Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

I am in my late 50's, 6'2", 225 lbs. I have a repaired ACL injury and a permanent Meniscus injury to my right knee, as well as joint injuries on both feet. I am very satisfied with the performance of this walking shoe. They allow me to walk my three mile route route rapidly and comfortably several times a week.

I ordered this pair of shoes for my husband. He said they are very comfortable. The most important thing is they are made in America

I wear these shoes for nearly all occasions. The light color, the fit, the quality, and the fact that they're made in the USA are all considerations that have kept me buying this same 990 series for well over 20 years.

Everyday casual use. I am 76 y/o and my shoe size is 11-1/2 4E.

Very comfortable, provides good support. On my third pair.

I get about 6-8 months of wear, which is around 750 miles of walking then I need new shoes to keep my knees from hurting. I try to buy the same NB shoe model, but sometimes it is discontinued. But I usually find a reference on their web site to refer me to something similar

Great walking shoe. Bought 2A narrow but not narrow enough.

Comfortable well made supportive shoes. Lighter than previous models. Slightly less shock absorbing. At 280, with a wide foot, the 990 has been my favorite for years.

since this is the only running shoe available in your lineup I wear them all the time. they squeak terribly with my orthotics. the overall quality has declined from 10 years ago and keeps going down. making an inferior design in the u.s.a. does nothing to inspire loyalty or increase business

I wasn't sure of what size shoe to buy and naturally they don't fit. Can't go to the post office as I'm quarantining. Now I'm stuck with an expensive jogging shoe. John

Comfortable, heavier running shoes. Heals stopped hurting when I switched to these.

These are great walking shoes and great for everyday casual wear.

I have had several pairs of New Balance narrow shoes and have been pleased with the fit, the comfort, and the appearance of them. Two pairs ago my shoes were bought at a New Balance store in Missouri but when I came back the following year they were no longer carried and I had to order them. However, the 990 is the only athletic shoe that I would consider buying.

Foot doctor recommended these shoes and I cannot thank them enough, stylish enough to pull off for work shoes. No other shoes for me moving forward. I bought my wife a pair a week after wearing mine.

In the past we always purchased the best value shoe from big box stores. Once I purchased my shoes for a foot problem, I had to share the experience with my wife.

The 990V5 is my everyday shoe. I have worn them since the original version. I went to the local New Balance store looking for a shoe that would give me the support I needed and after a conversation with shoe expert Tom, it was determined that the 990 was going to give me the best support. I am well pleased with them and have had many pairs since then. I wear a 10.5 D and every pair runs true to size with no break in period. I just put them on and go. I will continue to buy them.

I am VERY happy with my purchase. These are the most comfortable walking shoes that i have ever worn! Thank you.

The new shoes that I got are what I wanted to wear for nice casual wear. I have been very happy with the various 990v4 shoes that I have purchased previously.

I wear these shoes to walk my dog and myself. Well, maybe it's the dog that walks me. They are comfortable and perfect for walking. It's a man's shoe but I am a woman with a wide foot and so it fits perfectly.

Correct sizing, comfortable and well made. A USA constructed product. I will buy again.

Several years ago, I was told by a physical therapist to get running shoes to help with sore knees. I bought 1 pair of 1224's and 1 pair of 1225's. They are both pretty much shot, so I needed to replace them. The description of these seemed to be about as close as I could get to my old ones. So far, pretty good. I don't run anywhere, I just need the support.

My husband has bought this shoe style multiple times because of the extended shoe sizes. The first day he wore them (with athletic sox), he had a hole in the top of his left shoe. I sent 2 texts to customer service and had no response. I am very disappointed.

I have work New Balance shoes since 1982. These replaced a pair of 940s. The toe box on the 990s is too tight and causes discomfort.

Comfortable fit. Long wearing. Nice neural style
