I was having a problem with an extremely sore foot. MRI X-ray showed nothing. PT visits with exercise and massage didn't help. PT asked an orthopedist and he recommended 990v4. From the time I first put them on pain went away and is gone as long as I'm wearing them.

I bought these because of recommendations made by neighbors who found these shoes helpful for people dealing with plantar fasciitis. "Worth a try," said I. Today I used these shoes for a 2-mile walk (uphill, mostly flat with gravel, downhill). They were comfortable throughout. So far, so good. By the way, one shoe was a bit squeaky when I first wore it. Putting a bit of foot powder between the insole and the inner bottom of the shoe solved that annoyance.

I can always order my husband's New Ballance sneakers with confidence that the size, width and style number will always be exactly what he wants.

Bought the 990v5 for casual everyday use, no special need. Offered in several wide versions (needed) and American made (sought after for all purchases now) ... at least 70% anyway. Grey color very nice, softer looking that white so it matches up with more shirt options. Very comfortable, almost like a slipper if laces are let out a bit, yet you can tighten them up. I have low ankles, so the ankle cut works just right. A bit pricey, but you generally get what you get. All in all, very satisfied.

I can't say enough good things about this shoe. It's stylish and comfortable for all day use. The price point is a little high but worth every penny.

This shoe helped my knees. I weigh over 220 lbs and other shoes, while comfortable, did not protect my knees. Online purchase allowed me to buy the 2E width while stores only seem to have the 4E width. The shoe wears well and remains comfortable to walk in. I have several pairs that have lasted for years. Years for walking not running. They are still good for at least 300 + miles running.

I use these shoes for walking and styling. They are very comfortable and attractive, in my opinion. I have had the 993 (which are old and beat up, but I just can't seem to part with them because they are so comfortable), and I am about to purchase another pair in black/gray, the 990v4 and now the 990v5. I have also purchased the 990v5 for my husband. I love, love, this shoe and I highly recommend them.

Great fit and comfort. Really a great shoe. I need cushioning and these shoes more than pass the test. Highly recommend.

I have just bought my third pair of 990 NB sneakers. I still have the old ones for dirty yard work. Very comfortable, durable, and look great. USA-made is fantastic, worth the money.

Needed to order a half size up compared to NB1340v3 from 16 months ago. Quality and comfort are great. I used to wear this model 2 or 3 decades ago. And I must confess that the colors for most running shoes these days are just awful; hard to find anything remotely acceptable. These are quiet and steady, same as they were long ago.

These shoes are wide enough for my wide feet. I used to roll my ankle all the time but these shoes have such a stable base I never roll my ankle anymore. Durable long wearing great shoe.

Since Covid-19, I have been walking 5-8 miles per day. I have gone through three pairs of sneakers. I researched online, and found great reviews of the 990v5. So far so good with two weeks done.

My foot measures 14AAA. New Balance is the only company that make a 14AA, and only sporatically. When they have them, I always snap up a pair. The quality is impeccable and the fit terrific. My only complaint is there no provision to secure the tongue with the laces. I love the fact this style is made in America
