Came back to New Balance, and these are a great classic NB shoe. Have been trying different manufacturers and styles, and there are some shoes as good as this pair, but these are the best so far for me. Don't use them for running,, so no comment on that, but for daily wear they are great. Even wore them to church this morning, wasn't going to go with anything that wasn't as comfortable and the all black looked just fine. It could be you get what you pay for.

Buy these for my husband when his old ones get worn. They're nice looking (invisible), and he loves them. FYI he's impossible with shoes so these must be comfortable. Probably buy them once per year or two. He wears them for casual wear.

The New Balance 990v4 is one of the few shoes that fit my weird (size 13 AAA) feet well. I have flat feet and had to wear special made shoes as a child.
The podiatrist said I would never be able to wear sneakers. I am grateful he was wrong but I do try to buy shoes that correct for over-pronation. Zappos is the place to go for these challenges. I appreciate their selection as well as their free return policy because I never know about how new shoes will feel until I try them on and walk around. I am an active and competitive 69 year-old. I played basketball in high school, racquet sports in my 20s and 30s, volleyball in my 40s and 50s and have recently discovered and enjoy pickleball. I have previously worn New Balance 990v2 and 1540v2, Asics GT-2000, and Brooks Addiction. All of these have worked well for me and I have used them until they were worn out but I think that I like the 990v4 the best. I bought the navy blue version. The style is attractive. The fit, including arch support placement, is very good for me. The 990v4 sole is supposed to be for running but the traction is okay for both cement and wooden pickleball surfaces. I do wish I could find a shoe that fit me this well that had a sole specifically designed for court surfaces. I am also a part-time white water raft guide so if you need a good water shoe with a very grippy sole then I suggest Astral Brewers.

Great shoe. This is the second pair in about 3 years. Yes I am hard on shoes. The fit was great out of the box.. Wish that they made this style of shoe in a narrower size.

Would have liked a bit more arch support, bu that is what inserts are for. Other than that, a great pair of shoes. I'll get them again...with a set of arch support insoles.

I was looking for a relatively light-weight running shoe in all black. Fit and size were just right - men's 8, EE width. I have only worn them around the house so far to make sure they fit properly, and they do. I hope they will hold up. If they do, I'll buy a few more - before they change the style.

Don't know any other brands that offer shoes in AAAA to AA width. New Balance does in AA width.

The New Balance M990V4 felt very supportive on my feet and will be a welcomed addition to my closet! First time I have purchased a black pair.
Will waterproof for protection and upkeep! No odor.

I just bought this pair to replace an older New Balance model that seems to have gone out of production. My husband usually can wear New Balance and finds them true to size in all directions. He loves these new shoes and I am glad New Balance makes such a great product.

This is a beautiful and unique 990 that I am proud to add to my collection. A very stylish shoe that is perfect for casual warm weather wear. Much too attractive to wear for running! It is a NB 990 so all the accolades that have been been written apply to the angora model. Yes, it is heavier and more bulky than sleek running shoes like the 890 but it has a classic character that the sleek speed models can’t match. I own many pairs of 990’s, both production and custom designs, but this shoe is eye catching in the midst of all others. Purchase a pair while they are available. You will be glad you did.

i wear the new balance 990's myself and bought this pair for my son, who is an adult with Down Syndrome. he is VERY difficult to fit as his feet are quite short and almost as wide as they are long. New Balance is the only company i've found that can fit him, and comfortable shoes are really an important part of keeping him active and healthy.

keens are also good for short wide feet when you need a pair of sandals for summer

Been wearing this style for several years. Comfortable. Good arch support. Helps with my foot pronation. Great for everyday wear. Looks professional when I have meetings. Good looking shoe.
