Customers really like the 997R for its clean, streamlined look that works well with jeans, chinos, and other casual outfits. Comfort is a big plus here, with several customers calling them super comfortable and supportive for all-day wear. The shoes also seem to get plenty of compliments and are seen as a great-looking, versatile New Balance option. Overall, they appear to run true to size for most customers.

Perfect Casual Sneakers
October 9, 2025Love the streamlined look. However, the toe box is a bit narrower than typical for New Balance, which is not an issue for me. Looks great with jeans or chinos.

Good pair of shoes
July 28, 2025Love how they look and feel. I felt they ran a little small in the toe box though. I do have feet that are just under E width vs standard D width, so that could be it.

Great pair of sneakers
July 3, 2025I saw them in the store while I was on vacation, but didn't want to struggle with the luggage, as soon as I got home, I ordered them, they are amazing, you can wear them with jeans or pants and look good, this new balance shape is pretty cool. Thanks
