I recently moved from one apartment to another in the same complex, and about half way through, my feet were killing me. I had been wearing work boots, because I didn't want to drop anything and break any of my toes. My wife suggested I try my newly purchased 990v5s, and I'm glad she did, because as soon as I put them on, the pain started easing up.
I've had issues with my ankles my entire life, and I've only found a few (non-prescription) footwear options that actually help - and I'm happy to say that these are incredible for me.
If you're on the fence on these, like I was for a while, get off that fence and buy them! You won't regret it.

Good product, size an issue. I'm hard to fit and, therefore, normally don't buy on line. All dealings for return and refund with NB went well. Would purchase from them again.

Fit and size very good. Width was perfect. Arch support is moderate. My previous shoe was a New Balance 940. I use the shoe to walk. Walked this morning for 4.75 miles for the first time. Felt great. Much better fit than my prior 940s. This will likely be my shoe in the future.

For me, 75 year old feet and knees, these are what keeps me active, and exercised! Just the best fit, and the most support and comfort.

This is the only athletic shoe I know of that comes in extra narrow widths, and as a result have owned many pairs over the years. But because there are no half sizes over 12, I have to order a half size longer than needed, and have the same problem over, and over, and over. My big toe pokes a hole thru the webbing just behind the front leather toe plate. As a result, I'm having to replace them well before their intended life.

I am 44 and run about 12-15 miles a week to support my beer habit. I have been running in these shoes almost exclusively for 15 years. They provide the best support for my feet and have put an end to a couple of stress fracture incidents I had in other shoes. Even though they are your grandpa's running shoes they are still the best for me.
The reason they do not get five stars has everything to do with New Balance being unwilling to include them in the majority of their promotions. I buy two pair a year and it would be great to find an additional deal hear and there. Thanks again, great shoes!

I was late to the party on the 990V5. I overpronate, and these are a great stiff stability shoe. They're not insanely cushy, but still super comfortable all day. Immediately bought a 2nd pair in grey. Well done.

Worn NB shoes since 1980. I have a 13 DD foot, with plantar fasciitis, so only certain shoes can give me what I need: solid fit, good support and the outstanding performance. Performance means good traction on all kinds of surfaces and temperatures. I live in Minnesota where I face ice, rain, snow and heat. To top it off, what shoe is cooler for mall walking.

Put off spending this much for a pair of sneakers because I had a feeling once I did this would be the standard. I was correct. These are the most comfortable athletic/leisure shoes that have ever graced my feet.

Great walking shoes. Putting on 5 to 8 miles per day. Shoes provide comfortable firm support.

My foot doctor saw my NB and loved them. I need a wide size plus a rounded toe so not hurt my foot and they are great

I have been buying 990s for the past 8 years and never failed on me. They are expensive compared to other models or competitor, but they worth every penny i paid.

I have only the best words to say about these shoes. I have been purchasing these for the last five years. I usually change them out every 6 to 8 months due to the fact that I am always wearing them. They are the most comfortable shoes I have ever owned. The 990v5 is a newer style but still the same as the proven 990. This shoe shows a little more support at the heal, which I like. I have a narrow foot, so I can order these in a B width, unlike most shoes out there. I also like that they are made here in the USA. Please keep making these shoes here in the USA, I think that is where these out perform other shoes out there. Thank you.

Shoe size and fit as expected. I order the New Balance 990 style each time and there is no variation in size or fit. It's a good shoe and I recommend it to anyone.

Jog almost daily. Several years ago my feet were hurting and my brother suggested NB 990. I tried and they are good for 350 miles or so. Due to screw in my right ankle I wear the heals down by then.

I already knew my shoe style and size. To keep safe during the current health restrictions, online order was the perfect solution. Order arrived on time and of course the quality is great.

This is the 3rd pair of Men's New Balance 990's that I have purchased in the past decade and a half. Each pair was comfortable, lightweight, extremely supportive, and incredibly tough. You can wear these shoes all day and they remain comfortable. Every pair has lasted 5 years or more; I still use my 2nd pair in my gym when I work out. Made in the USA, as well! Expensive, but well worth the price!
