- How do the 991, 9060, 530 and 2002R differ?
- The 991 is the most structured and premium, the 2002R balances cushioning and a sleeker profile, the 530 is the lightest and closest to a running shoe, and the 9060 is the chunkiest and most fashion-led.
- Do these New Balance sneakers run true to size?
- Fit varies by model. Many owners say the 530 and 9060 run small and narrow, so sizing up half a size is common, while the 991 and 2002R are closer to true to size.
- Are they good for running?
- No. These are lifestyle sneakers with foam or EVA midsoles built for walking and casual wear, not for distance running.
- Are they waterproof?
- No. The standard versions use mesh, suede and textile uppers that breathe well but let water in. Look for a Gore-Tex version if you need weather protection.
- What is the difference between the 2002R and the 991?
- The 2002R uses N-ergy and ABZORB cushioning in a lighter, lower-profile package, while the 991 has a firmer, more supportive ride and a more premium build.
