Needed shoes that could fit my orthotics and these were recommended by the New Balance store at Downtown Summerlin. Las Vegas. Very happy with my purchase. Will purchase again.

I wore the 990v4 for a little over a year before I got my v5's. The material feels just as good of quality but there's something about the midsole now its just so much more comfortable! Also, the Orthalite insole that comes standard with the shoe makes it even more comfortable. I can stand all day in this shoe and have no problems and very little swelling in my feet. Definitely worth the price and the "Made in USA" line of New Balances never disappoint. Going to buy 2 more pair this month so I can switch out the colors.

The New Balance running shoe was recommended to me 30 years ago by a friend in a running club; I've been running with NB shoes ever since (width 4E). They are, and always have been, a long lasting, durable and comfortable running shoe.

They seem to have changed the 990 from V4 to V5. The V5 is now hitting my left ankle bone, the V4 didn't bother it.

I finally found a shoe wide enough, 6E, for my 4 inch wide foot. I did measurements to make sure I had extra spacing. Sometimes it feels too roomy when I'm casually walking but my toes have enough spacing and spread out evenly. Something the opposite of Nike runners which don't offer any width sizing. I felt relief from day one trying these shoes on. In-store, I purchased a 4E but found it wasn't wide enough when I tried them on again at home. I had to return them and buy the right size online. While I'm not accustomed to the feel of my toes being free with wiggle room, While I did try the 10.5 in-store it was just too snug on my toes. Too bad NB doesn't make a 10.75. But what a dramatic improvement in foot relief.

I jog in them on a treadmill four days a week for about 3 miles.

This shoe, Made in the USA, is the best quality I have ever worn since the 1970's when they were all made in the USA. You will immediately be able to tell the difference in fit and feel from all the imports the second you put them on. Little to no break in required. To dial in my fit, I inserted New Balance IPR 3030 insoles. Also the best insoles money can buy. Without these insoles the shoe was too loose with my totally flat feet. I you don't have flat feet you may not need the insoles. Prior to getting the New Balance 990v5's, for more than a year I used the IPR 3030 insoles in my NF hiking shoes for an excellent fit. Best of all the 990's come in all Black so I can wear them to the office every day if I want. If your budget will allow--go ahead and try the 990's and see what a difference a shoe made in the USA is. No other athletic shoe manufacture makes shoes in the USA, and no other manufacturer makes as good a shoe as the 990. One last quip: When I was in the New Balance store to try on the USA made shoes, I saw that almost every sales person had on the 990. I asked my salesman why is everyone wearing the 990--is it because it's made in the USA? He says, "No, when you are on you feet everyday up and down day after day, the 990 is the only shoe to wear." I agree--it's like having a smooth slipper on with the performance of an athletic shoe.

The us 990v5 are always great tennis shoes. They are well made and comfortable

Have AAA foot width, Shoe is too wide. 847v3 top collapses on top toes causing severe pain, terrible design Need to make 847 AAA again

Its a legendary shoe. They are built so well. Not flimsy like other running kicks. Wish LL Bean and New Balance could do a collaboration for 990v6

Great for gym workouts, and street runs. I like 63" laces with these sneakers.

always a great pair of sneakers, good to buy them from the source and not get knock offs.d

I am glad there was a pair of shoes that fit my weird feet. One foot is size 10.5 and the other is size 12 and because of the width of the biggest foot, I have to get a size 13 4E. and over the years, my biggest foot got wider so the size 13 6E shoes are very helpful. And the navy blue colored shoes are nice because I like it when the letter N shows out on the shoes

I use as a running shoe every day. Shoe feels great

I have worn this shoe(990) for the past 20 years. I have used other New Balance models as well but I keep coming back to the 990 . I have gone from running to walking over the years and this model is by far the best fitting and wearing shoe I have ever had for exercise. The price is higher but it is worth every dollar. An added plus is that it is made in the USA , sometimes we just do it better.

I received a pair of these shoes as a gift and liked them so much I purchased I a second pair on New Balance website. I am 6'5" and they give me the best support of any shoes I have purchased previously.

fits and feels perfect and very conferrable for everyday use and elliptical use and casual running a great overall daily shoe.

Been wearing 990's for years now, work on my feet all day, perfect shoes for me , even better with the NB ensoles. Shipment can on time, Thanks New Balance. Support American Made Products.
