Lmao. I had to do the same thing due to a wide toebox/midfoot. That is only because they don't offer a 12.5 which I need. I can wear a 990v3 or v4 in a 12 no problem even though im a tts 12.5. But the 991v2s I have to go with a 13 since there is no 12.5. Same issue with the 990v6 in Teddy Santis models. They dont offer a 12.5. The GR colors like the Grey, Black, and Navy pair are offered in a 12.5 and multiple widths which help tremendously.
finally have that dazzling blue, went tts and they are tight even after 5 wears :( i still prefer the 990v6 for comfort but i definitely prefer the looks/style of 991v2
They used a different mesh material for the dazzling blue colorway. It’s a little stronger than the other meshes they use. Give it a few more wears and they should be perfect!
I just got my 991v2 in the mail. I went TTS and I'm happy with the fit. However, I noticed that the insole by the heel is kind of rigid. I try to smooth it with my finger and cant. Is this typical? Should i return them? Or does it smooth out over time? Sometimes I can feel the edge of the insole with my heel.
That’s very interesting, I’ve never heard of that. If you ordered them from new balance I would say you should contact them and see if you can get a new pair of insoles or trade in the shoes. I hope you can get it figured out!
Thanks. I took out the insole and see it's just wrinkled on the heel edges. Deciding not a big deal, and shoe fits great. You'd just think for that kinda money theyd be flawless. Will take your advice and at least see if they'd send replacement insoles
Hey mate! I 100% agree. I bought the 990v6 half a size down and it was the right choice. Received my 991v2 this week true to size and they are next level comfortable. Straight out of the box they hit me differently in terms of softness. The material quality inside this shoe is just unmatched. The gel feeling of walking just wow. Recommend to everyone! Best buy of my life!!
That’s what makes the 991v2 so amazing, the comfort is unmatched from the second you take it out of the box. I agree, they are also the Best Buy of my life, I’m glad you love them!
As someone who has a bunion the 991v2s are way more narrow feeling than the 990v6 I would go TTS in the 991v2 and half a size down in 990v6. Also I was able to cop the blue silver pair debating on keeping them clean to resell them lol.
Great video! Loving the focus on NB
Appreciate it!
I'm definitely gonna get these eventually. Their at the top of my list. I'm loving the 990 v6 as for right now.
The 990v6 and the 991v2 is the best sneaker duo I’ve ever had
You know you love the V5 the best haha
There will always be a special place in my heart for the v5 🤣. Also thank you so much for letting me know about the music in this video!
I had to size up .5 on these due to having a wider foot. Tried true to brannock in store and it was like chinese foot binding

I have a wide foot and I took the TTS - very comfortable. Foot 29 cm, size 12US
I’m glad the true to size fits! Enjoy your pair!

@@samdopkosky i see. will try a few more wears and put shoe trees and see if they make a difference. shame, since it's my new favorite model
great video, apreciate it!. i wear a size 8 us on NB574, should i get the same size on the 991s? thanks
Yes go the same size!
Personal experience on the V1 is that it is tight on the forefoot area. More than I like it as compared to 990s
Good to know! Thanks!!

If I am wearing Nike 8us, should I go for 8us on new balances as well or go half down?
I would go with your true to size 8
Almost pulled the trigger on the “cocoa mocca” for a good deal. Almost. Regretting it now
The thing about the 991v2 is if you miss out on a good pair, there’s always going to be a better colorway coming out
The 991's are the most comfortable shoes I ever put on my feet.
I couldn’t agree more
Do you have any 991v1 and review them between 991v1 and v2? Thanks.
I don’t have a pair of v1s yet but I plan on getting a pair very soon!
My dazzling blue 991s arrive tomorrow. I’m still salty the silver blue 991s haven’t restocked…
Enjoy those dazzling blues! I’m pretty upset about the blue and silvers too, hopefully soon
I have a wide foot should be take size up .5?
I think that would be the best bet
In what sense is the 991v2 more comfortable than the 990v6?
The 991v2 is a more gel comfort, gets more comfortable as you walk. The v6 is an instant pillow cloud comfort
As someone who has a bunion the 991v2s are way more narrow feeling than the 990v6 I would go TTS in the 991v2 and half a size down in 990v6.

The 991v2 blue and silver is the best color way in my opinion!
