Customer Reviews New Balance M990V4

It seems shoes are being made more narrow these days. I ordered the 11 wide and it fits. There is room for the fifth toe. Definitely old man looking but...

I just ordered my second pair of NB 990V4 from Zappos. I really appreciate that they come in widths because my narrow foot does not work with some shoes. These New Balance 990 work great for me. I bought a pair from Zappos about 1 1/2 years ago and I use them for walking. These are the replacement pair and they fit great. Most important, Zappos is the best place to order shoes and boots online. I have ordered a number of shoes and hiking boots from them over the last few years. Outstanding customer service and I was amazed at how quickly they came. Thank you!

My husband loves these shoes. He's been wearing New Balance for years. He has to walk a lot at work. I got him the black ones so when his feet are hurting, he can wear them on event days. So glad they are in black!

This was my second pair of 990s. I wore out the others by using them for everything from Sunday-go-to-meeting shoes to fishing and yard work. Great shoes!

good~

Simply the best

Sized up one size and they fit great.

These are very nice running shoes. I was getting these or a pair of Brooks. The Brooks were a little lighter, not much but the New Balance I bought are working great. Just ran Tulsa Route 66 Marathon and felt excellent. Will most definitely buy another pair when these wear out!

After a podiatrist's full xrays and exam for heel pain due to feet that have flattened over time, he prescribed wearing New Balance "900 series or higher." B width is impossible to find outside of an actual NB retailer. Zappos offered my size and width at a great price so I tried them. VERY glad I did. Heel pain gone. Most comfortable footwear I've ever owned. No break-in time needed, great right out of the box. Fit true to size. I go back to the doc tomorrow to get fitted for expensive custom orthotics for dress shoes, but when not doing business I wear these. Yesterday I ordered a second pair strictly for constant in-home wear. They will replace the shearling-lined bison moccasins I currently wear indoors. In these shoes I have never felt more sure-footed. Grippy soles even in rain and snow and ice all of which got tested last week in a major storm here. You don't roll side-to-side when walking as in other shoes. Light, look great. Should've gone to a doctor years ago. This MD fit soldiers for custom orthotics in the Vietnam war, has earned every accolade and certification there is - and he himself exclusively wears New Balance 990s. He buys every new model they come out with, wears them, and said they offer nothing better than the 990s. He also tries other brands. Believe the positive reviews - these running shoes can't be beat. Nor can Zappos. Best customer service, pricing and value anywhere, been using Zappos now for years, but also Sacks Fifth Ave, Neiman-Marcus, Cole-Haan, Amazon and others. Zappos beats them all in every factor resulting in Easiest To Deal With #1 in my experience. Fastest too.

I already had a pair of these in grey, which was all the NB store near me had when I bought them last June. I have been using them a lot running/jogging/walking 15 plus miles per week, and I think it is a good idea to replace running/jogging/walking shoes every six months or so. These are worth the price as I find them to very supportive and have not had any issues with my previous pair. I have already put some mileage on these and the "break in" period seems much shorter since I was already in a pair of these and my feet felt natural in them. I would use a thicker sock not the thinnish ones that people seem to prefer these days. I personally go with the Thorlo socks. If you feel with your finger tips under the sole insert, there is a ridge of material around the edge of the shoe that you might feel when you run with thinner socks. The first two times I went out with these I thought there was a fold in my sock or a stone in my shoe, but it was that ridge of material that I was feeling. The thicker socks took care of that for me, but it might just be because I am a clydesdale runner - you little skinny runners may not feel a thing! I love this shoe all that being said and will be ordering another pair in 6 months. Zappos is great with quick shipping, a great returns policy and customer service. And I have yet to find that they would be out of a size or color that I want - the blue version of these shoes is much cooler looking that the grey ones.

These were a replacement pair after unexpected crumbling of the midsole in the right heel on a pair I’d worn less than two months. By contrast, I still have the first pair of 990’s I bought in early 2017. Apart from understandably losing some of their support, they’ve stood up admirably. Hats off to Zappos for replacing the second pair at no charge. Hoping the midsole failure was a fluke, because this model New Balance fit/feel great on my wide feet.

Great fit !! I was wearing 1080's and I really liked those but these are much more comfortable (and cost more as well). I have a 10/4E size and it's really hard to find sneakers. Unfortunately in my size the color choices aren't great but this is my second pair and I get great support and they are very comfortable. I don't run at all but I walk a lot (about 7 miles a day) and my feet feel great. This will definitely be my go to sneakers now !!
