May not have been right fit, but I bought this per podiatrist's recommendations for better support. I have post tibial tendinitis due to underpronation. It was quite uncomfortable and I actually injured my knee while wearing it on treadmill for first time. I immediately went to Nb store to get refunded and got 880 version 10'which worked much better

Very supportive and cushioning. A perfect fit. A little heavy but worth it. Great for heavy runners

Fit is fine, but I generally order a half size larger in New Balance shoes as compared to other brands. Width find. Very comfortable shoes with good support for walking. Not tried running yet. A little clunky looking with a broad forefoot, though not too wide for foot.

My husband likes it very much and we bought it for my son as his birthday gift. We got size 8, but it is longer, so have to return it and will buy size 7.5 again.

I wrote another review earlier and forgot something. Customers have complained that there is no place to run the laces through...in order to keep the tongue centered. Yes, there is. It is at the bottom of the flag on the tongue. A small opening slot is there for the specific purpose of criss-crossing laces.. check it out

I have limited feedback, but what I have is positive. According to the birthday boy, these are the most comfortable shoes he's ever worn.
That's it. Sorry.

These are 4E which is the width I have to wear....in a mens shoe.....even though I am female. The shoes are expensive but worth it because of the quality and durability.

At first I was very excited to see that most of the shoe was made in the USA. I was very happy that the shoe had a nice wide toe box as I have a wide foot / 13. I ended up ordering the 13 wide and it fit perfectly. I also picked up the new balance thin insert and they have worked really well. I mostly use the treadmill but could see these working well on the road as well. I'm really impressed with the quality of the shoe and am excited to see how long they last vs other shoes that I have used from NB that are about $50 less

I have purchased this style of NB for years and this new version isn't the same quality. I felt the difference but, thought I would break in over time but, they started to cause foot pain. I would not recommend I contact NB and no response from customer service.

These shoes are one of the few made in the USA, and in a large variety of widths. The quality and fit are superior to most everything offered from offshore production. They are expensive, but you get quality and good fit for the price, and they will last quite a long time. I have been wearing the 993’s for many years, but I believe NB has discontinued production and substituted the 990 V5, so I purchased these. They seem to be very similar, and I have not been able to find a foreign or domestic shoe that compares, so if you do a lot of walking on city sidewalks, try them. I think you will find they are in a class by themselves.

I just stick with New Balance made in USA 990 series. I have not found a substitute.

I wanted to love this shoe but after trying wear it for 1 week my feet where in pain.The 990v5 has an issue with the bottom inside heal area,not sure if other people have the same issue but theres something the squeezes and digs your heels on the bottom sides and insole bottoms of the shoe area.
After wearing them for a couple of hours this causes your heals of your feet to hurt.I tried to see if they just needed to be broken in but this did not change after wearing them for a week,could not return due to wearing them.
the quality of the shoe is amazing,its well built and also look great but this one flaw in the inside heal area makes me wish I never bought the shoe.

The dispatch was fast and the 2E width is perfect, no complaint for the item itself but the outer box packaging can be done better.

I always wore NB 992 but they wer no longer available. The 990v5 sized 9.5 4E was way too large, compared to the 992. Will try a size smaller.

This is my second pair of NB 990 series shoes. The 990v5 fit me the same as the v4s that I had worn out after more than 3 years of regular, daily use. Mostly used for walking and casual wear. I am not a runner. They are expensive but well worth it in terms of fit, style and durability. As I've grown older I appreciate good fitting shoes more and more.

After buying many pairs of ill-fitting shoes, I believe this is the correct size and look for me. Attractive, but a bit dated in appearance and just exactly what I was looking for.
Thanks New Balance and Zappos. Finally, a shoe for me ??.
