I was told this the most comfortable shoe ever. I decided to try it, but was skeptical since I have a lot of foot pain. These fantastic! I recommend them to everyone now.

It is hard to find American made products especially sneakers, so glad I can proudly wear New Balance made in the USA, they feel great and look good too.

I have been wearing the 990 for many years. I wear the Made in USA 990 with Made in USA Socks and Made in USA Insoles. I can walk over 2000 miles per year. The only issue is they wear out and I have to get another pair. I typically walk on pavement so I need the shock absorption and since I want to walk every day stability helps to prevent any misstep or injury. This line of shoes was recommended to me by New Balance several years ago and they do make a difference.

Very comfortable to wear and walk and run in them. However the mesh at the medial side of my toes usually perforates after several years.

These are walking shoes and I've been walking 5-7 miles a day.
I'm 73 years old and these are as comfortable as anything I've walked in!
Love the color and the fit!

Great shoes, more stable for my over pronating feet than the 880's they replaced. Love that New Balance actually makes widths, so important for my duck feet! Don't know about the arch support, I use orthotic inserts.
My only complaint is lack of color in the styles they offer.

... and will do so again and again. Please don't change a thing. I don't want visual flash in a walking shoe - just sturdy support and great comfort.

My new 990's fit and feel great. They give my surgically altered feet relief when I walk and with the lower heel of a walking shoe I am not at as great a risk for getting off balance, which is a concern for me at my age. The shoes appear to be well made and they look good, too.

This is the third pair of 990's that I have purchased first pair of v5. Same wonderful fit and support. I wear these shoes everyday, for any and all activities. Just the best pair of shoes I have ever owned.

Been wearing NB 990 for many years. Great shoe, walking and hiking. I do a lot of mileage will wear them out in 4 to 5 months.

Are these "dad" shoes at this point? I love them, and I feel good that they weren't assembled with slave labour.

Made in USA with EU materials. I have problems with my feet and I love these shoes. Yes they cost a little more but that is because US and EU employees earn more and have better benefits. I have 3 pair and love them. My wife and I both love New Balance.

I had a bit of a fiasco finding the right shoe. It took many, many conversations to get to it. My old shoe was a 1226...discontinued. The replacement 1260 was discontinued. The 860 suggestion was too soft. Apparently running shoes in general have shifted softer. The 1540 was a bit too stiff. But, the 990 is JUST RIGHT! That said, it too WAY too long to figure all this out. I'd suggest New balance improve its shoe suggestion capabilities.
All that said, super happy with the 990...as long as they don't discontinue it !

I have a number of foot issues, diabetes and Plantar fasciitis to name the two most prominent issues. The shoes have alleviated the heel pain

Best shoe for the job. Made in the USA. I bought the shoes but they run a little bit big and ended up returning them. However, stopped by the New Balance store and picked up the same on the right size. Thanks!
