Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

Everyday use as well as workouts, walking running as well as elliptical.

It is one of the ikonic shoes for New Balance. Fits well and wears well.

Bought 990's several years ago but went to 1260 for stability. I had noticed in recent years shoe last was dropping with 1260 getting only about 4 months. I went back to 990's because of stability claim and hoping Made in USA will get me more wear. Cost was a bit more than what I've been paying so if shoe last is about the same I'll be very disappointed.

Had the 990 V4 for a few years, and a good shoe. New Balance improved on it with the V5. Same great fit, but a better shoe I think. I like the solid one piece base. No more multiple layers of different materials. I think this is a better design. Same great fit. I got the all black version, no more white sole, so it looks sharp. I use it for walking and every day shoe and very happy with the V5 version, definitely better than the V4.

My favorite shoe. Outshines every other shoe I've ever worn! Made in the USA rocks !

I wear these everyday and they are comfortable....

I love these shoes!! It's been over 30 years since I owned a pair of New Balance. One reason is shoes being made in Red China, Vietnam, and Malaysia. Americans need to support hard-working Americans! Thank you, New Balance to keep Americans working!

very poor quality materials used too make these shoes

I've purchased these shoes at least three times and plan another purchase in a month or two. New Balance offers the size he needs and the quality is great.

Im glad they are made in US. Also, please make me some 6E golf shoes please

I do a lot of traveling. These are the only shoes I bring!

So far these are great for me the 6x wide are so nice the footbeds are also excellent

Have been using NB for fit ever since you first came out, except for brief period end of 70's-early 80s when you stopped making narrow sizes. I'm older now and have had both knees replaced and even one revision op, so walk now rather than run. But to me v5 is a definite downgrade from v4 - through v4 NB has had firm heel strike that adds lift at leg raise. v5 is like large pillow so heel sinks in w/o lift assist - must work noticeably harder to achieve same result. I have very narrow foot so want NB to continue to succeed and make narrow widths available. Suggest you jettison v5 config and go back to concept you've had successfully through v4 models. Only plus is it seems to be more forgiving while healing hip discomfort recently triggered by a baggage handling incident on plane flight.

Fantastic craftsmanship, and comfort I wear these shoes all the time

Greatest Shoes. Very comfort! I love it. Thanks for newbalance.

Upgraded classic grey 990. The v5 is the most comfortable shoe you can buy.

I use my 990's for my workouts. I just love my 990's. They are worn by me for everything. I am totally "WOW'D" by everyone at NB. From start to finish the order and customer service departments are like the sneakers. They are GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRREAT!.

I returned this shoe because the sole insert too thin. I expected more cushion. I love new balance and dunham and have had many pairs, but this did not feel good on my foot and was too expensive for what you got.

These 990's are very comfortable and stylish! For me, these are most appropriate for dress down days at work and they look great with jeans. I have two different colors (grey and blue). You won't be disappointed and your feet will love you for them.
