I have just bought my third pair of 990 NB sneakers. I still have the old ones for dirty yard work. Very comfortable, durable, and look great. USA-made is fantastic, worth the money.

Needed to order a half size up compared to NB1340v3 from 16 months ago. Quality and comfort are great. I used to wear this model 2 or 3 decades ago. And I must confess that the colors for most running shoes these days are just awful; hard to find anything remotely acceptable. These are quiet and steady, same as they were long ago.

These shoes are wide enough for my wide feet. I used to roll my ankle all the time but these shoes have such a stable base I never roll my ankle anymore. Durable long wearing great shoe.

Since Covid-19, I have been walking 5-8 miles per day. I have gone through three pairs of sneakers. I researched online, and found great reviews of the 990v5. So far so good with two weeks done.

I really like the 990v5s. They feel really good. Also, I like that they are more traditional in style, and do not look silly or overly trendy like many of the athletic shoes today. Price is a little high for me, and I hope it levels out a bit.

Same high quality as the other 990's I've bought. These seemed a little bit bigger than the previous ones though, but maybe my feet have just shrunk a little bit, who knows. \_()_/

My foot measures 14AAA. New Balance is the only company that make a 14AA, and only sporatically. When they have them, I always snap up a pair. The quality is impeccable and the fit terrific. My only complaint is there no provision to secure the tongue with the laces. I love the fact this style is made in America

I have been wearing 990's for years. I buy a new pair about every 6 months.
I do however replace the shoe laces with 48" laces, that way I don't have to deal with the extra 10 inches or so, of lace.(That is a pain)
Two sales people at Nordstrom's could not explain the extra long laces..
I'm sure it has to do with the way you lace up the shoe, but it still looks too long.
Aside from that minor problem, thank you for a quality product, that I will continue to purchase.

They work great! I'm a person who supinates, especially near the front of my feet, basically what that means is that typically the point with the most pressure during a stride is the upper right/left {depending on which foot} quadrant of my foot. Because of this EVERY shoe I have owned so far has worn down to a gapping hole in that part of my shoe. So far these seem to be the exception.
Using NB's language I needed a "Neutral Cushioning" shoe and I wanted to see what happened if I actually put my money where my mouth is, or "feet" in this case ;). I've had them for a bit now, the exterior, outside facing soul seems really durable, no visible wear yet. The shoe is very conformable, I am a wide shoe in every brand but the wide option on these seems a bit wider than others, so it fits a little too loose in side-to-side direction. The length is spot on though and overall they fit very well. The support {which for me this is key} seems to be the best of any shoe I have ever bought. I can wear these for very long walks with my dog on various terrains and they still feel great.

My husband will only wear this brand of shoes . He spent three years finding them. For comfort he does not mind paying extra . He suffers from pain when he walks and an MD sent him to New Balance !
