Each pair of this series is a different fit, I use to able to order a 7 4E, not I have to order an 8 4E and compare, each size and color is different, poor sizing quality control but great shoes.

Wore 928s for many years but physical therapist suggested running shoe for walking and this one is much better for me -- gives a real spring in my step. Not as much cushioning so I use a gel insert. Note for all NB you generally need 1/2 size larger than your shoe size.

This is my go to shoe for exercise, doing chores and casual day at work. This is my third pair of the 990v5. They last longer than any pair of shoes that I have ever owned.

I have worn this shoe before and have really liked it. This time I wore the shoes before realizing they were so large. They are marked “7” but are 1/2 to 1 size too large and I feel as though I am wearing clown shoes. Not happy.

Previous version had orange lining around ankle. Much more versatile with navy detail.

Asics but where are the narrows?

I was a member of the first class at West Point that was issued running shoes to use instead of boots for PT. They were New Balance and I have bought nothing but NB for 40 years! Please keep making the 990.

The shoe's inserts caused an imbalance to my knees. After removing the inserts all is well; although it costs you one star

As soon as my foot heals, they will be wonderful. Finally got the correct width and love them.

My husband has a very narrow foot (2AA) and these are the only shoes that fit him properly and are comfortable. So glad NB makes them.

I’ve always worn New Balance shoes. This one is very good. I always take 4E cuz I put my own custom orthotics inside. Very comfortable.. Correcting my over pronation.. now I have 2 pair. I don’t mind paying the price either.. my feet are more important than money..??

Having had a fracture on my left ankle, have the right shoe is important to me. So far this pair has been just what was required. I am a fan.

My usual shoe size is a 10. I ordered 10.5 as suggested but ended up returning the item for a size 10. Now, all is well.

this "lace problem" has occurred before. Forces me to go out and buy laces of the proper length

I use these shoes every day to walk. At 67 yrs old and a diabetic type 2. These shoes are very comfortable, easy to put on and good looking. I like New Balance because of the width choices and correct fit. This particular shoe is easy to put on straight out of the box. Evan my podiatrist mentioned how happy he was with the New Balance brand.

I have chronic pain in my back, legs, and feet. New Balance is the only shoe I have found that minimizes my discomfort. I use them for almost everything I do.

I started wearing New Balance shoes when I was into running for my exercise going back over thirty years ago. I'm now inn my eighties and running has slowed down to walking 3 to 4 miles a day but New Balance continues to treat my fit well.

I have been grand loyal to NB for years due to having some neuropathy and numbness. I've been wearing the 990v4 and always felt that they were a little snug in the mid section of my medium sized foot. The 990v5 has provided just the right around of width. In the past, I use to spend $50 for insoles for the 990v4 but with the 990v5 I can now spend $50 on something else. The molten/lava red are beautiful, they do make a statement.

Fit was true to others NB shoes I've had. Very light weight and stylish. The reinforced rubberized toe is great for scuff prevention and the rest of the materials feel of high quality. Great shoe.
