I use this product both for everyday wear and for running about 10 miles per week. The things I like best it is allows me to have an option to buy a product that is made in the U.S. I also like the comfort and cushioning it provides. The thing I like least about this product is that the top mesh tends to wear through within a short amount of time. In my opinion the front toe cap does not come back far enough on the top of the shoe. My last pair which was a different model (the fresh foam) wore through in about two months. I had a previous pair of 990's which did the same thing but not as quick. The 990's have durability but has a worn look too quickly. I would like to have the "toe" extend back another three-quarters of an inch to give the shoe the ability to look aesthetically pleasing during the entire length of the shoes life span.

Great shoe. Now make a 990 to honor the American flag.

This sneaker is a solid sneaker that looks like it'll last for many years. It's a heavy sneaker that'll be good to wear in colder weather.

I really don't know how they feel. I tried them on and they were to big. Going to exchange them for a size smaller.

Out of the box looked great. Insoles were very thin and cheap. Disappointed for amount paid for shoes. Swapped in aftermarket insoles.

Very comfortable and stylish shoe. Would have gave it 5 stars but came with a little scuff on heel, not enough to send back though. Feels very comfortable walking or running.

I've been wearing these shoes every day for the past couple of weeks. They are so comfortable and solid. Made in America too.

The shoes are great and these of the only double N narrow shoes made by any manufacturer in casual shoes. Unfortunately there were only 2 colors to choose from. Additionally there was no place my enter my name and email so that I could purchase another paiir or two when other colors came online. This means I have to continually check the new balance inventory to Determine if additional shoes were manufactured. Please create a backorder list. Excellent shoes and perfect width just enough choices..

Low cut is taking some getting used to. Aglet holes are a bit off-center and difficult to manage. Design is as good as I expected. Jury still out on comfort range as I'm 82 and breaking shoes in a few hours per day.

I have not had a chance to use these much, but the day I put them on I spent 9 hours in them and my feet were not sore at the end of the day. I am looking forward to doing some more running in them. They felt broke in as soon as I put them on.

The shoes fit and feel great. Especially after a few days of wear. The one drawback to comfort is the tongue and USA label which is oriented so that it does not flex with the top of my foot because it's interfering with the laces. I am hoping this goes away, but it's pretty noticeable.

I have a very difficult size shoe to fit (16AA) and New Balance is just about the only athletic shoe I can find in this size. The shoe is comfortable. I wish I could have gotten it in a different color but my only color choices were black or navy blue. I chose navy blue. The wife likes them too.

I have wide feet (4E) and these fit well. I like the style and feel of the 990. (I have purchased this style for many years now.) However, what I like most is how well they are made. I can count on these lasting a year (or more). After that, they may look tattered, but they still feel good and feel solid.

These sneakers are extremely comfortable. The style is very plain. Looking at the picture there is a bit of different shades of black but normal light they are all black. The exterior may easily collect dust but it’s nothing a brush can’t fix. The best part of them is that they are made right here in the USA! Keep America working. I plan on getting another pair for the summer.

Feels great on my feet. Lots of cushion. Very warm when walking outside in the cold. In the extreme cold tonight, I was pleasantly surprised how warm these shoes were. Made me walk an extra mile. Great for big men. Bought two pairs over rhe Christmas holidays. Thinking about buying a third.

Super comfortable shoe, I've had my current pair for 3 or 4 years and wear them a lot. The only problem is the sole smells like cat pee after awhile. I don't know if it's the rubber or adhesive or what. I wash them with bleach and detergent in the washing machine and the smell goes away, but returns after awhile. Other than that an excellent comfortable shoe and Made in USA.

If one has to spend a lot of standing and walking your feet will be very happy to be in New Balance 990.

The 990s are an excellent arch support shoe for overpronaters. This is my 4th pair and I buy a new pair each year. A running sho expert directed me to the 990s because I had a stress fracture in an arch and the 990s tend to empasize a heel strike first and then a rolling forward motion which decreases the puonding on the forward arch. These also support the inside of the arch area to decrease overpronation. They last very well as I run or power walk 2-3 miles 5-6 times a week.The toe box is wide which decreases rub on the inside of the big toe so less friction. I hope they keep making this model as they are the best at producing the assistance desribed above.

I have worn 990 for over a couple of decades now. It is the only shoe I wear. This model is all black so it makes a great shoe to go out anywhere

If you are a 4E you better get a 6E. These shoes are good but they run narrow. Also if you like them get 2 pair. The 6E(XX Wide) are sometimes hard to find available. 5 Stars if not running narrow.
