New Balance shoes are always comfortable.
The 990V5 shoe looks similar in design to the 993, but it actually has a different charm. I recommend that everyone reading this review have both the 993 and 990 models.

I've been very satisfying with 990V5. It's been about a month since I got this pair and its one of the comfiest shoe in the world. I would recommend to everyone especially who stand up every day while working.

I have wore NB Training shoes in a 10.5 B for you years but my feet must be changing, so ordered these in 11B. I recall wearing this NB Model a few pairs back, I forgot how great they feel.

I now only wear 990v5 when I go out for a long walk. I feel I can go on forever! The heel support is real folks! Best purchase I've ever made. My feet no longer hurt, especially since it's a shoe that can accommodate a person with flat feet like myself. Thank you to everyone over at New Balance!

Being a size 16 it gets difficult to find a decent sneaker for my long walks. I’m averaging 10 miles a day on the road and require a sneaker that can hold up to that many miles as well as my large frame. New Balance has been the sneaker I’ve turned to for decades. The 990v5 is what works for me as I have transitioned from running to walking.
Zappos makes it easy to get a difficult to find sneaker to me in a few days. The only knock is I haven’t seen this sneaker in this size go on sale anywhere including Zappos. It’s as if I’m being punished for having a size 16. $200 for a sneaker that quickly gets enough miles on them to have to be replaced is unfortunate.
I will continue to stick with Zappos as it is one of the most reliable and trusted places to purchase shoes. It’s as if someone is literally waiting around the corner with my size 16’s ready to deliver?

My feet are very difficult to fit -- only two brands will work. I love the shoes, they fit well, but I had to replace the laces with gray. White laces on these shoes are garish.

Walk an average of 5+ miles per day. Very comfortable shoe and supports my feet well. I order one size larger than my regular leather shoes

The comfort on this shoes is it’s biggest asset. The style is a bit “dad”. The reason why I will not buy these made in America sneakers is because of the lack of durability. The soles are still in great shape after 4 months but the mesh at the big toe area is shot. You are better off buying the $60 sneaks and getting three for the price of one.

I’ve always been an athlete who wears a narrow width shoe, 10.5 B. I think at almost 60 my feet have changed but the 11B feels great.

The only reason I give it four stars out of five is I wanted black and you did not have a black NB 993 in my size. I have come to your website several times in the last few months and never could find the black shoe in my size. I have worn 993's for years.

Shoes fit well and show quality of made in USA. On the other hand, shoes are expensive (now approaching $200) and wear out with 3 or 4 months of daily use.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks beast were pretty good until Brooks introduced a new model in 2020. Now NB work better for me

After breaking my ankle, it was important to find a shoe that would provide support as the healing process. My physical therapist recomended New Balance. That was 12 years a go. I have worn them ever since.

This has always been my go-to shoe for knocking around, because it's the only one that comes in my xtra narrow width. It's a bit heavy for running, but unless you do a lot of long distance training it shouldn't be a problem. The design is functional, and comfortable. I've rarely experienced injuries that were shoe related while wearing the 990, and that's only because I was pushing my training too much; most likely. A great shoe for those of us that are hard to fit!

The shoes fit really comfortably and can be used with any outfit and any occasion. The ortholite sole makes the shoe especially great for moving around all day or standing in place for periods of time. Overall the shoe is great.
