Have been wearing these almost every day for 7 months and they are amazing. Best running/jogging shoes I have ever had. Fit perfectly and extremely comfortable.

The US 990v5 looked good, felt great, but the toe box was slightly too tight side-to-side and top to bottom. I did not feel that it would be comfortable walking in the Florida heat. Most 2E shoes would have fit. I have sent them back. When I receive my credit, I am going to order a X-Wide, which is a first for me.

Wide is what I like! The 990 is a durable shoe, made in the good ole USA!

The price is high, you know it, NB knows it. You buy them because you are older, you ache getting out of bed, and you pull muscles changing the toilet paper roll. Do they magically transform your feet into pillows of clouds whence you prance around like a 12 year old that you wish you were? No. These are shoes you get when you finally admit you need a good, comfortable pair of shoes that will last over a year, dagnabit. You stop denying you are getting older, and accept your fate. You look at the mid life crisis car in your garage, sigh, and close the door. Accept your age, accept New Balance, and now accept your lower balance in your checking account. Have some dignity though, get the black on black, we're not animals here.

Overall very good. Extra narrow width felt like what I am accustomed to narrow width but still a good comfortable fit. I put in 7+ miles every weekday. I'm happier with these than with all the others I've bought from Zappos before. Style is not great but I don't care about that.

Timeless style. Not a fan of insoles, but they are removable so I got my own. Well constructed all around. I'd recommend half size down unless you use your own thicker insoles.

Shoe is great. Quality made quality materials. Looks like a different insole however. The older ones were much more cushioned. I don't care for this one, and the replacements from new balance are $60.

On my 2nd pair, the last pair lasted 3 years. When you have a AA width in an 11.5 shoe, the only good casual shoe on the market is New Balance. They are comfortable and well made. I wear them daily. My only complaint is that the shoe laces are too long for us guys with skinny feet but that is easily corrected with a pair of 36 inch laces. This current pair is my reserve pair for when my current pair wear our. I should still have at least 2 years left in them.

I served 30 years in the Army. At 65, I continue to run/walk approximately 30 miles a week. I have exclusively purchased made in USA New Balance for at least 25 years. I do not have back pain or sore knees.

30 years old male always looking to stay fresh. I have a big foot and wear size 13 and they are skinny feet at that. I love these shoes and own 4 pairs of different colors. These shoes are comfortable and make life easier day to day at work. The basically go with anything and can wear them with a nice pair of khakis and a dress shirt. People might say they are dad shoes, which they are, but I love them and would not trade my new balances for anything!

This is the fifth pair of these 990v5's for me. They give great support to my feet and ankles for walking. They also keep me balanced in my steps. I haven't found anything better.
