Thank you for providing this product as it definitely filled a serious need due to my son requiring a 6E wide shoe. I reside in Singapore (Retired US Marine Gunny) supporting the US Military), and could not find any outlet here that had a wide size 15 shoe needed. As soon as he tried on this shoe, he was so happy that the shoe was extremely comfortable. I have purchased New Balance shoes for a long time as I have wide feet too. Greatly appreciate it.

My husband probably has about 5 pair of these shoes in his closet, because they are the most comfortable for him. He has a very wide foot, with hardly any arch. He has his everyday "clean and new" pair, his "mowing the lawn" pair, his pair that "might get wet", and two more "back-up" pairs! He just can't get enough of them!

I have been buying this shoe version for multiple decades - first as a mid-distance runner, then a marathon runner, later a recreational runner, and now in my 60's and 70's as a regular walker. I also use the black color shoes for international travel shoes. The older shoes live on for gardening and yard work. The cushioning and comfort are great. The size is consistent, although the width of this specific version seems a little bigger than usual. Despite the gradual increases in price over the years, I remain a loyal customer because of the quality and comfort of this USA made product.

Not real light, but good fit, feel substantial and secure, well-made, good design/style. Great for walking. Would prefer something lighter (like Brooks Ghost 12) for running.

This is my third pair of 990's, started with version 2 10 years ago! Great shoe for everyday use, I do 10,000 steps a day in these!

I've run in New Balance, the 990 series, for decades. They are the best shoes on the market -- great stability, cushion, support. As long as I'm running, I'm only buying New Balance. Thank you!

I bought US 990v5 again. Now I own two pairs. One for working out. The other for lawn care. The fit for me is perfect. I am 11.5 and 2E width. Very comfortable. I was looking for a work boot, but decided to purchase another pair of the US 990v5 for lawn care because they fit so well.

I am a NB fan. It's the wider toe box that did it for me plus the shoe is sold in half sizes which makes for a better fit. I've been wearing the shoes for more than 30 years and can tell you skip Nike and Hoka running shoes just wore out waaaay to quick. I don't buy the shoe for the points or the discounts but because they fit and are comfortable. I'm to old to run but still wear a running shoe for walking. They last me about a year and I'll keep buying them as long as I can. Why would I switch....If it aint broke don't fix it. Make sure you get your feet measured each time you go to buy!!!

This is a top quality shoe. Fit and manufacturing is of the best quality. They are expensive, but I would buy them again. I would style them a little simpler as for my taste there are too many lines. No question the best quality and fit of any shoe I've ever owned.

I love the product. It's the only walking shoe I buy.
However, New Balance needs to get it's act together. Customer Service is laughable under Covid - the texting just didn't work (what happened to old fashioned email?). Covid also caused them to discontinue their custom shoes. We're 5-6 months into this Covid mess and New Balance needs to quit making excuses for poor service. Management should have figured it out by now. Might have to look for alternatives to the 990 v 5, not because of the product, but because of the company.

This is my 5th 990 sneaker. I am very happy with the performance. They are stable and afford good cushioning. I walk in them every day about 4 miles and they consistently last 5-6 months. Will buy again

What prompted me to look into these shoes was a program I was watching which showed the NB manufacturing process here in America. I decided I owed myself a good sneaker so I took the plunge. I was pleasantly surprised by how well these sneakers fit as my size sometimes causes issues (9 wide). Without a break-in period, I wore these all day and was on my feet most of the time. They never bothered my feet, and my back wasn't killing me at the end of the day. The most expensive pair of shoes I've ever purchased but I can honestly say it was worth it.

For how many years (probably into double digits) I have bought the same shoe and have NEVER been disapointed. Well, different colors of course.

I have tired other models but I keep coming back to the 990. It is comfortable and durable. Worth the cost.
