    I really appreciate how you went back to this review and changed your mind. I just copped mine and my opinion is that New Balance has done a perfect job in updating a timeless classic like the 991. It was not easy to change a model that has made the history of the brand, but they did it the right way, keeping what was good about the original version and changing for the good. For istance, the new midsole with fuel cell is way better than the original, both in terms of comfort and shape. I love my pair, is growing on me day after day and it's really becoming my favorite silouette of all. However, I do agree on the lack of attention of the craftmanship, too many extra glue and extra stitching yarn. This pair is expensive, it should be perfect!

    The V2 was on sale today for $150 but they sold out. Anyone who's looking to get a pair just be patient and keep your eyes open.

    I knew you'll come around 😂. Thanks for the updated review and comparison. You can't go wrong on a sleek looks of the V2. I'm glad that the fuel cell really made some difference in the comfort. Now I want this even more, the problem is the stock and that friggin price tag. 😢.

    Thanks for this. I got my first 991 (V2 version) and I must say I expected them to be more confortable. Not comparable with the 990 V3 for example. I hope they will get more comfortable with use. Aesthetically they look great though.

    Looks like 991 is losing its identity with V2 after it looks way too close to 992, but 991v2 should be lighter. Too bad V2 is still unable in Canada, and no wonder NB stopped 992 production for a while 😂

    To anyone who has tried the 991v2 I want your sizing recommendation, I wear size 9.5 in 2002r and size 9 in 990v3 and v4 should I go with size 9 or 9.5 with the 991v2? My foot is slightly wider than normal.

    • @brian.j103
      @brian.j103 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      I wear a 10.5 in 990v3 and I sized down a half size for the 991v2 to size 10 and they fit perfectly. I found that size 10.5 in the v2 was too long for my foot. I have a slightly narrow foot versus your foot that is slightly wider, so for your sizing maybe true to size would be best for the v2. If you go a half size up they might be too long, but I can’t say for sure. Hope this helps. If you’re able to order a 9 and a 9.5 and try on both and keep the best fit and return the other that would be ideal but I understand sometimes both sizes aren’t always available and there’s also the added cost of return shipping depending on the retailer. Good luck!

    Everyone’s foot is different! On the V1 and V2 I went up a size (.5) and they fit fine. Really get annoyed when reviewers think their foot size/width is the same for everyone else.
    Some ppl like a snugged fit, some like TTS, and some like a looser fit. Please stop thinkin your foot is the standard because some ppl can fall under false pretenses with your reviews.

    • @guynkicks
      @guynkicks  8 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s why everyone should always try the shoe on first if they can, which I’ve normally said that in my videos. I try to give people a general idea, everyone should make the best the decision for them. ✌🏼
