After years of having issues with calf pulls and strains the NB 990 was recommended by a sports podiatrist and it's been the only shoe I use for the last decade plus.

I needed Size 13 Double A flexible sided walking shoe. Double A is hard to find. This is 2nd time I have bought this style so am obviously pleased with it.

I wear them after a long day of wearing work boots. They are light and fit as advertised/ordered. I only wish there were more options for made in the USA products

My wife purchases this very shoe every few years, when the old pair wears out. She walks a few miles, and has always been happy with this particular brand and model.

Have been purchasing NB for years. Recent pair fit well, and are constructed well but have a horrible squeek to them with each step. Really, really loud. I am not sending them back, will just put up with it.

The premium price is warranted. Good support for a heavy person. I suspect for a less heavy person durability is longer lived. Doesnt feet like the support methods used are too stiff or rigid. Classic looks imply quality and does the color and finishes. I am writing this review and as I read it it sounds like something a construction manager would write . "I am who I am- said Sam"

Great for long runs! Plus, black on black color is nice looking with jeans, especially when traveling and you don't want to bring another pair of shoes on the trip.

Originally purchased 10.5 (my normal shoe size), thought they were possibly too big. Ordered 10s with help of customer service, they were indeed too small. I returned 10s easily and kept the 10.5s. very roomy up front, getting used to the arch support, love the quality of the shoe.

New Balance shoes seem to be the best fit for me and I like that the 990V5 continue to be made in the USA. As far as Zappo's performance they have the very best range of sizes and styles of any place I know. I've been shopping at Zappos.com for almost ten years. and have never been disappointed.

These shoes are rather "old-school" and a bit clunky. That's okay. I got them for the width and amazingly, they probably actually are 6e as they are supposed to be. They are expensive as they are US-made but don't look for any better quality than any other shoes. They appear as if they will last for a long time. Expensive but worth the cost for me.

I am a fan of Newbalance 990. Order a 1/2 larger because I had to return my initial pair because they were to small.

This was a gift. The recipient loved them and has always had issues finding the right fit for his narrow feet. He is so happy with these and is already planning on getting a second pair.

I have 6e super wide feet so the only good looking shoe is New Balance. I wear my New Balance shoes to do about everything. If they made a boot I wear it in the field. If they made penny loafers I would wear them to work. New Balance has really stepped up their game with a lot of great new styles. But I noticed only a few now come in 6e. Come on New Balance do not forget about us! You make our only cool shoe!

I walk 20,000 steps a day. The more I wear these the more my feet hurt. Have to switch to old version 4 to get relief. Will not buy these again.

The size and fit were perfect! The shoes are very comfortable and the suede is sharp looking. Thank you for carrying the extra wide sizes!

These are the only shoes of almost any kind that fit me, a size 12 AA. I use them to walk and knock about in. The only problem is they are cut just a little too high for my flat feet, thus impacting my ankle bone somewhat. Otherwise, very comfortable and I love them.
