I wear a 9.5 Narrow and this shoe fits perfectly to my size. It's very attractive and I strongly recommend it (even though it's pricey)!

I am a long-time fan of NB shoes (I pronate), so I was delighted to find this model. NB discontinued my fav standby (1260) and the replacement does not fit me as well. Good support for us pronators here!

I have worn New Balance sneakers for over twenty years because they are one of the only companies that offers narrow sneakers with stability. With narrow, over-pronating feet, these sneakers have been an excellent choice. The only downfall is the long tongue. I would prefer if it were about 3/4's of an inch shorter so it would not interfere with the drape of jeans.

Extremely comfortable, no break-in time at all. I usually wear Brooks Addiction but these feel nearly as stabilizing and even more cushioning. Nice and snug in the heel. My only complaint is they are fairly heavy. I wear orthotics.

For how much these shoes are, they are worth every penny. I am up on my feet all day long and my feet do not hurt one bit like they did when I was in either my Nikes or Under Armours. These shoes do not look old or ugly at all. They look very classy and I receive compliments on them everywhere I go. For any one who has feet problems or need an all around comfy shoe, this is the one. I plan on purchasing some more New Balance shoes as well. I am forever sold to New Balance!

I purchased these running shoes for walking long distances. So far my knees and feet feel supported with less pain. I have only had them a short time but plan on using them when I travel and have to walk a few miles every day.

I am totally happy with my New Balance 990v4 shoes. The fit, the quality, and they look so nice. What more can I say?? Love them.

These are the best running shoes I've owned so far. I have shin splints and neck problems, but there's been a noticeable improvement since I started running in those.

The most comfortable pair of athletic shoes I have ever owned. They felt perfect from the moment I put them on. I actually plan to buy another pair.

What I liked: quality materials made in USA, nice monotone colors.
What I would like: an all-leather shoe (no mesh). Only the men's shoe has that option. The smallest men's size was still too big, so I bought these. Nice looking shoe, not for supinators! would buy again

These shoes feel a bit stiff right now, as if I can't tie them tight enough. I'm guessing this will change over time, since I bought a similar pair of New Balance shoes earlier this year and they feel snug when I tie them now. I wear these shoes for indoor exercise, and they are getting the job done. The color combination (grey and pink) is pretty. There appears to be some reflective material on parts of the shoe (haven't seen this before with New Balance).

New Balance is one of the few shoe companies that does a true wide. These seem to have strong stability but, the sole is stiff and not as marshmallow as the Altras I just tried on. Oddly, they’ve put a lot of padding into the sides of the shoes, which makes the shoes and my feet look really large.

These seem so clunky compared to my worn out 1390s. Love the feel of them, but they seem heavy. They're well made shoes and I'm sure I'll enjoy them. They broke in easily enough and I do love the comfort. Wish I could have found something similar to the 1390 and more lightweight.

Do love these. Very supportive. Have plantar fasciitis and they have been s big help. Also very comfortable. One problem that took away a star was the heel. I am a power walker and the heel wears out far too quickly so the support is lost. Too expensive to keep replacing. Would hope New Balance would design a sturdier and more long lasting heel.
Another issue is your lack of selection of narrow shoes. Very disappointing. I wear certain styles for support and are limited to colors due to no narrows. And when you add a new stylish color, never in narrow. Am rethinking ordering in the same shoe in the same color.
New Balance - step up! Be creative and include everyone. This has been a real disappointment as I can ONLY wear narrow widths. Can't be just me!!

I own two other 990V4 and they are wonderful. I am able to use my custom orthotic. I love the grey/pink combo, but they are much wider than the other ones of the exact same size and width. I will be exchanging in hopes they were just mismarked!

I've been purchasing the same style shoe for 15 years and they are the only shoes that fit my needs. I wish they weren't so costly, but do appreciate the style.

This shoe is perfect EXCEPT. The tongue was so long and extended so far up my shin I couldn’t even stand walking with it on to check the fit. Very sad - this is a beautiful sneaker with great support, no go for the one thing that doesn’t work.
