New Balance shoes always fit well and feel great. I like the roundness of the toe which allows comfort for my feet.

The shoes feel so awesome on my feet I wonder why it took me this long to buy one.

These shoes are light, comfortable and sturdy. My first pair lasted a long while (990v4s). Look forward to breaking in this new pair. So glad they are Made in The USA!

I use the Model 990V5 walking shoe as my every day shoe. It is very comfortable for somebody who, due to a medical condition, increased my shoe size from a 12 to a 14, at 71-years of age. While the shoe is not water resistant and I get wet toes when walking my dogs on wet grass, they still breathe and are very comfortable.

For the last three years I have been wearing NB 990v4s in 11D, mostly for running (about 8-12 miles a week) and some walking around the house/yard. I called NB customer service to ask if my current 11D would stay true in the 990v5, and they said 'yes, stay with the same size.' Well, they were right. The 990v5 in 11D feels terrific right out of the box. The sneaker is snug/secure (in a good way) around the entire foot, while only using about 70% of the lacing capability. As the shoe breaks in and stretches over time, I still have the 30% of lacing capability remaining to keep the snug fit I was used to when the sneaker was new. With my 990v4s, I really had to crank hard on the laces to ensure a snug fit when they were new, so I had no lacing/tightening capability in reserve as the sneaker stretched out over time. All in all, very happy with initial fit, construction/design, aesthetic appeal, and unboxing first impressions.

I put them on my feet and I tie them up, and then I walk 4 - 10 miles per day. :-)

Been with NB alot of years and have to say the Classic 990 on up through the numbers and versions are the standard. I have tried other brands and always come back for the true fit and comfort. This V5 is no exception. I am a large runner/walker and find the V5 to work better for me than even the NB940 recommended for hefty men. They are pricey but worth it!

I will stay the the NB brand

Haven't put these in yet, but I am sure they will be as comfortable as the 4's. Love this sneaker. Feels good on the feet and has great support for a low top sneak.

The shoes were just fine. I made a mistake and ordered too wide a size and I had to return them. The return was slick, easy, and fast. Five stars for customer service.

I bought these sneakers for my boyfriend as a surprise. They happened to come in wide which he needs and when they came, he loved them and they fit very well. He is just waiting for the weather to get nicer to wear them.

I'm a big fan of New Balance because they are one of the few companies that provide shoes in different widths. I used to be a marathon running and it is the only shoe I would wear because of the fit. Now that most of my time is spent just walking I still go with NB because they just fit right every time. This is my 20th year of being a dedicated NB satisfied customer

Just got my V5s today. Had a pair of v4s which fit perfect. Wanted to get another pair of v4s but couldn't find any for sale. So far, they seem to feel the same on feet. Great as usual....Only complaint i have is that they feel a bit roomier in the toe box area than the v4's....anyone else feel this way or is it just me?

I have been running in New Balance shoes over 30 years. I never had any problems with the shoes. Been using the 990 model the last 5 or 6 years.

I wear my New Balance 990 V 5 shoes everyday for everything that I do. Great pair of shoes. I have been wearing the 990 series when they were 990 V 1 for many years now. The New Balance 990 V 5 is a little pricey, but they are the best pair of shoes that I have ever had. They are very comfortable and durable. I will never wear any other shoe, just New Balance shoes ONLY.
