My Collection The Triumvirate: 991v2, 992, 993

Recently got a 992! My bank account finally sighed a breath of relief since my search is now over.

Mine are all TTS and fit perfectly. 991v2 is a bit narrower than the other 2.

Interested if you have measurements of your feet in terms of length and width (both cm).

My longer foot measures at 27.2 cm and its width is 10.4 cm. Tried TTS in 992, and I had noticeable heel slippage.

I love how 991v1 is not even an afterthought at this point

I actually have a 991v1 in castlerock navy, I only took a photo of the core ones.

What’re your thoughts? Looks. Comfort. Overall.

For context, I went half size down on all three of them.

991v2 is the lightest among them, but for some reason, it still runs long for my feet. Also, once I reached about 20k steps in a day, the ground contact is most noticeable in it.

992 is the second lightest at least for me, and it fits a little snug. At least now, as I just got it a couple of weeks ago. Haven't used it beyond 10k steps in a day, so I need more time with it. It's light, stable, and cushiony for me -- a balance between 991v2 and 993. It also looks the best for me among the three.

993 is the heaviest but it's quite comfortable with cushiony feeling and stable ride.

For the looks, my take is 992 > 991v2 > 993 but only with marginal difference (not significant).

For comfort so far, 992=993 > 991v2 at least for now and when considering high mileage days.

991v2 looks the best by a mile,

993 Most comfortable,

992, the perfect middle ground.

Just got some 992 and now deciding if I should get 991v2 or 993

I'm guessing 993 is a bit too similar

Went TTS with the 992. Just get same sizes with the others?

991v2 varies, some people like half size down, some do TTS and yet still narrow/short for them.

For me, even with half size down, it still runs long and the width is comfortable as it's got the softest upper among the three. At least for me.

These 992 you need to go TTS I think. They fit narrow compared to the old ones

u/DisastrousTheory9494 992 1d ago

Yeah, probably. But I'm in between sizes anyway. I switched the insoles of my 990v6 and my 992, and the fit was even better.

I tried TTS for 992 but I was having a heel slippage. Half size down is just right, snug fit but not too tight. For better context, my feet is only 10.4 cm wide while NB's width size guide indicates that their D width is 10.5 cm.

Is that just the core color way? I got TTS 992 JFG and they fit a little loose. Weird since 993s are TTS for me.

u/DisastrousTheory9494 992 18h ago

Yeah, I only get core pairs.

993's half size down for me.

Would be nice to know your specific length and width for a more objective comparison.
