I purchased 2 pairs because after trying the first for a few weeks, I can do 50% more distance without much pain from my mild bunions. This shoe is a bit heavy, but man does it care for your feet.
This will probably be my go to shoe from this point on. Love the 6E width.

This pair is a gift for my husband to replace his old 990. Don't need time to break in.

These replaced my 990v3 pair and were enthusiastically approved by my podiatrist {he even sells his house brand shoes, does triathlons, etc.} for my several conditions.
The comfort level is the best ever, and I extend my walk/jog routine accordingly. Uphill and down, either side of the crowned pavement, I do enjoy them.

First, a comment on the quality:
Incredibly nice shoes. The shock absorption has a nice profile of give and rebound. The grip is excellent. The venting is excellent. The eyelets are strong. There are adequate-but-not-excessive reflector strips. The suede adds the appropriate amount of structure. The laces will probably need to be replaced frequently - they are "standard" thin cotton - not an issue.
Next, a comment on sizing:
You should be very cautious when sizing these shoes. I have worn various New Balance Trail Running shoes for years. These shoes appear to be standard sizing when walking casually on carpet, but the way they flex and stretch under pressure makes them behave as though they were much larger. Coupled with the smooth venting interior this is leading to quite a bit of internal foot movement, especially on hills. The suede will also stretch over time and use (the mesh not nearly as much). I suggest ordering down 1/2 to a full size, and making sure they are just shy of uncomfortably snug on your foot.
I've been ordering shoes from Zappos for 19 years now. What a terrific company.

From the minute you open the box, you can just see the quality of material and workmanship. They are so much better than shoes made overshoes. More expensive, but the quality is so good.
Thanks for making in USA

True to form New Balance, always a quality shoe. They are a bit spendy, but well worth the price.

I have been wearing the NB990v3 for many years now. When I heard this shoe was coming I had to try it. The tongue no longer slides down like the v3 and the new support on the bottom holds up worlds better than the carbon fiber on the v3. By far my favorite shoe. Can go wrong with the comfort, durability and looks of this sneaker.

I had bilateral knees done 7 years ago. I started cardiac rehab almost 2 years ago and have continued doing Cardio at a local gym. Just bought my 2nd pair of these shoes because the 1st one's we're so comfortable and my legs didn't hurt at all. Just a GREAT SHOE!

Got a pair of 990s in mid 2016, they are still in great condition, excellent durability, except some normal wear and tear.

These shoes felt amazing the moment I put them on my feet. The shoes give me so much support walking around campus and weightlifting at the gym. You can tell the qualify and I love they are made in the USA.

By far the best shoe made. You get what you pay for. I had a problem with a previous pair of 990's, and NB stood behind their product and made it right. True stand up company. Thank you for making a 100% made in the USA pair of dependable shoes.

These are amazing shoes for my husband who has a very wide foot (6E). This is his second pair. The original pair was fitted at the store on Hawthorne Blvd. in Torrance. Great service and staff. Thank you!

The 990v4 is the best most comfortable shoes I have ever had. I bought a pair in every color. I have terrible feet from poor surgery. The orthotics fit perfectly in them. Wonderful shoes.

I have been having trouble with pain in both heels. These athletic shoes have enough cushioning to relieve that pain. I can now get through an entire day without the crippling pain I was having.

Great shoe. I only wish more colors were available. I'm a very narrow 2A and finding quality shoes in various styles and colors is extremely difficult. I think New Balance is the last company to even offer 2A widths. I'm very grateful. My son is also a 2A.
