I use these shoes every day to work I had a pair of them before and they lasted me like almost 3 years. Super comfy if you have to stand all day on your feet at work and work on concrete. Good if you have planter fasciitis and knee problems.

Great shoes. Very comfortable. As a nurse, I I have worn this particular New Balance shoe for years. I love the Navy Blue. I’ve had the gray in the past, they were nice too. Fast delivery and just as ordered.

My podiatrist recommended New Balance sneakers for their support and their generous toe box. I was very happy to find this style in navy blue, my basic color. They are comfortable and attractive. What's not to love?!.

As a senior, I need stability and support. These shoes provide both. I think this is my 4th or 5th pair. Love the navy blue color, too.

These sneakers were recommended to me by my podiatrist. I am a RN and am on my feet all day. My orthotics fit in sneaker. My feet have not hurt since wearing theses. These are my fifth pair. I would definitely recommend them.

I have 3 pairs of this exact shoe. One for city walking which I keep really clean, one for trail hikes, and one for wet and muddy jobs like gardening. Super comfortable and supportive. I only wish there were more colors.

Well made and comfortable. Could still wear 990s when it's 70 degrees outside. But not much more than that. As usually runs half size large.

I wear the shoe for work!
New Balance is the only shoe I have worn for work. I work in a clinic and I am up and down every hour. My podiatrist made my orthotics and the New Balance sneakers are my life saver!

I have problems with my feet, I can't wear just any shoe. These shoes are awesome, my feet do not hurt at all!! I have worn them on walks and all day, they feel great on my feet. A plus... Made in the USA!!

Perfect fit, perfect comfort, perfect for all-all-around use. I wear a size 9 X-Wide. I purchased the color blue; I plan to purchase the grey. I hope they never stop making these. My last pair lasted for many years. I still have them and wear them when I'm in the garden/doing jobs.

The fit and comfort were a selling point for me. I have very flat feet that I also need an extra wide shoe for, and the 990 v5 are very comfortable and fit my orthotics.

I love the 990 SERIES i have been wearing since my first knee surgery
great support and comfort.
only thing price keeps going up and the colors are boring. I love the Grey and Pink for breast cancer awareness, but you stopped it.
i have the three colors navy gray and black
how about something new
these are the only shoes I wear for my feet and knees
thanks

Wowza! More than I've been used to paying for sneakers -- but the quality is superior. These shoes are built to last, and feel like a dream to walk in. Go great, go USA-made.

These are the ultimate 90s soccer mom accessory and SO comfortable to boot. I've been wearing them nonstop since they arrived. Despite some reviews saying they run a little large - i found them to be true to size. I'm a full 11, and they fit me perfectly!

I have been wearing the New Balance 990 line since 2015 with custom orthotics under doctor's orders. No more tendonitis pain in my feet. I am 68 and a retired teacher who spent many years on my feet. These shoes make a difference. The 990 v5 seems a little narrower in the toe, but still the best for my feet.

The 990 is the only she I wear - it was recommended by my orthopedic doctor since I have knee & hip problems - they wear well and give me exactly the support I need - bought navy & gray this time!!

I would say the length is true to size, the width is just right. I have a narrow feet but I opted
for the medium because I wasn’t sure how narrow their narrow is. I don’t want to end up getting tight sneakers when I can’t even get them exchanged since they’re always sold out. I have a SW lowland boots in narrow and those were too narrow for me so from then on I stopped choosing narrow width if given options. These are worth the hype I guess. I love anything retro!

I was torn between the 993's and these and decided to go with the 990v5's, although both were great. The shoe is very supportive and has a nice, classic look. Also worth noting that this style runs a little small, so I sized up by a half size.

Love the fit but I was disappointed that the grey shoes were unavailable. I don't like the black.
