I have been wearing many different styles and sneaker types from New Balance for over 30 years and I have never been disappointed. The quality and fit are superior, that along with Zappos excellent customer service can't be beat. These are great running shoes for my needs, I average about 20 to 25 miles a week on different surfaces and they have been perfect.

These New Balance 990s are extremely comfortable. They are well-built, tough, and pleasing to the eye. They are the best. I have worn other brands (briefly), but find that New Balance is a better shoe.

The shoe is supportive and comfortable but not very stylish. What my kids call an “old man shoe” but this was better than an all white pair with a big Velcro strap!

My husband has worn the 1540 in 12 4E, but this shoe in 4E was much too narrow. He went to a store to try the 6E and it still was too narrow! Very different toe shape than the 1540. Plus, it runs big in length - you might have to go down a half size. The Brooks Ghost 11 has a great wide toe box in 4E, so he is using that one for road running. It's softer than the NB 1540.

Wish this could add a 2-E width to give additional comfort

First, I have to order men's sneakers to accomodate my big wide feet and even bigger orthotics (for arch support). They are super comfy! I think they may run a tiny bit longer than the 880 but I wouldn't say a half size larger. They may prove to be a bit too wide for me as I use them, but we'll see. I could wear them right out of the box so I think that says a lot. I wore them hiking about 7 miles only a week after breaking them in and my feet felt fine. And BTW, how nice to have color choices other than the typical mens' black or grey (yawn). I got the seafoam green color and LOVE it.

The best bang for your buck shoe in the footwear industry. The NB 990 is the gold standard of footwear. I've had Mephisto shoes that are twice to three times the price and they don't compare in quality and comfort. New Balance's technology and quality on the 990 are ahead of the game. I hope they never conform and keep making these shoes the same way they always have.

My husband usually wears a 4E in New Balance, but this model is much narrower than a 4E. The 1540 in 4E is great. So, we're going to a New Balance store to try a 6E in this 990. It is softer than the 1540, which he needs for road surface walking/running.

I wear size 9 1/2 or 10 and have huge orthotics (I have no arch), but the orthotics fit great in these men's sneakers and they're comfortable right out of the box! Nice look and I love the color too (got the seafoam green). Hope they treat me as well on my long walks as they have so far around the house. Highly recommend for people with wide feet who may need extra space due to ortho issues.

Fit was better than expected. I'm always a little nervous about purchasing online (even with free return shipping, it's still a pain) without trying the shoes on. But with New Balance, I've never had a problem. This model changed a little, but the comfort, feel and materials are perfect. Best price with Zappos!

I highly recommend Zappos and these New Balance shoes. I have a terrible time finding shoes wide enough and with enough arch support. I've tried other (cheaper) shoes and they did not measure up. I will continue to purchase shoes from Zappos.

Terrific fit and comfort. I only buy New Balance for athletic shoes because of the superior support. I don't think you can go wrong with this shoe.

Whether you are in the gym, in the field or at home the 990v4 's most comfortable, stylish, holds up over time, reasonably priced for its quality athletics shoe. I've been a fan for years.

My husband loves this brand; and this style in particular. He has flat feet, and sneakers are hard to fit. This is the second pair in this style he has had me order for him. They wear well. Happy husband--happy wife.

I've worn New Balance for running since the 80's, when the brand was recommended by my physician, who's also an Iron Man triathlete. I've ordered through Zappo's because of their prices and fast shipping.
