I'm disappointed they changed this shoe. I ordered a pair last November and was pleasantly surprised to find that I could wear this shoe without an insert due to the excellent arch support. Just reordered the exact same shoe and it feels like there's zero arch support. My foot feels like it's collapsing inwards with each step.
Is the shape of my foot so rare that no one makes a shoe for it? I need a very wide shoe with high arch support if anyone has recommendations.
In the meantime I guess I'll spend sixty bucks on inserts to make the shoe wearable.

It's really comfortable and fitting for my feet. Thanks for the width choices, I took 2E in 9.5. None of other shoes can feel like this, extremely perfect!
I think because most of the sneaker company don't have the width choices, for the wider feet or over 45 years old people, we always choose bigger size to fit the width. So, many people said this 990v5 run larger, I think it's really run "real" true size when you select the correct width.
(for your reference, my other New Balance standard D width is size 10, Nike AF1 is 10 or 10.5)

My husband (a big guy 6ft 6in Tall 260lbs) has been wearing US990v5 shoes for years. The most comfortable, and long wearing shoe.

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

I have no idea how many pairs I've had of these shoes over the years but I wouldn't run in anything else.

I spend a lot of time on my feet, and now that I'm in my 70's my feet aren't as happy as they used to be. My Podiatrist recommended this brand of shoe in a 2E width. Wow, these are far more comfortable than what I was wearing before. My feet are much happier and so am I.

These are by far the most comfortable shoes I have even owned. Perfect for wide feet, and by far the most comfortable shoe I've ever worn. Don't balk at the price tag. Made in the USA and my last pair lasted 5 years.

Fit is perfect. I used the online template to pick the correct size. Super comfortable. You can wear them all day and barely know you're wearing them at all.

This is the only shoe that I can use with no issues. I am a narrow wide. Can not buy anywhere else.

the fit is perfect but the collar is too high or the tongue is too short, causing it to rub on my ankle bone. if I just skip the last hole for the laces it makes the shoe too loose.

I have been wearing 990's for years. They are luxury liners for my feet.
It is great that I can get a wide size for my wide feet.

Finding long and narrow shoes that fit properly has always been a challenge. NO off the shelf, no matter the price, fit properly. Boots have to be custom made at $1200 a pop. Reluctantly, I purchased these $200 AA's and went up 1/2 a size. Surprisingly, these shoes are the bomb! Very happy with this purchase.

I have worn the shoes everyday for the past two years. They are built to last. The soles wore out a little, but otherwise the shoes held up spectacularly. They are extremely comfortable and I plan on getting another pair.

I order online direct from New Balance as other sites are not uniform on the width selection terminology. Only at New Balance can I order width "D" and get what I need. Other sites use other references and I'm never sure those terms equates to the "D" width. In the past, from Amazon, I had to send back shoes for being too wide as their width terms were (and still are) different from the New Balance site. No guessing at the New Balance site.

I love the sneakers but the tongue of the shoes is too small. It slides from one side to the other and is most annoying.

This is a really nice American made shoe and it is really comfortable. I've always bought their Made in America shoes and I won't stop now.
