We buy a couple of pair of these every year, they are well made, comfortable and reliable. Thank you NB for making a true size 16!

Exactly as I expected from the USA made NBs. This is my third pair in the last 5 or 6 years.

These shoes are horrible, my podiatrist said I should use the shoes because of planter fasciitis, he must be thinking of couple years ago or something. I did and now I have been off my feet for 2 days with swollen feet and I need cortisone shots. The soles are hard as a rock. I bought 11.5 / 4E and they are a half size bigger than my size 12 / New Balance 1080’s.

the fit was fine,but my problem with the shoes was that the insole just didn't have any cushioning

My flat feet are very happy in these shoes. The support they offer is important too and that ois why I like them and glad they are offered in a wide width

Awesome shoe. Timeless. I’ve used this shoe for going on 30 years. Anytime I decided to use a different shoe, I regretted the decision. I’m 6’3”, 228. Enjoy!

although others keep suggesting that I try a different shoe maker, and I have hears ago, I always return to New Balance and specfically the 990 versions. Just a great shoe for me.

They’re made with quality materials and workmanship. They’re too expensive, but I feel it’s worth the cost to support American jobs.

NIce shoes, very comfortable....but part of the toe structure rubs right on my big toe, so, cannot be worn all day - maybe unique to my foot? I had to return them.

My husband and I have worn this shoe (or its previous generation equivalent) for many, many years. We have not found another athletic shoe that compares across the board in balance, foundational support, comfort and quality. We like the gray color because it's a pleasing neutral that seems to go with everything.

Reviewed at New Balance
I have purchased the variants of these over the years and this is the first pair that has the same issue as virtually all of the other shoes I have tried on from New Balance. For whatever reason, the front part of the shoe gets very tight across the top of it. Basically, there's a ton of pressure across the top of my foot right behind the toes. No amount of loosening up the laces helps this. I wear a size 15 shoe. I did try a size 16 a couple of months ago. That didn't have that pressure, but the shoe was too big as my foot kept sliding back and forth in the shoe. It's a sad day when a pair of Converse has more comfort than these shoes do. I don't understand the sacrifice of comfort for style. This is a complete misstep on their part.

Too soon to tell. Every brand new pair of shoes feels good for the first few days. The real question is what will they feel like 30, 60 or 90 days from now. The fit was exactly as expected. I should be writing this review three months from now.

Quite simply - the best sneaker currently on the market. Thanks for having them - NB has been out for several weeks with no indication of an inventory timeline.

The fit was great, both size and width. These shoes are excellent products, especially for people like me with narrow feet.
