Well designed, comfortable, made in USA. What's not to like? I have four pairs of athletic shoes be different brands but these are now my favorite go to shoes.

First new balance and loving it. Looks much better in person and quality of the material is superb. It may not be as soft as ultra boost but it's well balanced and wearing it gets better every time. Runs a bit long for me so I would go down half a size from your regular shoes.

I have bought several 928 shoes over the last few years. The 990v5 is far superior. Better fit, comfort, and materials. Plus made in USA.

This is for sure the best 990 yet. The Ortholite cushioning is A1, and I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in trying New Balance.

The tongue had a very thick seam that dug into the bone on my foot and caused a bad bruise forcing me to throw out the shoe

Most impressive running shoes I ever got from New Balance, I felt the difference from day one compared with my old 990 v4.
I will definitely recommend these running shoes!!!

. . . the fit is not as good as the Style 993 (my size 9.5, 4W). The 990v5 is a little longer (and looser in the back) and a bit narrower in the front (but still ok). I use these running shoes as walking shoes, as I have done with New Balance running shoes for years, and so far the 990v5 shoes are good to very good.

Extremely comfortable, better fit than buying in tennis shoe store. Definitely will order my shoes from Zappos, very accurately delivery time , even on Sunday , I thought my projected delivery date was incorrect because it was a Sunday, but sure enough they were delivered on Sunday. My only issue the delivery person didn’t wait for me to answer the door before they left my $200 shoes in front of my apartment door and pulled of.?What if I wasn’t home. Unfortunately I live in a shady neighborhood , my package could have been stolen if I wasn’t home. I just think the delivery person should have waited for a response before they left my very expensive package . If no person answered the package should not have been left. My bedroom is in the rear . It took me a few seconds to get to the door, but the delivery person was gone. They just left my very expensive order with no confirmation and pulled off.

The 990 is a great shoe... I use it to run about 3 miles a couple times a week. I like some of the other styles, however they all do not come on the extra wide sizes..... EE, EEE, EEEE etc I wish they did...

Some problems with New Balance 990's:
After wearing them for decades, no other shoes feel comfortable.
You find yourself doing a few million steps each year and your waistline looks decidedly non-presidential.
Apparently, I have a silly walk; my left 990 heel wears down while my right shoe looks nearly perfect. Earlier 990 versions had a cat urine feature with an odor warning when a shoe was excessively worn. Either New Balance has eliminated said feature or the dreaded virus has hit.
I keep a half dozen pairs of 990's: three in rotation, two in reserve (including an all-black for foreign travel), and one well-worn for yard work mudding.
In a few months, it will be time for another pair. Not cheap, but a small price for the comfort and miles of pleasure.

I've been wearing NB for many years now. Various models over the years, with varying success/results. The latest was the 928v3 that I purchased september 2018! Great shoe and one to be compared against, the fit was great and comfort was outstanding. So, when I desided to purchase the NB "Made in the USA" shoe I figured there would be some difference. The fit is perfect, material is top notch, and while a little pricey, for the quality of the shoe. So far, with the money. Time will tell how well they wear. You see, I am a little tough on soles due to an unequal leg length condition treated with a 1/4 inch insert. In true New Balance form, the foot box of this shoe is sufficient to allow this much insert with no loss in comfort. Well done! I reserve the right to re-evaluate as the shoe/sole wears.

Service excellent. Mailing prompt. Shoe has good blend of cushioning and support. Easy break-in. Should as previous versions stand up too many miles.

I love my new New Balance 990 sneakers. They really feel great when I am running. I typically run four miles everyday. As such, I feel as I the sneaker is providing my lower back legs and ankles with a lot of support.
