I have them both. I have the mid-cuts in the 995s.

More stability and lighter weight in the 995s. Not as much cushioning, however. The traction is expectedly a little better with the turf soles. I love them.

I would suggest that you go a little wider than with the 350s. I am somewhere between the D and the EE normally in the NBs. I have both widths in the 350s, and the EE is a little loose. I got the EE in the 995s and they are barely wide enough.

If I were to make a blanket analysis: I would say that the 350 is a comfort shoe, and the 995 is a performance shoe (it's actually a football shoe). They should make both, really. I actually sometimes wear the 350s just for the comfort. I even wear them around occasionally. But for sheer support and lightweight performance, the 995 is the one. And it's beautiful.

Tough call; they're quite different.
