Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

Would have been 5 stars if the price was little more resemble.

Cons: my big toe can punch a hole over mesh eventually. There is not enough protection lid over. Pros: shoes are made well with comfort arch Insole. Recommend.

These shoes are pricey but comfortable and durable.

Always a confortable shoe.Been using 990's for 20 years

I wear these shoes for everything, walking, at the gym, casual wear when out and about.

I'm 70 years old and on average run between 120 and 130 miles per month between training and road races. For the past few years, I have run in NB 1040s. I find that the 990s are far heavier than I thought they would be. I will continue to train in them, but I will switch to the 1040s on race days.

Have worn NB shoes for some time. Fit is always spot on, construction solid, excellent support and great styling. Most NB shoes are on the pricey end but within reason. This shoe is all of the above but at nearly $180 its beyond reasonable. Unfortunately for me this is the only shoe I have found that provides the support that I need so buying it regardless of price.

I wear these to work and they are just fine. Only problem I have is that they are heavier than previous sneakers worn but I always bought sneakers that were 10oz. or less so I just need time to adjust. Overall a great fit and extremely comfortable!

This is an America made product the quality is there just what I expect from American workers.

Got the shoe in the special edition with the castlerock gray, more monochromatic and more leather than mesh. It's a great looking shoe and one that would be dressier going out for dressy casual, but it does not give nearly as much control of pronation compared to the New Balance 1540

The color just did not fit with any of his clothes.

I measure 11.5A on the left and 12A on the right, therefore nothing fits me. For one, who makes an A width anymore? I didn't have much trouble finding A's until the Eighties. Did our feet get wider as we got fatter? This shoe in 12AA (extra narrow) has been my best fit for decades. I use it as a casual shoe, and when they get worn down I use them for yardwork. BTW, I have custom orthotics for my flat feet. This shoe runs wide to me. The AA feels like an A or even a B. Compare it to the only other extra-narrow men's shoe that NB offers, the 847v3, which is a true AA, significantly narrower than the 990. I wish I could order an 11.5 for the left and a 12 for the right. The 12 is too long on the left and the 11.5 too short on the right. These shoes are too expensive to order 11.5 and 12 and mix and match, plus, what a waste that would be! The differences between v4 and v5 seem to be subtle and merely cosmetic. They generally last me a little over a year. I get holes in the toe box over the big toe and the support starts to break down. They offer good lateral stability, but the 847 walker provides a better stride. Don't expect to have dry feet in the rain. It's a great shoe but it has its limits.

Been wearing them for several weeks and they are doing well. Walked several miles in them already comfortable for me. I wear orthotics and can easily fit them inside these shoes.

Have had several 990's... love them for everyday wear... I found them a little hard for the half marathon distance... but as someone said these are a luxury liner and if they're not worn cleaning stalls they'll last a long long time! So well made! So comfortable overall!

I have spinal stenosis and these are the only athletic shoes that give me comfort and relief. These were my second pair of this model, For whatever its worth I ordered these in Navy blue and was sent this model in gray. No big deal.

I wear them for everyday use. The fit is good and they look great. The only issue is one seam slightly off need the toes on the left foot.

Made in the USA. Somewhat pricey. Will buy if on sale.

Great shoe, I bought the navy, but they seem wider than my my black ones and my gray ones.

Bought strictly for exercise routine. A great supportive show

Seem better than V-4. Fit easier and break- in iseasier.

I have worn many versions of the same sneaker over the years. Great sneaker comfortable great support. But I find the price way exorbitant. You get what you pay for, but I find I'm holding on to the sneaker a little longer than I should for the price they charge. Upper also doesn't seem to last as long as the tread. But overall would buy again. Great shoe.
