This shoe is absolutely the best quality sneaker I have ever owned. This is my third pair. The support and comfort are superior to any other I have ever owned and they last a long time too. Please bring back the black/black color. It was my favorite.

I never had a pair of New Balance shoes before this pair. I saw a review about them and decided to give New Balance a try. I love these shoes. For me they have just the right blend of cushion and support. I also like the style and the color I selected. These are my new daily favorites.

Left shoe if bigger than the right. This is the second pair that had this issue. No it's not my feet. I'm 40 and this isn't my first pair of shoes. Zappos QC is lacking. My first order was for size 11. Left was bigger than right, so I returned and ordered a 10.5. Again, the left was bigger than the right. It's bigger by about 1 size. Feels horrible to wear waking around with 2 sizes. NB quality control and zappos QC needs improvement. I don't recommend these shoes from zappos unless you're right foot is bigger than your left.

Not a fan.
Shoe is bulky and clunky, think Frankenstein Boot and you’ll be close.
Very heavy material, lot of heat build up.
Worst of all, the tongue pulls to the outside of the shoe after a few steps, equally on both shoes; maddening. Hard to believe they built this shoe with no lace threader to keep the tongue in place.
I wish I could find a good point, but I can not.
NB never again.

Zappos and NB have horrible quality control. My Second pair with the one shoe that's a different size than the right. I usually wear 11, but the left shoe was too big, so I tried a 10.5, again the left shoe is too big. The right shoe is a good fit. I guess I need to try a 10, but after 2 attempts I'm worried that again one shoe will be a different size. No it's not my feet. I'm 40 and this isn't my first pair of shoes. Why is zappos sending out shoes with different sizes? How is that getting past QC at both NB and zappos? It's as if NB sent zappos a batch of mismatched shoes. I don't recommend buying 990s from zappos unless your left foot is bigger than your right.

My brother wears a 4E and needed a new pair of shoes as his old pair had completely fallen apart. Ordered him a pair online and they were delivered in less than 3 days. He says the fit, style and feel of them is outstanding. Highly recommend for anyone with larger feet! They are pricy but worked out perfectly!

Bought both a gray and a beige 990 V several years ago. Went back to my new balance store to replace both and found out you no longer make the beige color. Bought a new gray pair but really disappointed not to have a new beige pair to wear with my khakis or beige cargo shorts.

I purchased these to use on cement. I do lots of walking and standing. These were decent, but I found that my feet were hot.
Having purchased numerous shoes from different brands now trying to find the perfect one, I found after three different pairs from New Balance that New Balance is the ONLY brand that sends its shoes unlaced. While this may seem to be a small inconvenience, it is definitely an irritation to me.

I have used the 990 series shoe since V2 without issue. The wider toe box works great for my wide feet and the shoe holds up under the stress I put it through. I buy multiple pairs each purchase since I know this shoe does the job better than other brands I have tried.

I have worn New Balance footwear for many years. The fit, the construction and the support are hallmarks of the brand. Unfortunately, this most recent purchase had a quality control issue ... the upper lace holes on the right shoe were not opened through on the lining.

I have been wearing new balance sneakers for about 20 years now . Very disappointed in the quality the past 2 years. The classic 993 and 990 928 were always my favorites, well constructed and great support. I was happy to finally find a size I could wear( for 6 months could not find anywhere) but never this disappointed with the quality, the support is nothing like it should be, there spongy and feel a rolling sensation when walking in then. I truly don't know what happened to your quality and for being made in USA I am very upset.After 20 years I have to star looking for a new brand.

I am age 76. I have very narrow feet. An N width does not always work. This is an X-N. I still added another insert to get enough arch support for my old feet. This is a nice shoe. After lacing it all the way up and tying it, I can slip it off and back on with a shoe horn. I like that.

These are made in the USA and will hold up much better than any import.

I have always worn New Balance 990 model shoe. This 990 V5 takes the shoe to a new level. Very comfortable, supportive and nice looking. I will definitely purchase another pair.

I bought these in November of last year. I had an ankle replacement so I bought the best New Balance offers. The soles are coming apart now and I have only used 3 months. The company doesn't stand behind there product. I payed almost $200 for them. Really disappointed!!! I was advised by my podiatrist to purchase these shoes. I will let them know not to recommend them to any other patients.
