnbow7011]

@@stevankenzoNot necessarily. Closer to the AM1 than AM90, but there’s less of a distinct heel to toe drop feeling IMO.

No, much, much more comfortable

I think the 991s are low key the best looking of the 99x series. If I wasn't in the wide feet gang, I'd buy 10 more pairs of these. [ I also made the mistake of going down a half size on my only pair but it's still awesome ]

Appreciate this vid Hes, but why not throw v2s? The 991 has V2s now and they phased these out I think.

[@emiliobagus]

Hi, i want to ask you a question. My foot length is 25.5cm and it is equal to EUR40,5. I have NB550 (EUR40,5) and it feel a bit loose for me. Should i size down if i buy NB991?

[@calcalb]

I’m wearing 993 US10 & it’s been my favourite NB. Now I juz got a pair of 991 but I have to to take a size up US10.5 . Maybe I got wide feet , 993 is much wider

[@xlr8rify]

992 is goated but I love the 991 sole. I wish there was a 992.5 of some sort where it takes the upper or sole of another shoe and did a swap making a new silhouette entirely.

[@ricardoalves9394]

if the number is 992.5, the upper will be of a 992, only the sole is swapped, that's usually how they do it

[@playingindies6730]

Have you ever done a video for shoes that are best to wear as a retail worker? Keeping in mind that sometimes retail workers have to climb on things, so the super soft shoes don't really work for it Models like this shoe probably would, but are also pricey for just work right

[@GNo7786]

Great review on a great shoe. I bought this model last week, I went a half size up and it feels great for me. Super great quality. The 991 are a low key right now but I think it will be the next 992. Aime Leon Dore is about to launch several variations of 991s 😏. I bet it will participate on the future hype of this model. Thanks for the video @heskicks

[@shikaka2325]

Did you go up a half size because you have a wide foot? Or because you heard you have to? Any help would be appreciated

[@AlexisKechichian]

@@shikaka2325 I went half a size up because I heard it was better for wide feets and it is great since then. I did the same with the Palace model that dropped a few months ago. Please notice that since then I went a size up for every model I bought (990v2, v3, v6 and 860v2 and also on AJ3) and it is the best decision.

Is the sizing on the website US or UK?

Isn't the 990v6 coming out this year? Last 99x pair I had was a 990v4 in triple black. Wore it as a work shoe on concrete walking 15k-20k steps a day. The sole lost its comfort to me after about 6-8 months of 40+ hours of wear a week.

there are some variations to this shoe, you have the original 991, there's also the 991.5 and the 991.9 (that I know of), in these .5 and .9 variations the sole gets swapped with soles of other numbers. I feel like the turquoise black 991.9 is a must have for any new balance lover

I had bought the 991 back in 2004 and was made in USA. Unparalleled quality and crazy cushioning The UK version is a huge disappointment, it's a joke compared to the original one, the midsole feels like being made of wood. I tried it in a store but didn't buy it, it's only for fashion victims who can't compare.
