Are these still what 20-yr-old frat guys are wearing? If so, then I'm going to buy a pair.

These are the shoes my podiatrist recommended for people with flat feet. They were expensive but are pretty solid.

I do. Or maybe 993's. Seems like they came out backwards

Randy wears them too because I taught him good taste

I have those exact shoes and they smell to high heaven after about 3 months of wearing them every other day or so. I can only use them for exercise now

Why are they $155?

Last pair I bought were the Marine Corps colors.


I don't remember paying $150+ for them though. Think it was $130-140.

Are they made to be a running shoe?

You serious? Absolutely. Think I remember an article calling them the Mercedes Benz of running shoes.

I have had at least 5-6 pairs of these shoes, starting with the original 990s. I think I still have them all in varying degrees of wear somewhere around the house. This post has me thinking that maybe I'll have to pull the trigger and get the newes the revision. Probably the best shoe out there.

I've had about 5 pairs since high school and I'm 26.

They're frickin badass and I wear exclusively with mid calf socks.

I have wide feet so I was wearing New Balance before New Balance was cool. Once I started wearing these I've never worn anything else. 999, 992, 993, etc.
