This guide may not work for the Asian-made 996 models and/or the MiUSA 996 models that released before 2023.Â
The 996 has a bigger toe box area.
Go down half a size from your true size. (ie: I am a true size 9.5, so I buy my 996s in a size 9.)
The latest 996s do NOT come in wider or narrower widths.

Cushioning (Softness): 5/10
Stability (Firmness): 6/10
Cushioning to Stability Ratio: 5:6

The 996 has a good mix of both softness and firmness, but does favor firmness. The midsole shape is average, as it is relatively flat.
