I've worn 990s of various versions for over twenty years now. I'll keep wearing them as long as New Balance continues to make them.

Shoe is ok but cost is ridiculous. I need good cushion but getting priced out.

I have worn 990s for decades, but the 990v5 is going back. Size was at least 1/2 smaller (this was the size I've worn for decades), but definitely a lot more narrow from the widest section of foot through to the toes. The foot pad felt lumpy, not contoured. Heel pad was so narrow and high that my foot would slip during every step . The only way to prevent this was to over-tighten the shoe (to the point of cramps), and at that point my heel was contacting the nearly bare leather on the back. I loved the style, but this is going back.

I've been wearing these for a few years and they hold up much better than Nike and Asics, which would wear out in a quarter the time (either separation or toe-holes). New Balance actually "wears" out, like they should.

I'm 82, and haven't done any running of any kind for longer than I can remember, but I wear these shoes for everything else, including fishing, logging, yard work and of course walking. I recently replaced my 990v4s with a pair of v5s, due to the old ones being so grimy and stained by the dye I use on my salmon roe bait. I have no complaints whatsoever about these shoes.

NB is on the come up lately especially with all their collabs. I bought this so I can wear it with my joggers and boy do they look perfect with joggers. The quality is what you'd expect from a "Made in the USA" NB pair. I'm a fan!

Purchased a brand new pair of 990's from my local New Balance store a couple of months ago. Terribly disappointed. These shoes squeak when I walk. Thought it was a matter of just breaking them in but no amount of walking has stopped them from squeaking. Have been using New Balance for the last 20+ years without a problem. I will now start considering other brands as New Balance has cheaped out and brought second rate manufacturing to what was a great brand of shoes. This is what happens when you let bean counters run the company. They make a cheap pair of shoes and sell them based on the New Balance name. New Balance just does not mean what it use to. Another American name tarnished by poor quality.

I have bought these shoes for the last thirty years. I use them at work in the operating room as they provide great support for standing long hours. They are also my go to shoe for walking around the city or hiking

Another excellent 990 from New Balance. Excellent style and fit. I went with the blue this time instead of the gray and I am super happy with these. If you're on the fence, just go for it!

I own 2 pairs, one pair for recreation and one for work. Wouldn't buy any other shoe, 990's are unmatched in every category.

I have bunions that are not a candidate for surgery even after 11 marathons in my past so the 4E width is great for me!
