Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

For my in-house shoes. I am planning to by a pair to wear outdoors

I walk and run 5 miles at least 4 times a week. I have been purchasing this model (990) for many years through its various generations. The fit is perfect and it is a very comfortable shoe for me. I weigh around 200 lbs and the support the shoe gives me is great.

Always liked the 990 series from New Balance. The few upgrades are nice but its still just a great basic walking shoe. I have mobility issues and the wide footbed helps stabilize me when I walk.

These shoes are very comfortable not squishy soft but stiff almost balanced feeling. It may not be for everyone but is definitely a great pair for all day wear. It does run true to size for me but may be different for others

I use it as an all purpose shoe. I always buy New Balance 990

This is my everyday shoe because it's so comfortable. I go on two to three mile walks every day and love the comfort. It has greatly helped with arthritis in my right foot... NO PAIN!!! I highly recommend this shoe.

Finally I've found a New Balance running shoe to fit my long, skinny 13AAA feet pretty well. 13AA is the narrowest NB seems to make--and not for every color of 990v5 shoes. The toe part is a good fit for me, but I had to pad the heels with about 3/8 inch of felt to keep my feet from sliding sideways there. After wearing them for about 15 miles I see that the first (front) lacing holes need to be drawn close together. That will produce a longitudinal wrinkle over the foot, but will fit more snugly and comfortably. I'll use a short, second lace for that and leave it permanently tied tight. (These are modifications I've almost always had to make to shoes, not only to NB shoes.) Even without these mods, the shoes are very comfortable, and I expect the wear to be a little more even with the heels padded on the outside of the shoe, which moves my weight a bit to the inside.

I have been wearing 990s since 2006 & the 990 v 5 is the most comfortable to date.

The best walking shoe this old ex-runner has ever had

I loved this shoe when it first came out and I still love it today. I have run in this shoe in numerous countries, under numerous circumstances, and a wide verity of distances. It has never let me down. Great quality, great service, and great, intuitive app.

These are hands-down the most comfortable shoes I've worn. I have been buying this style of shoe for years because of the comfort and how long they last.

Also happy they are made in USA. Very important to me. Though I would not buy them if they weren't comfortable. I recommend you buy them

I walk on an average 2 miles a day these are very comfortable.Great sneaker!!! (Note this is Cindys Husband)

I use these for general hiking and street walking, very comfortable and true to size. i don't run in them but they seem to have plenty of cusoniong. i'm thinking of buying a second pair in different color

Very comfortable shoe with wide sizes. Best shoes I ever bought.

I walk about 5-6 miles a day and these shoes really make the walk more enjoyable.

Fits well, feels good, I wear them almost every day.

Comfortable, looks good, made in USA what more could you want. A little lighter weight, maybe? But these are perfect. Thanks.

A comfortable and attractive shoe. I would purchase again

They're my everyday footwear and especially now since I'm retired. I won't lie though, a little cheaper price would be nice.

Use the product for walking and for everyday use. Excellent support for feet, arch and ankle.

This is the most comfortable show I have ever worn. I plan on purchasing more versions of the 990 series to see if they live up to the v5 in comfort. Plus, the craftsmanship on my pair is world class. I'm very happy with my purchase. If your unable to try on a pair I would recommend going a half size down as I did, it made for the perfect fit.

I use them to walk about three miles a day. They are extremely comfortable.

True to size, top quality and comfortable sneakers. Would probably get another color later!
