Customer Reviews New Balance M990V4

NB, the only company that makes a shoe that I can wear all the first day. Thanks

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

As always, shoe laces too long, but other than that happy with fit and wear

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.

Great shoe, great customer service, but could use more color options

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.

These shoes fit my foot like the proverbial glove and provide great support. I did order a half size up.

I went with this shoe this time around specifically because of the promotion that it is for plantar fasciitis - I have difficult feet. The size is true, I wear 10.5 4E, but the long term comfort is shorter than with a 10mm drop in my particular case. After a few hours of use in these sneakers my feet are fatigued - and hot. Although I like the initial comfort I will likely try another model next time.

NB LIFER - Walking on concrete all day can really wear your body down, these shoes really help me. Please make more colors for width 2E size 10. I have 2 pairs and want more colors!!!

I love the 990"s but the old design had more of the swade over the toes, the mesh is tearing at the big toe and has holes in them. otherwise great shoes
