This shoe has a defined heart cup which has helped me remain pain free.

NB 990v4 feels very comfortable. There is no break in needed as they are comfortable and supportive from the start. This is my second pair and I highly recommend this style.

I compared the Big Kid's size 4 W with the Women's size 5.5 W, as they both were listed as being intended for a foot with the same length. Both shoes fit me well. Some differences (besides the price difference of $65): the kid's shoe has fewer lacing holes and uses a wider shoe lace. The sole is thicker and padding is thicker on the adult shoe (so you are slightly taller in the adult shoe than in the kid's), and the adult shoe is slightly longer. I will try keeping the kid's size shoe and see how it works out for me. (I am an adult woman with small feet.)

Love the look of this shoe and style, but not enough arch support at all.

I have had problems with my feet most of my life. I have had surgeries and done stretches and tried basically every shoe you can think of but still I had pain. I went to a New Balance store and got on that shoe fit machine. This is the shoe that it recommended for me! I am on my 3rd pair, and I absolutely love them! I have no pain in my feet and legs, and I can walk and do the things I enjoy without worrying about how bad my feet will hurt the next day!

These are great shoes especially for wide feet. I needed to go up a full size though.

This is my fourth pair of the 990 series in seven years. I ordered four pair of NB (different styles) this time to see how they compare (returning two). By far, these are my favorite. They are comfortable, well-cushioned, provide support and stability. And they look great! My foot is narrow and the 2A is a perfect fit. Like most running shoes, order up a size from your regular shoe size. I wear 5.5 -6, but order 6.5 in running shoes. Sticking with this shoe.

I walk everywhere possible within a 2+ miles radius of home and need supportive, stable and cushioned shoes. These new NB 990s are excellent. Only issue is tongue lacking-slit is a bit tight, but expect it to loosen over time.

These are the only shoes that fit me. I have the hardest foot to fit. I have a wide foot but what is unique about my width is that the back part of my outside foot is wide. The part closer to my heel. And I have little to no arch. But my talas bone is really high (the top part of my foot above my arch.)
I was so happy to see that they come in more than grey and black. In fact, you can costume make them with various color choices.

These run a half size small. I wear a size 7 but bought a 7.5 fit is perfect. Very comfortable and very supportive while looking great too!

This is the third pair of the same color and model of the shoe and I hope that you never stop making them, otherwise I will have to buy four more pairs now.

I love the look of the shoe! The size of the shoe is very slightly shorter. It still fits but compared to other NB's, I feel it might be a tad shorter. It would not be a problem unless your toes were up against another pair. It's very comfortable. I put them on and forgot about them. They look great with my jeans.

This shoe is the only shoe for me. It has always worked. If NB tweaks this shoe in any way, I can't tell it. I love the v4. I bought this shoe a year ago and it works for me. I have chondromalacia in both knees and a little arthritis from years of running and loving every minute of it. I'm now power walking 3 miles per day and these shoes provide excellent support. I wear custom sports orthotics and I have a hard time finding the right shoe to fit the orthotics. My regular shoe size is a 7.5 but my NB shoe is a 9D to fit the orthotics. It fits perfect. Because of the dark outline of the shoe, my foot does not look wide. Excellent shoe for me.

This shoe is the best shoe I've ever worn. It supports my foot and ankle and I feel like I am gripping the ground. Supports my foot and ankle. Great arch support. Extremely comfortable. This is the only shoe for me!

I really wanted to like this shoe. It is a nice looking shoe and VERY comfortable. But with my big feet ( size 10 women's) they were just too clunky. I sent them back.

I just purchased my 990s last weekend in black and I love them! Both my parents have plantar fasciitis, so naturally I began having problems with my feet at an early age. When I was first fitted I was given a pair of 860s and a pair of 1260s, but I felt like I still needed some more stability. Then they brought out the 990s, and I have to say these shoes offer the best support and are super comfortable. I also purchased the Motion Control Insoles which offer great arch support for my flat feet. Needless to say I am a very happy camper with these shoes. The only thing I would like to suggest is to add more colors to this series. I purchased black because it will go with almost anything, but I would like to purchase more "hip" color combinations like the ones offered in the 860 and 1260 series.

I have bunions and custom orthotics and am thrilled that these shoes FIT! The 6.5 D is a great fit for me....in other shoes I would need to go up either a half or a full size.
