I use this shoe for everything. I'm on my feet all the time. However, I originally purchased a standard width shoe and had to exchange for a narrow because my feet felt like they were sliding all over the inside of the shoe. Now they're just right.

I've been wearing NB 990s for well over a decade. Durable and comfortable, they're perfectly suited for jogging and walking on a daily basis. The 990v5 pair I got recently seemed a bit stiff out of the box--more so than the v4s I've worn for years. I wore the new pair around the house for a couple of days, and now that I've started jogging in them, they feel absolutely great. Kudos to NB for the latest version of a great shoe!

I went to undergrad at Howard and had my eyes open to the classic New Balance 900 series. Started with 993s and now the 990s. Classic comfort and a great conversation piece when I talk to native Washingtonians.

I'm so grateful that New Balance makes this comfortable, good-looking shoe in a narrow width. It is very hard to find narrow widths!

I am hard to fit.. I wear a 14 narrow and I have had every version and color of this shoe. It's great.

I only purchase new balance shoes for myself and family. Quality and comfort are very important to me. Please never stop making these shoes.

While the shoes are comfortable, I do not enjoy wearing them for two reasons: 1. They are incredibly heavy, so very heavy. 2. There is not any ventilation and my feet get too hot, as in flaming hot. So, if I wear them at all, they will be shoes for cold winter days.

These are one of the few pairs of shoe my husband can wear with his plantar fasciitis problem. He has worn this style for over 10 years.

No more adidas boost or nike air sneakers for me! This is by far the most comfortable sneaker and you don't need to break it in. It's comfortable from the first time you put your feet in them. I have wide feet and the 4E option fits me just right instead of having to go up half or a full size sneaker in other brands.

I had previously purchased these in size 8 but returned those because they were a half size too big for my son. These came covered in pet hair.. I will not keep them.

Bought these for my son. His shoe size for Nike is 8 and ordered these in size 8 (based on recommended fit by Zappos) and they were too big for him. Will return these and get 7.5 instead.

These are the best sneakers you will own. The handmade quality is second to none. Made in the USA! I hope New Balance and Bean do another collab and make a fire shoe. They are a little narrow this iteration, so I went a little wider. The blue are my fav. They feel so comfortable and great impact protection. Cop them!

I’ve bought every model of these forever...990, 991, 992, 993, 990v1, 990v2, 990v3, 990v4...this has always been my favorite shoe. The 990v5’s are terrible. It feels like a totally different shoe. Not compatible with me.

Amazing quality. The hand-made in the USA makes all the difference. You will not find this quality in any other sneaker brand. Worth the money 10 times over.

I was a little apprehensive about spending this much on sneakers. But I have to say it was so worth it! The shoes are super comfortable! I ordered a half size bigger in the wide and they fit perfectly. Highly recommend!!!

Yeah the US made 990's are expensive, but if you have narrow feet this is the only way to go. I can't find AA's anywhere else.

Great shoe good fit, for those that say the tongue slides down should try putting the laces thru the cut out on the tongue where it says 990, that’s what it is for.......... then your laces won’t slide down. Figured that out 10 years ago?.
I'd also recommend:
