I walk three miles everyday, and so the 990 is absolutely necessity to say the least! The only issue I have is the sheer nylon material tears a little too easily. I wore the 993 for many years, but never had this problem. I sincerely hope New Balance will correct this.

The fit is perfect. I couldn't wait to get outside and try them out. They are my new favorite shoes.

Fit is awesome as expected. As long as I order "Made in the USA" New Balance shoes they fit and the 4E width is as expected. I've found the others truly lacking even in a 6E!

Yeah, It has great design with not bad walking filling. But, I think 993 has better walking filling than 990v5. 990v5 feels more harder than 993.

I am a heavy older USAF person and i have workouts and worn 990's since the 70's. They were excellent then and the 990v5 are a superior upgrade to an already outstanding shoe

Fit was perfect. Shoes are much more bouncy than the old ones they replace. I will be replacing them more frequently than once every 18 months from now on. Shoe strings are just the right length, they are laced without reaching the top most eyelet. I have fallen arches, so I use with corrective inserts, the shoes accommodate that well after removing the inserts that come with the shoes.

Probably the most underrated and comfortable shoe available. Quality is always good with the made in the US models.

This is exactly the shoe I was looking for. It fit well from the first wearing. So happy to have found a well-fitting narrow shoe.

I have returned them but haven't received the replacement pair. I ordered 10.5 D and they were too small and narrow. I am supposed to get an 11 E sent.

These are a perfect fit yo replace my old worn pair. Only problem was the difficulty in getting them as store could not get them and when we tried to order online it was not clear how to be sure we were ordering the correct width. No one at NB could explain they just kept saying it was on the web site. Finally figured out that 4E and XX are the same!!! We could have had them do much sooner if they would have explained clearly and answered our questions! But they are the best shoe snd worth the wait, especially for me as physically challenged.

General use it when it's to cold to go in Sandals . Been buying the 900 series for decades. Had 993's these seem easier to slip into with out untying and a little looser. I cycle the used pair into Gym shoes . Been buying these in 9.5 2E forever I don't even bother looking at anything else nobody does wide better.

I have run in 1540v2 for a few years now and every pair has been outstanding. Since I have purchased a new pair of the 1540v3 I am having knee, ankle, Achilles and toe problems. The shoe feels like my heel is sliding up and there seems to be too much room in the toe box. It is the same size I have been wearing for years and nothing has changed that I can tell. I hope to get a refund and find another shoe that I can run in. Every shoe I own is NB. They have always been the best.

Wear these shoes every day for hours at a time. Comfortable all day long with excellent cushion and support. I have arthritic hips and knees so a well made supportive shoe is essential to maintaining an active life. These shoes are the best I've worn by far. I have a second pair in navy so I can trade off. Highly recommend.

I started wearing NB shoes in the early 1990's. By the mid 90's I stepped up to the 990 series shoes and have never turned back. Love them in the classic grey/white and in the new 990V5 the black/grey looks great. The only parts I don't love are the interior material isn't as soft as the 993, and the price creep over the years. They are getting closer to 200. I understand though, because of the Quality and being made in the US by American workers! Still my favorite footwear all these years later!

Been running in 990s for a long timeincluding D1 college track. Only shoe that allowed me to avoid shin splints. Heavy but great support and cushioning (and when you put on flats after these it's like you're running barefoot)
