I loved the 990 version 4, but Version 5 I even like better. The shoes are so comfortable. I feel like I am walking on air.

I have flat feed that are also wide, and an uncommon show size (7 4E). A podiatrist recommended 990's (or their predecessor) as one of the best shoes for people with flat feet and or chronic discomfort. For years, they have been doing the job and I may never switch again. And after years of having trouble finding the ones I want in the size and price I want, I just gave up and started buying straight from New Balance and so far I am extremely happy,

Amazing shoe, im 18 and I get a lot of compliments on them. If someone tells you they look like grandpa shoes tell them that's why you bought them and that they're cool.

Bought these for Christmas for my son-in-law.....New Balance is the only brand he wears. I've worn New Balance myself for years...as I'm a walker ( 30 plus years). Great shoes.

Style very good. Good but not great for walking. Would not use for running as very stiff and nearly rigid, especially across the sole with nearly solid insole. This combined with a larger than size fit especially across toe and forefoot make them terrible to use for running--feels like you are just slapping the front part of the soles on the pavement. Having said that the back part of the shoe fits well (though also so rigid that it is hard to get foot into shoe) and toes don't seem to slip around even though tons of space there. Hence will use them for walking but NOT for running.

Have purchased multiple pairs of these shoes. There must be a series of bad productions runs based on the other issues I'm having with other New Balance shoes. After several weeks, these shoes will not stop squeaking.

I have a long narrow foot........you are the only company that manufactures a narrow athletic shoe.....
My bare footprint (wet foot, dry floor) is an oval........
Each year I purchase a new pair.......my foot destroys the shoe.......
Please keep making these narrow shoes......

I work in a group home taking care of adults with disabilities. I'm on my feet most of the time and I never had the right shoes. The nikes I used to wear fell apart after only 4 months. New balance actually suggested the 900v5 and I couldn't be happier. The laces stay tied, the shoe has a wonderful snug fit and my feet don't hurt while wearing them.
I know that these are a bit pricey but to me it's worth every penny. I bought a 1/2 a size up.
Thank you New Balance

I could use these sneakers all day. I work in a hospital and I have flat feet and a bad back. These sneakers were recommended to me by my foot doctor. To me is an expensive sneaker but it was definitely worth it. If new balance has a sale then i will buy another one for sure. Thank you new balance.

I walk three miles/day. These shoes are SO comfortable! I wear an 11.5- 4E with a low arch. I have had a lifetime of trouble finding shoes that fit and provide support. I'm happy to say I've found them in the NB 990V5. Gamechangers!

These shoes make it possible to walk long enough to relieve my back pain and keep my knee pain from flaring up.

I have been using New Balance for years. The sides of the shoe are too high and rubbed the bottom of the ankle bone. I had to buy an insert to elevate my foot.

A perfect combination of support and cushion that actually comes in extra narrow sizes.
