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.

My podiatrist prescribes these. He buys every similar shoe including all the expensive New Balance and their competitors to test-drive himself; for fallen arches, flat feet, and other foot issues, he prescribes 990's exclusively. They cannot be beat. It's all I wear until they wear holes in the top toe box, then go on Zappos and order two more pairs (one for indoors, one for outdoors). Fashionistas poo-poo the brand; they delude themselves. New Balance isn't cool? Made in the USA, best functional footwear you can get. I walk in them, run in them, live in them.

Not enough room in the toe area. I tried wearing them for days, but my toes ached badly. I had to return them.

This is my third pair of NB but first of this model shoe. Seem narrow for the size, despite 4E.

The top mesh is delicate for this type of shoe. My toe has worn through the top mesh.

Made in the USA is important as is consistent quality. I have bought the same style show for over 20 years and have never experienced a problem. For fit and wearability these New Balance have few equals, if any.

This is my third pair of 990's, I primarily used for them for leisure than when they become a bit worn I use them as a work shoe, they are comfortable and wear well. I wear a size 14 XW

Bought these 990v5's as a gift for my son's birthday. Best support and materials/construction ever! Gave them a Scotchgard treatment so they look great for years.

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

I had not worn until recently. The fit is not what I expected after having worn others of the same size ordered from you.

Thanks to New Balance for marketing a true extra narrow sneaker (size AA). These are the only sneakers I have found that actually fit my narrow foot.

these are great! quality of materials is awesome, they look good and are probably the most comfortable every day pair of shoes i own. Price tag is steep but if you can it is definitely worth every cent. if you don't mind a bit of a looser fit go true to size. if you want more snug go a half size down.

I always have difficulty finding comfortable shoes that also look good. These fit the bill and I bought them in two colors. They look good and feel good. A wonderful combination.

Probably the best shoes I purchased...this is the second pair...anyways great shoe...low stock in my size...not the color I really wanted, but I bought them because after months of waiting this color was the only one available...seems like a company the size of New Balance would keep stocked...

My husband LOVES these shoes and wants them in a darker color. He says they fit and feel better than other New Balance shoes he has.

Always been a fan of New Balance since late 1986, my Mom buying my first pair of 990's. When I was in Middle School, the all day comfort plus performance to wear throughout the years are by the greatest pair of sneakers that I can wear. The sneaker works better as it ages from normal wear. That says a lot for New Balance versus it's competitors. The 990v5 continues on a tradition for excellence in style, performance and comfort that I will continue to buy not only for myself but my Children as well. Even convinced my Father in Law to buy a pair and he enjoys them. I love to go to the NB store in Carle Place,NY cause they have Professionals who will give you a full measurement of your feet with the technology they have at the Store.
