Yes I would not only buy them again but recommend them to others, I use them for walking, hiking and in the gym.

Made in U.S.A. Have been buying in your stores but ordering on line was easy and received in one week.

Sneakers are good, nice color and fit; communication wise on the business side is bad though

I've been buying and wearing the 990s for many years. Very well made; very comfortable and durable.

I have been wearing New Balance for over 25 years. The great fit, appearance and durability never disappoints. And they are made in the US!

Needed a shoe for summertime exercise walking, plenty of support but also lightweight. Wanted a good casual appearance with clothes, not bright white but light color neutral. Glad to know shoes of this quality made in USA, very satisfied with this choice and think they are sturdy enough for intended use and will last well.

Probably the Best Sneaker/Shoe out there today in my opinion. Really no cons at all. Great shoe to make a dash in if your about to get caught cheating on your woman unscathed.

I prefer 998, but I couldn't find 998s in my size.

Purchased my first pair of NB. Great shoe. I usually wear size 14 with the competition. I purchased a size 14 in NB and they are a bit big. I should have purchased size 13.5. I use them for jogging and are great.

I was hoping to use these shoes for some light jogging, but they are just not made for that. The arch support is minimal, there is no springiness in the heel, they are 3 ounces each heavier than my old New Balances of a larger size and they are hot, not enough mesh. I do like that they are made in the USA But I am seriously considering returning them.

This product is thankfully made in America. It is more for someone who needs extra foot protection than for someone who wants to be physically active. The sole is not flexible for quick walking or jogging.

These look great in black/silver. The materials and quality are top notch. They are also the first shoe I'v ever had in a 13 6E and they fit better than any shoe I'v ever owned. No local shops have ever stock larger than 4e so it was a great feeling to try properly fit shoes for the first time. The padding in the shoes was very comfortable to stand on. Undoubtedly, these are the best shoe's Iv ever tried on.
Unfortunately, I had to return them because it feels like I'm walking in high heels. I had to actively think about every step I took because of how they felt. No matter how hard I tried to walk normally, I couldn't do it and was walking much slowerl. It felt like I had an extra 1/2" of rubber under my heel and I had to exaggerate my steps to avoid tripping over it. I'v never experienced this in any shoe before so I don't understand why.
Maybe I'm the only person with this issue so I hate to even give these negative feedback, but they just don't work for me.

My husband needed new sneakers, as his old ones were worn out. So, I got online and got him the 990v5. I thought they were a bit expensive, but he's worth the cost. New sneakers arrived, he put them on, we went for a walk...4 miles later he says to me, "These are the best sneakers I've ever had. Just put them on and go. Comfortable, great fit, no breaking in!" Every time we love something, when we decide to get it again the item is either out of stock or outdated. So, guess what, Hubby is set for a long time as we ordered and received 3 more pairs of the 990v5 sneakers. He love, Love, LOVES this sneaker.

Shoes too small. Why can't NB carry my size in stores. I don't like having to purchase via the web

I normally do not purchase shoes online to ensure they fit correctly, but I own a 990v4 and the 990v5 fits just the same and comfortable.

This is my 4th pair of the 990s. My first pair was recommended by my podiatrist because of a painful bunion. Along with the shoes, I got the orthotic insoles. What a difference!! My feet feel great .. no pain from the bunion at all.
I get a new pair every year and consign the previous years' pair as a 'work' shoe.

Great American made Craftsmanship. High quality shoe that lasts a long time. I use it as a walking shoe, and then when I get a new pair I use the old pair as running shoes.
Buy American!

I am retired so I don't need to dress up for work any longer. I have 5 different pairs (2 v5, 1v4 and 2 v3). I use 2 pair for long walks (4 to 8 miles). The others are for everyday wear and for the gym.
