I need my shoes to last at least a couple months. These only lasted about 2 weeks. The new balance outlet I bought them from was horrible, and now the shoe wants to slip off. I really would have expected more since I buy multiple pairs a year.

Unfortunately have large and wide feet has always been a problem for finding comfortable shoes. New balance had always helped by offering double wide fit. Unfortunately all of their better looking shoes were unavailable in wide fit and of the three pairs that I ordered in double wide only one actually fit. I recently found two other brands that fit better and were available in their better designs.
Sorry,

New Balance is my go to for supportive great fitting shoes. These 990v5's don't provide the fit and support I'm use to from NB, especially at this price. I'm not satisfied with this purchase.

Really disappointed . The sole of the 990v5 is hard as a rock . I wonder if New Balance changed the material composition of the sole. Was killing my feet . In addition after only 100 miles the tounge fell off. I'm now a Brooks Ghost 14 customer . For the price paid inexcusable.

I compared these to previous New Balance running shoes which fit. Nominally the same size (11- 4E width). The "Arishi v3" soles measure a full 1/4" narrower. Painful to wear.

I have severs disease in both heels, and I have had it for years. I have been wearing new balance for about 8 years now. I started with the 990 v3s, and then the v4s. The v5s I have had for a year and a half and they are god awful. They are the worst new balance product I have received, they do not comfort my severs disease like the v4's did. I hope that New balance goes back and adds the V4s back in all sizes, and widths!

They fit larger than my size….couldn’t speak to comfort and style as the shoe was unavailable in a 1/2 size smaller when I went to re order.

Gave these shoes as a gift. When he opened them up the shoes were scuffed on the bottom and there was hair in the box. It was so embarrassing to discoverer this. Couldn't even return due to it being a gift.

The computer fit at New Balance store in Evergreen walk was a complete joke just marketing hype. I purchased these made in USA sneakers hoping for comfort in walking. The fit specialist said they run small and suggested next 1/2 size up and he insisted on use of the add on Ortho insert. In real world walking the toe box was extremely narrow and compressed on cobblestone streets especially as well as sidewalks resulting in sharp pain. The fit specialist knew the surfaces I was going to be walking on. This was a complete waste of money on a very expensive made in USA sneaker.

I have not even tried this shoe on. It is used and came without its accompanying box and I also found a note in the shoe indicating that the stitching is wrong. I am sorry, I cannot accept this shoe.

I wear a 12 -4E in Asics and Brooks and my podiatrist has told me I should wear these shoes. The soles are hard as a rock and I have had to size down to 11’s and they still feel big. I could only get it gray which I hate so I am returning them.
I'd also recommend:

Grossly overpriced and certainly not aa width. Maybe b width at best. Can't tell much difference from these to my cheap Asian imported court shoes. Very disappointed!

Had this shoe for a couple of years. It wasn't completely separated, but enough to where I couldn't wear them on wet surfaces. Water would seep in and get my socks wet. At the price I paid for these shoes, I expected them to be more sturdy and have a longer longevity.

really disappointed when the sole become unattattached in the rear of my left shoe. Never had this happen before. Tried using super glue before discarding them: they had so much life left otherwise.

I've ordered a number of shoes from you, and these did not compare favorably with previous New Balance orders. Being able to return is one of the important reasons I shop at Zappos. Always excellent service.

the soles literally CRUNCH as I walk across a floor; no where near the amount of support the older versions had either. A definitely disappointing purchase, hardly worth half the purchase price

Thought these would be great. Didn't mind paying extra for made in USA. No arch support. The sole insert in left shoe came out within two weeks.
