I needed a pair for this season and bought the 995s. Little did I remember that my *football* shoes from last season (that I loved) were the same model, just with a silver N. So now I have 2 pair.

Since I have wussy feet and....
I sometimes work up to 7 games in a day in the summer I will go with more comfort and padding. Thanks for the in-depth facts and comparison.

Sometimes I ask myself why? (or WTFIWWY? What The F Is Wrong With You?) but for the most part I enjoy the games and the partners I get to work with-My son for one (He's 22 now) and my good friends J.T., Harvey, Steve and one of my former players, Chris. I especially like seeing the younger umpires get better (my son and Chris-they were teammates from t-ball through high school) and just being with other umpires who enjoy baseball and umpiring as much as I do (JT, Harvey and Steve).
It is insane but it keeps me out of trouble and relatively thin. I wouldn't recommend it for everyone (okay for anyone but this is coming from a guy who used to jump from perfectly good airplanes).

If the baseball is good, I could be out there sunup to sundown. Better than being at work.

I have both the 350's and the 995's.
As others have said, they are completely different shoes. I find the 350's to be much more comfortable and my feet feel much better after games than when wearing the 995's. It makes you wonder why New Balance stopped making them.
