These shoes are awesome!! They are excellent for everyday running or walking. The comfort is outstanding. I purchase a pair every spring. I still have pairs from years ago which speaks volumes to their durability. The only reason why I purchase them annually is because I get them dirty.

The size was too large. I sent a note that I would like to exchange the 10 EE for a size 10 D. If you check your records it would show that I have purchased a 10 D shoe in the past. I can just reorder if that is more simple. Please respond by email.

Excellent shoes from New Balance. If you have wide feet like myself I can tell you these fit very well (I'm a 4E width). They don't feel like they need to be broken in, they feel very well made, and I plan on buying a second pair in black some time soon. Only issue I see on these is the price. New balance knows they can charge $185 for a really great pair of shoes though lol. If you're on your feet a lot I'd say they're worth the $185.

These are most comfortable and versatile shoes I own. Only regret is that I only have only two feet for them.

New Balance really blew it when they discontinued the 1260.
I have not found a good replacement

These feel almost exactly the same on my feet as the pair of first generation 990s I have worn for many years. I hope the soles don't start to peel apart on this pair like the last ones did! These are otherwise excellent shoes, fitting my difficult feet (14 EE) and very stable with good cushioning.
I put off mentioning the peeling bottom layer on the soles on the last pair - they probably would have replaced them for me.

I bought a black pair and wear them all the time. It took me a few days to break them end, but after that, they became my go to shoe. I like them so much, that I just purchased a second pair, just in case something happens to my current pair. They are worth the money IMO.

My son seems to be happy with his 990v5 NB shoes. He wears size 16 EE so there are not a lot of choices.

I fell in love with this shoe! I will NEVER BUY anything else from now on. I work at a large hospital and do a lot of walking! My average daily steps are anywhere between 10 - 13,000! So needless to say I've found what I need!!

I work in a fast paced retail environment and need a shoe that supports my feet as well as knees and hips. I typically take over 15000 steps daily, walking more than six miles over the course of an eight hour shift. Regular running shoes do not provide the cushioning I want plus they are a lower volume shoe...meant to be tight on the foot. I wanted more cushioning on the top of my feet so that circulation would not be diminished as my feet swell over the course of the day.
I also wear a pair of New Balance 1080 GY8 but I think the 990 offers a bit more cushion in the tongue. I replaced the insole with a semi-custom heat moldable insole. I've had these for only three weeks and will be interested to learn how lonf they will hold up. The 1080s are over eighteen months old and still going.

NB 990 is a classic shoe. It's comfortable, stylish, and fits well right out of the box. Version 5 is on the mark and as long as NB keeps up the good work, I will keep buying this classic.

I ordered my pair of 990v5 and was excited to see the order process after 1 week of waiting I get and email that they ran out of stock . I am very disappointed due to the fact this is the actual retailer that makes the shoe not a regular shoe store that would be understandable.

I have to used these shoes as they are the only ones that offer the proper support I require after foot surgery. NB has a customer for life in me.

Hi, I love this shoe and have bergen buying it for about 30 years through the various changes in its number. Owing to a car accident many years ago, my feet are extra wide, so I need the men's 6W width. Keep it available, please. However, I have been having difficulty in finding my size in the all black color , my dress shoes. Any help there? Thanks

I owned the 990v3 and v4 and these feel just as good to me. There was a comment or two about how they did away with the loop on the tongue to keep your laces up but it's the exact same as the v4. I've attached a pic for people (it wasn't obvious to me at first either). And it does take a little to feed the lace through there, but it works. Otherwise, when I first put them on, the left foot felt a little snug (it's bigger than the right foot). But after I wore them around the house for an hour they were great.
