I find it odd that 78% of reviewers rate this shoe as having "excellent arch support". This shoe in fact has NO arch support -- the insole is completely flat. No support, and this shoe is very heavy. I really wanted to like these because they look simple and minimal as opposed to most other running shoes that are shiny and metallic and futuristic and a bit tacky. Oh well. This is likely a good walking shoe for those with flat feet who are on the heavier side.
I'd also recommend:

In this latest “improvement” of the 991, NB has helped somewhat in the fit over the instep, but the toe is still too wide. I wear a 9.5 B plus an additional insole seems necessary, but it is about only shoe that I can wear and since it is better than the others, I will continue to buy it.

I'm a big guy and I use these to work out and just everyday walking. They are already breaking down in just a few months of wearing them. Would not recommend these to heavy people.

Bought this shoe for work (coach), didn't do much running in the 993 before the cloth on the outer parts of both shoes began to thin and wear out around the small toe, I probably had them 2-3 months. Very disappointed, returned them to the store I purchased them in and got another pair and had the very same problem with the new pair. Had a pair of 992s that I was very happy with that were much better quality and lower price than the 993s that lasted over a year. Again, very unhappy with the quality of the shoe.
