Customer Reviews New Balance M990V4

These new shoes do not seem to be giving me as much support as I am used to when starting a new pair. I have been using the 900 series forever it seems.

This running shoe is not like the regular other 990v4. It fits too long. I've been wearing 12D forever and these are too big. Also I could do an exchange. I actually had to return these shoes and then buy another pair.

I am a consistent user of New Balance shoes and will continue to wear them, but these were just not as comfortable as others that I have bought, especially for the money. I returned them.

old standard s are 100 X's better then new and improved

Shame NB doesn't have more options for people that have wider feet.

Shame NB doesn't have more options for people that have wider feet. It would also be awesome to have more color options for sole. Otherwise a great shoe

Did not seem to have the cushion of the 990 Heritage I presently wear. What is the comparable shoe?

What is happening at NB? Each new version of shoe seems worse than the previous one. I used to swear by New Balance, but I can't find a single running shoe that feels secure on my feet. My heel slips out on these (V4), but V3 were awesome. What a shame.

These run as most athletic shoes do a little small. I had to fit my NB one-half size larger than my dress or casual shoes. I customized this style and like the way it turned out; however, I am not please with their performance when speed walking. they seemed to give good support and comfort, but when I returned from a 2.5 mile walk my feet hurt. This is unusual for me and I have always been a buyer of NB shoes for walking and just plain athletic shoe wear. A few of their shoes I use for the speed walking and are all better for my feet than this pair. I have one pair that are not New Balance and it is ironic they are the most comfortable. the best walking shoes I have from NB are style 1540 purchased some few years ago in Black & White. They far surpass these shoes in foot comfort. These shoes would ear 5 stars from me.

Great quality show. On my feet then hours a day. Thought they would be a bit more comfortable.

First, let me say my biggest complaint on these is the new color scheme of black. I prefer the white over the black front soles. Wish they at least offered in white (like the blue version). I've worn NBs for 35 years. I have wide (4E) feet and love a large toe box. These fit well. Unlike many people who owned the V3s, I never had issue with the tongue sliding on them. I also felt the V3s actually lasted slightly longer than the V4. I'm not a runner, just wear them virtually daily and the V3s last me 9-12 months. The last pair I bought of the V3s I bought in mid-June 2017. They have a little life left. I bought them because I wasn't thrilled about the V4s that lasted about 7 months. Of course, basing longevity is unfair - you don't talk about tires in years vs. miles. Same with shoes. What I will say is that my V3s look way better than the V4's, especially after wearing them over 6 months.

Love this shoe, especially for its wide widths. The new Nubuck/mesh version isn't available other than in "D" width, alas.

The title of my review explains how I feel...these size 13 4e seem tighter and the insole seems less padded that the many many other 990 versions I have, This was a big disappointment since I waited a very long time to see these to again be available in ALL Black.

This particular pair seemed to run just a tiny wee tad small for my big feet (14EE) but the other 990's I've had were fine, not sure why this one pair felt different. Also NB excludes so many of their shoes from any promotions, this one included, that the price is a bit too high for what you get. On the plus side, it is made in America. I returned this particular pair of shoes.

I really loved the shoes but unfortunately the Toe Box is just to narrow .

The 990 series has always been a reliable and durable shoe, but to be honest, the Fresh Foam shoes are so light and give so much cushioning that they may be the new standard.

The shoe style is really great, but runs about a half-size too small. We were pleased to be able to exchange it at the local store.

Need wide width. Purchased 6E and it feels like 3E.

I shopped at NB since its NBeacon St. in the early 80s, please more 6EE's width options!
