Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs NarrowRuns Wide
Poor SupportGreat Support
These sneakers fit perfectly, and wearing them is a pleasure on my hour or more walks! Thankfully I have found a brand, size, and model of sneaker that works for me and have gotten them three times in a row, each time with supreme satisfaction.
The great color is stylish and nicely neutral, so I can wear it with anything. Also, this color is good for hiding any dirt that might build up. The medium-width version nicely holds the top of my foot securely when the laces are tied, with plenty of room for the gradual tightening up of the space at the tongue under the laces over time, so my foot stays comfortable.

These are wonderful shoes. I made a point of getting the exact same shoe again because of my excellent experience with the last one.

I've been having hip pain and these shoes are a game changer! They are so comfortable for long walks - I used to be sore after even a km or two and now I can walk all day pain free.
The price tag is definitely steep but they were totally worth it. I think I might buy another pair because they are all I wear now

I HAD TO SEND A PAIR OF NEW BALANCE BACK AS THEY WERE SO CHEAPLY MADE. I LIKE THE 990V5'S THE ARE CLOSE TO THE 993'S THAT HAVE WORN FOR YEARS. I WISH I COULD GET A PAIR OF THEM. THE 990V5 ARE GOOD. I REALLY LIKE THEM. THE PRICE IS HIGH, BUT THEY ARE MADE IN AMERICAN.

For all of my 70+ years of adult life, NB has always been my go-to brand of shoe especially for running and weight training. I haven't seen anything advertised that would be better for my lifestyle.

Have worn 990's for years . I made a typo on my order but was told it could not be corrected or canceled . Wound up chasing the package for three days. If not for a heads up UPS person it was lost. How ignorant is it to not let a customer correct a mistake ?

This is the third pair of sneakers we have purchased
It is hard to fine 4E wide shoes that fit. They hold up to daily wear. Comfortable.

This is the second pair of Men's New Balance 990v5 shoes. They fit perfectly and the most comfortable shoe that I have ever owned. I use the shoe to workout and for everyday use. Thank you L.L. Bean.

I use the product to run. I am not a long distance runner, but only run a couple miles per day. The new shoes are horrible. Very surprised. I had a previous pair of new balance shoes and they were great. I need to return these. they are like running on planks.

I was pleased to be able to find a quality pair of Tennis Shoes made in the USA. I'm pleased with the quality and comfort of the shoe. Now I would like New Balance to consider making some type of slip-on Mocs also made in the USA.

I usually buy NB 928's which are very similar to these, but are imported and cost about $40.00 less. I have not worn these NB 990's long enough to give an accurate review. I need to replace the insoles, as these offer no support. If you have good normal feet, the insoles may be fine for you. For an American made product costing close to $200.00 they should supply a decent pair of laces, instead they give you a cheap pair of white laces that are too long for the shoes. The NB 928's come with a very nice pair of color coded correct length laces. I'll update this review when I can give an accurate review on comfort and wear of the NB 990's.

I have worn this shoe for almost 30 years. It was difficult to find the shoe in my size in a store. I was very grateful that New Balance could ship it to me.

Online purchase.
Know your foot width - I just started paying close attention to this.
My daughter worked for New Balance in L.A. for about a year. She always told me about their quality shoes in casual conversation. I believe she told me back then to get a pair.......
My couple NB shoe purchases were average.
I should've listened to her then.
These shoes are the most comfortable pair of tennis shoes I think I have ever purchased and put on my feet.
I have issues with high arches, fasciitis AND a deformed Lisfranc joint.
I should've taken her advice sooner.
I will check back...
I have only been wearing them for 90 minutes - time will tell!

The 990v5 is outstanding looks-wise, but the comfort level has dropped some from the 990v4. The footbed seems to be thinner than the v4 and my feet start hurting much more quickly.
