Pure Comfort -
Love. I have problem feet and I love to walk. These shoes let me walk everywhere and keep my feet happy. I've walked all over Rome, Milan and Barcelona in these shoes. I've hiked 8-10 miles in these shoes. I work out in these shoes. And these are the shoes I turn to when my comfort sandals or boots fail me. I realize that we're all individuals but if you're looking for a sneaker that's about performance yet still manages to look good, then the NB 992 is for you. Pair them with medium or thick hiking socks and your feet will feel like you're walking on air.

Great all day shoe -
I am a PE teacher and I need a comfortable shoe as I 'm on my feet all day. This is great. I have been wearing New Balance exclusively for about three years now. For one, because the size 12 is consistent between styles and two, they are comfortable. This is the best one so far. Lots of cushioning, neutral support. LOVE THEM!

I Love These Shoes!
These are the best shoes I have ever worn in the past 10 years. I've had plantar fasciitis; bone spurs on my heels, and have yet to have one painful foot day in these shoes. It's getting to be that I don't want to wear anything else, even for special occasions. Maybe I could glue sequins and sparkles on them for a wedding next month. Just kidding! (Or maybe I should).

Love these shoes -
Perfect fit. Great support. Since New Balance offers wider sizes, I've found these are the best running shoes for my feet. They also work great with my orthotics. Highly recommend.

New Balance 992's for women -
This is my fifth pair of women's NB 992's! I love them and agree that they do run a bit big, but work for me as I tend to wear very thick socks and I don't like to have my workout shoes be short-in-the toe. Especially when walking or doing lunges. I love these shoes and find the cushion in the heel area quite comfy and believe me I have walked all over Manhattan in them!! Additionally, I have been a repeat customer and couldn't live without my NB 992's!!!!
I'd also recommend:
The Merrell boots (both high and low) and the Born boots too.

Same as always with New Balance -
There is not much to say about New Balance. Looks good. Feels good. Wears good. You just can't beat them for the price!

I wear these shoes because of my terrible feet - I wish I could get a pair in black - solid black. I do not wear shoes, can only wear sneakers.

New Balance 992 -
I was recommended the New Balance 992s years ago and have grown accustomed to the fit. I have narrow feet and these particular shoes fit well and are very comfortable. I really like the navy color.

Excellent -
My job requires that I stand on my feet for up to 12 hours at a time and these are the only shoes that are truly comfortable. I bought these on recommendation from my doctor after I was having back pain and have worn them ever since! I always order the wider size and it makes a huge difference.

You can depend on the latest New Balance in the 900 series -
If you have been happy with all the other New Balance shoes in the 900 series you will also be pleased with the W992. My last pair was the W991. I tried other models and returned them for which Zappos gets an A+ again for customer service.

The walking shoe becomes an everyday shoe -
Although this shoe is made for walking, I have found myself wearing this shoe for dancing and anything else movement related. I am confident I can wear it for long periods of time, but haven't had the chance yet to go for a long 5+ hour walk, but intend to do so when the weather isn't so damp. This shoe gives excellent support.

Overall Great Shoe -
I love my 992s! They fit true to size and are super comfortable. The only complaint I have is the heel is a little thicker than most running/walking shoes and it took a little getting used to.

New Balance Super Shoe -
This shoe is great for running, walking, and shopping. I am going to order a second pair. It runs large. I needed a 10 instead of a 10 1/2.

Great shoe -
I have feet that ache badly after an hour or so if a shoe presses against the sides of the front of my feet at all, but because of the soft mesh on these shoes, my feet last much longer. Mesh instead of leather if you have this problem is the way to go!

I ordered a half size larger than my regular shoe size and they fit great. This shoe is a little stiffer than I expected, but offers great support and looks good, which is why I bought them.

New Balance 992 -
I have a lot of foot problems and this is the only shoe I have found that works for me.
However, wish they had half sizes (11-1/2).
Wish they made anonymous-looking shoes instead of these visual monstrosities. Can't they make anything that is all one color? Do they have to have their giant N everywhere? I refuse to wear jeans with big logos on the back pockets, but I have to put up with these ugly things.
Wish they were lighter weight.
Wish they felt softer inside. Have never figured out how they can feel so hard and full of seams inside but they never, never rub.
In short, I feel like I am wearing some sort of prosthetic, not a shoe, but they sure do the job with my under-pronation problem.

Love these shoes!
I have a painful heel (plantar fasciitis) and needed better shoes to wear everyday, around the house. I saw these shoes in Real Simple magazine as one of their favorite products and decided to try them. They are fantastic. The light gray color looks good and I do wear them with jeans for shopping. Zappos is great. Fast, I mean fast, service.

Great Shoe -
I have in the past had 2 pairs of these shoes and always found them the most comfortable. I have tried to get away with less expensive shoes but always end up coming back to these. I was having a slight problem with my left foot about 3 years ago and went to a foot doctor. With the amount of walking I was doing for exercise he told me to get a NB running shoe not a walking shoe because the stability would be better for my foot. This particular NB shoe was the most comfortable for me. I can wear them all day long and not feel like I need to change my shoes because my feet feel tired. So I have gone back to this shoe again. I ordered a 6 so I could have room for an insole and thicker socks but without either a 5 1/2 would be better. I do think this shoe runs about a 1/2 size bigger. All in all it is a great shoe.

Fabulous athletic shoes, and MADE in the USA -
Being made in the USA really does make a difference in so many ways. What is apparent about this shoe is the quality with which it was built. It's a roomy comfortable fit, and can easily be worn for a fully day of walking.

Really solid shoe -
I really love these shoes. I needed something with a little more stability and cushioning to wear while I'm pregnant, and these are perfect! Very comfortable, solidly made, and stable. Can be worn for running, or casually. Just a very comfortable shoe.
This is my first New Balance shoe, and I will be a lifelong fan.

Awesome!
Have only used these for street use, not working out, but so far so good. They look cute and require no breaking in. The soles are not cushiony, though, so I might slip in insoles.

My podiatrist recommended these as a walking shoe, and I have been very pleased. Good for people with low arches and weak ankles.
