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.

The build quality, materials and appearance of this pair of shoes is outstanding. The fit is very good but not great. I believe the shoes are true to size, but there was some pressure, initially, on my left big toe. It's improving with wear. Arch support is acceptable. I little more would be great. They are expensive. I got them for a bit less than the price shown, but I wish "Made In USA" wasn't so expensive. I intend to buy another pair in blue.

My son needs form fitting shoes with extra stability control. He also has a wide foot and high instep. This is the only show we've found that works for him. My only complaint would be they are pricy and never go on sale so I spend a ridiculous amount of money on sneakers every year.

Still too long shoe laces that I have to double knot or walk on the new laces ruining the ends. This has been a problem for years and NO fix

I have worn multiple pairs of every version of this shoe. The 990v4 is a little narrower that past shoes. I had to move to a wide shoe, but can still wear the D in prior versions. It is much improved over the 993 and the horrible 990v3 that had the short tongue and a graphite piece in the sole that cracked easily and smelled every time it got wet. The version 4 offers good stability in the heel. After 3 pairs of the version 4 (about to order my 4th) I found that the sole still compresses and wears quickly. The shoe is also badly in need of a design update. NB makes too many cheaper shoes with similar design and has not done more than tweek this design in several decades.

I dropped nearly $200.00 for 990V4, Great shoe, well built, supportive. They run a bit big. I intended to return them for smaller size, I could not get a response from customer service for an RMI. Three weeks later I receive the standard computer drafted response.Customer Service is either the first contact a buyer might speak to for advice-or if there's an issue the last contact a customer might speak with. Either way the New Balance Customer service rep, has two chances to tarnish the company, they often do.

This is a nice shoe overall. It does have modest arch support built in. It fits and feels nice right out of the box. I got the "Navy with Silver" color, and the only difference from the stock photo is that the clear plastic piece in the back has a yellowish tint to it; not sure why that is.

Great shoe overall. Looks great been waiting for this in my size. Not 5 star bc I can't lace all the way up or these tend to hurt around my foot where the first/last/top (depending on how you look at it) eyelet is laced. This is not the only NB shoe that does this but for my flat feet NB does the best and I can live with one eyelet short. As for true to size as far as I can tell its true. I have one foot a tad bit longer so have to get a size up.

Well, I'm not a runner, and can't imagine using these as running shoes. For my purpose, which is occasional casual wear when it's not raining, these shoes are just great. I love the fact that they are made in the USA. I've had continuing comfort problems since a really bad foot infection a few years ago, and these are as comfortable as any I own. IMHO, they also look great.
I'd also recommend:
Mephisto, maybe

I bought these for my stepdad for Fathers' Day and he really loved them. He was wishing they came in brighter, more "fun" colors for his size but he did love them. He said they were really comfortable.
