Second pair, look and feel great. Not for serious running though, as they are heavy, but great walking/athletic shoes.

Great, comfortable shoe. I wear it every day for work in a hospital. I had the same pair for over a year before replacing with a new pair. Light/comfortable/well made.

Comfortable shoe. On my fourth pair. Very well made. Zappos price and speed of delivery made it even more enjoyable.

I like them. They were my fist shoes purchased on internet. Thanks to Zappos you can shop with confidence. MR993 are good looking, comfortable and lightweight sport shoes. If you pick up the right size and put them on after being 8 hours on your feet with working shoes you can tell the difference right away.

Bought these in 14-4E for my 16 year old son, who has commented that these are easily the most comfortable, best shoes he's ever worn. Highly recommended.

This is a lot of shoe - ample support, very durable. I have little to no arch and these help tremendously.

Aside from the goofy red laces, this is really the most comfortable running shoe you can buy, whether you plan on running or not. And made in the USA.

I'm very pleased with my purchase, they provide the ankle support I need and are very comfortable to run in. Highly recommend them to anyone thinking of buying them.

I am a heavier runnner right now around 245. These shoes are awesome and provide enough cushining for me. \r\n\r\nI would recomend these shoes.

Made this purchase for my husband. This is his second pair and I was asked to order another in case the style is discontinued. He has sensitive feet, but finds these comfortable to wear all day.

I really like this shoe. I've run in Asics before, but I switched to NB because NB offers a firmer running shoe. The 993 meets my needs exceptionally; I only run for exercise and not for any races or anything, and this shoe helps me get in a modest mileage each week. I run 5ks and fun runs occasionally, and the shoes have held up well there too. They're a little warmer than the NB1093s I just switched from, but that's to be expected when the 1093s are pretty much all mesh and the 993 are a mixture of denser materials. In any case, if you're looking for a firm, comfortable ride for an underpronator then these are for you.

I've been buying the same sneaker for the last 3 years over and over again (I switch up the color with each purchase). Why would I do such a thing? Because this is the best sneaker ever made. The 993s are super comfortable and they look great. Don't think twice. They cost what they do, because they are made so well.

My initial order was the wrong size so I reordered. The entire experience was painless and extremely easy. Zappos is the greatest.

Great running shoes. I been buying this as long as I remember and every single on bought fits me perfectly. Ultra light, great shock support, durable sole, and it's also one of the shoes that is made in USA. Can't go wrong with 993.

I've been buying these shoes for the last 5+ years because I can't find another shoe that gives the same support and comfort at this price. Trust me these shoes have never failed me. Thank you!

My only issue with these shoes is that the uppers don't breathe as well as the NB's they replaced. They are otherwise wonderful! Made in America!

I am 55 and walk, run and hike over 2,000 miles per year in a good year--that's a lot of shoes. I have never wrote a review before but felt compelled to do so as this is the best shoe I ever owned, and the other models of New Balance I currently own (845 and 927) also excellent. Perfect fit; very comfortable; protect my feet; good for all surfaces; stable; excellent quality and made in the USA! That's it! I'm sold and doubt I will ever buy anything other than New Balance. Happy Trails!

Just purchased a pair of the grey 993's. Possibly the best running shoes I've ever worn. The quality is fantastic and the cushioning is much improved from the 992, which was also a great shoe despite the harsh criticism it got. The 993 runs small so buy your pair a half size bigger than your normal size. The only thing I don't like about the 993 is the look of the midsole. I like the sophisticated, flowing look of the 992's midsole better. In any case, the 993 is clearly one of the best running shoes available today. Can't wait to see what New Balance has planned for the 994.

The foot doctor my husband went to for foot pain recommended New Balance and I have bought several pairs for other people in the family. This pair was for my granddaughters boyfriend who has back pain and now he is wearing New Balance for the first time and his back is better. Stick with a winner!

I love ordering from Zappos because it is so difficult to find wide sizes in shoe stores. Because Zappos doesn't charge for ordering and returning shoes until I found the right shoe in the right size, I am very happy with the 4 different styles of shoes I now own.

I picked them for their black color, and for the good reviews they got. I was worried about size so I ordered them in Wide for both my husband and myself. We both have high insteps (thick feet from top to bottom) and I needed room for insoles. I usually wear 9 to 9/2, and am glad I got the 9 1/2. They are a bit large, but I like that. Totally don't rub sides of my feet. I totally recommend these shoes, and yes, they really do look GREAT with jeans!

Bought these sneakers for my husband. He has very narrow feet and finding comfortable shoes is a very tough task. He said they were comfortable from the moment he put them on. True to size and width. Thanks Zappos for your great service.

What a time saver. I hate going out looking for shoes to find the pair you really want and they don\'t have your size. I spent maybe 20 to 30 minutes shopping the brand and size I wanted and bingo! Done! 3 days later there on my front porch\r\nwaiting for me to put them on. Free Shipping. \r\n Can\'t do much better than that.
