Customer Reviews New Balance Made in US 990v5

This is my 10th pair of NB top of the line shoes and I've never been disappointed. I have a very wide foot and these are the only shoes that feel comfortable as soon as you put them on.

These are the only shoes of almost any kind that fit me, a size 12 AA. I use them to walk and knock about in. The only problem is they are cut just a little too high for my flat feet, thus impacting my ankle bone somewhat. Otherwise, very comfortable and I love them.

old guy walking. podiatrist recommended new balance to me 50 years or so ago. hasn't been wrong.

They work great! I'm a person who supinates, especially near the front of my feet, basically what that means is that typically the point with the most pressure during a stride is the upper right/left {depending on which foot} quadrant of my foot. Because of this EVERY shoe I have owned so far has worn down to a gapping hole in that part of my shoe. So far these seem to be the exception. Using NB's language I needed a "Neutral Cushioning" shoe and I wanted to see what happened if I actually put my money where my mouth is, or "feet" in this case ;). I've had them for a bit now, the exterior, outside facing soul seems really durable, no visible wear yet. The shoe is very conformable, I am a wide shoe in every brand but the wide option on these seems a bit wider than others, so it fits a little too loose in side-to-side direction. The length is spot on though and overall they fit very well. The support {which for me this is key} seems to be the best of any shoe I have ever bought. I can wear these for very long walks with my dog on various terrains and they still feel great.

I was a little nervous purchasing these shoes online without trying them first. Now that i've walked over 120 miles, I can say I'm thrilled that I bought them. They were a little stiff the first few times I wore them but they fit perfectly with great heel fit. I wear them with cushioned socks and haven't had any slippage of my feet inside the shoes. I will definitely buy them again when I need to replace this pair.

I've been wearing variants of NB's 990 shoes for years and years. They are simply the best overall running and walking shoes I've ever owned. Fit is certainly subjective, but the fit, and therefore comfort, of these shoes is terrific. Wear is not as subjective and these shoes last for a zillion miles (or so it seems). Seriously, they do eventually wear out and I've just thrown out a pair with numerous holes, but they do last a long time and they've provided great value.

These are great shoes for bad feet that need extra support. I wish they lasted longer than 6 months before breaking down though.

Wish you had a bigger selection of US made shoes bought in color and style.

Fantastic, comfortable and well made walking shoe. Walk is both smooth and supportive while shoe is also light, hope they last for years.

nice sneakers but too big wrong size i would buy them again

The shoes are comfortable and fit well. This is my third pair.

I wanted All Black/Black, and they don't make those in Women's, so I ordered an 8 1/2 WIDE Men's. Just trying them on now - haven't walked outside yet. They are comfortable, and true to size, but I expected much more arch support for the money they cost. I didn't want to buy an insert, but I may have to. If you tend to pronate, you will need more arch support than what these shoes offer. Because they are Men's size, it is a little high for me near the ankle, and rubs a bit. Thicker socks and an insert might help that. I am keeping them anyway, because I need All Black shoes, And I can make them work. Please make this color in Women's sizes!

They seem to have changed the 990 from V4 to V5. The V5 is now hitting my left ankle bone, the V4 didn't bother it.

The toe box on these shoes has been reduced by 1/2". the hurt my toes. I have the same shoes I ordered last time with a nice wide toe box. Will have to send these back.
