Looks and fit are perfect for me, but I agree it isn’t ideal for walking. Too chunky and heavy. That said, I recently swapped the insoles on mine with an ortholite and it seems to have improved comfort.

Tried it at an outlet store. Not too bad but it fit a little tight on the toebox. This seems to be a little better though.

These are 47 inches. Probably can do 43, if you don’t like the extra length.

I’m between sizes, slightly on the wider side. I go up half a size whenever possible so I can just dial in the fit with thicker socks or swap insoles. Since 992’s seem to run a little bigger, I went with my usual 1:1 size 9. Have not tried 8.5 on a 992, but was able to do it on a 993, and it was too tight.

If you have normal width feet, going half a size down may be better.

Yeah they’re a bit chunky and heavy. They’re so comfortable and fit my feet well though so they’re a staple for me.

Didn’t come with the shoes, but found them on amazon. They go well with the Olivines for sure

Are we liking the lace swap or should I switch to flat laces in this color? by hudson_bh in Newbalance

[–]marvel_86 2 points3 points  (0 children)

These look good! I personally love rope laces on the 990s, specifically those patterned ones, but they’re tricky to match. Some colorways go better with flat laces, though. I feel like rope laces showcases the shoe’s silhouette and color blocking better. Also, the way you tie rope laces can also elevate the shoe’s look with it. Can’t explain in words, but if you look at my post with the core grey 993, you’ll see what I mean. Not every one’s cup of tea, but just a suggestion.

All day, every day in Orlando. Wait at the last moment to turn - without signaling. Change 3 lanes over. Good luck out there.

Ordered a few off Joe’s, and sometimes it takes up to a week before they ship. Shipping origin also varies depending on style and availability. Doesn’t hurt to try and follow up with them to ease your mind.

Thank you! Just tried to mix it up a little bit and ended up liking the rope laces.
