Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

I purchased Mens Made in US 990v5 Size 9 1/2 Grey & White. Two Problems 9 1/2 was a little too big & I did not like the plastic flag on the tongue was a cloth patch from the picture online. Returned them & was refunded my purchase promptly. Now I would like to buy a pair of Mens Made in US 993 Grey & white Size 9 . The Problem is I don't see a size 9. I sent E- Mail to see if they are discontinued or making more in size 9. No one has returned my E-Mails

So far I'm Disappointed with the initial 2 week break in. Shoes were stiff and unforgiving. Shoes are heavier than expected. Sole Cushion level 1 to 10, 10 being softest I give them a 6. Used daily for everything. Owned some 680s. Those were better comfort all around. Tried the newest to see if it meant better. They are ok.

I cannot overstate the versatility this sneaker offers. It is fashionable, goes with everything, comfortable for any activity. If you're on the fence, go for it. These are some of the best shoes money can buy.

The shoe is comfortable and stylish. Proper design and made in America. Carbon fiber around the heel. Suede is easy to clean .

I was extremely pleased with my previous pair of 990's but finally put enough wear on them over several years to provoke looking for a replacement pair. I have a difficult shoe size situation but these shoes were much better than any previous ones that I tried. I went to the same store where I got them but the selection was diminished so I was extremely happy to be able to get them on line directly from New Balance. The transaction was easy and the shoes came very quickly. I have been an exclusive New Balance wearer for decades but these have been the best so far. Plus, they wear like iron.

I primarily use the 990 for walking, but also use it with jeans and casual wear. It is very stylish and by far the most comfortable walking/everyday shoe that I have owned. The 990 is reasonably priced and made in the USA. I only wish that I bought the gray pair also.

My 15 yr. old son requested these and loves them. I love the quality. Well made. So far, he's worn with jeans and looks sporty.

When I visited my podiatrist to be fitted for custom orthotics, due to flat feet, he recommended the NB US 990v5. Matched with the orthotics, the 990v5 are the only shoes that I'm able to wear for travel and walking. The secure fit, cushioning and arch support allow me to be on my feet for hours without pain. I enthusiastically recommend the 990v5 for customers who have flat feet and experience pain in the arches.

Just like my last 12 pairs. Shoes are consistent In quality and fit. I usually have three pairs in rotation. Buy a new pair about every year. They must be good

The 12.5 6E men's shoe did not seem any wider than 12.5 4E

No break in, just slip them on and off you go. No problems with them. My Third pair. Love them!

Fit perfect and true to size, probably my favorite pair of shoes I own

Husband has plantar fasciitis and these are the only shoes that help!

I was looking for the perfect exercise shoe. Going for a run; pay some tension. New Balance is my perfect fit!

9 2E WIDER AND LONGER THAN 5 PREVIOUS PURCHASES. TONGUE DOE NOT STAY IN PLACE, ROLLS TO SIDE

my husband has wide feet nb is one of the few brands that come that way.

990 is really comfortable shoe. Amazingly great. Love it.

Super comfortable,suttle look yet stylish

I wear the 990 series shoe and have been for the past 20 years or so. I usually buy 3 pairs at a time and keep 2 in the closet for later wear. I have wide feet so finding a shoe company that offers widths is a real plus.

This 990v5 really worth your money. It goes well with everything!

The US made is worth the higher price. They're just better shoes, in my opinion.

I have been a long time fan of the 990's but the version 5 just did fit right for me. I truly believe it's one of the best running/walking/leisure shoes out there and the ones in the past that I have, I would give five stars.

Look, I love these shoes. I absolutely do even with their flaws but I needed the hard working people at NB to listen to my review. Within two weeks from when I bought them the adhesive from the suede to the sole became undone and a week after that the threading near the toe box started to wear and become stringy. I also ordered a 10.5 and every NB shoe I've worn has always been a 10.5. Turf shoes, baseball shoes, 574s, x90s, and the 997 all have been a 10.5, and s naturally I thought these would be 10.5 but they running large. Despite these issues, I wear them everyday because I am in love with them. Hopfully you can tell that I am an avid customer and I always return for more of your products, but it seems to me that I received a bad batch from my 990v5 which had hurt my new balance experience. I would love to buy another wonderful pair of these shoes to make up for the imperfections, but the price tag is steep and so perhaps next year I may return with a better review like the majority of these reviewers.

I had the previous model, worked great. I bought this model expecting the same. After having the shoes for about 7 months, which is actually a great amount of time, but for a shoe this price is bad, the toe box detached from the sole of the shoes and the foam seemingly disintegrated. It was wack, didn't really understand how it happened. Not one star because the shoe is comfortable and lasted more than 6 months. Barely made the cut g.
