These sneakers have the coolest aesthetic and vibe. I style them with sweats for an athleisure look or a button down with layered necklaces when I'm feeling chic.

Bought this because I was sad and they said that this shoe has been worn by supermodels in london to dad's in Ohio and I just think that no other shoe has that RANGE! I am very happy now! P.s. I'm from the DMV and everyone has this shoe in their closet. I'm late to the game here, but nonetheless, I'm a playah now.

These fit my feet perfectly. According to a New Balance salesman (in store) this 990 style doesn't change and is the most popular shoe. I have many styles and this one really is the best.
I'd also recommend:
Brooks is a very good shoe and runs narrower, as the New Balance 2A is wider than the Brooks Medium.

I'm 87 yrs. old and the only shoes I wear these days. So happy to be able to order newer model of my old ones that I wore almost non-stop for at least 4 yrs. and the models are the same. Made in USA. Congrats.

The tendon on the top of my right foot was completely torn. Too much time had gone by and surgery was not a good option. So I'm wearing an ankle brace all day. These shoes work so well with the ankle brace, and they go right on over it. My podiatrist told me that these were the best shoes for my situation.

If you are looking for a pair of sneakers that go with everything you wear, this is the one. On top of being style, this pair is also super comfort to be on your feet all day.

These are my go to shoe. I have worn them for years especially after surgery on my foot. They are well worth the price.

This shoe is the best for me because there is enough room for my orthotics and the heel is high, and strong enough, to keep my feet from pronating when I walk.

My husband and I use these shoes exclusively for our every morning slow jog of 5 miles. Our first pair lasted approximately a year. So of course came right back to NB. I have worn New Balance periodically for years as they fit my narrow foot; but now I experience high arch pain which this footbed also addresses. We were pleased to see that the company added padding to the back of the shoe preventing the rub on the ankle as in the previous design. Perfect! Looking forward to another year of exercise without sore feet. Thank you.

I have a very long, thin foot and, due to corrective foot surgeries, have to wear orthodics. I am over 65, but am very active. This shoe provides so much comfort and support that it makes a difference in my life every day!

I'd been having back pain and spasms for some time and a friend suggested these shoes. I've worn them for a week and it has significantly improved my back issues so that I'm able to walk my dogs again.

I have been buying NBs for probably about 10 years now, I swear by these shoes and I always tell people they are the most comfortable shoes ever. I wear them to work, when I go for walks / runs, and at the gym. Just bought these ones and I'm obsessed with them. They are so comfortable and they look amazing!! Run true to size, I always buy a 5.5 in new balance and in most other brands.

I bought these shoes for my mom, who is on her feet all day. My mom reports that they offer great support, especially in her heel, and that they don't feel to heavy. My mom was diagnosed with plantar fasciitis and her orthopedic doctor recommended this shoe. Might buy a pair for myself.

The shoes fit perfectly. I got my regular shoe size rather than going up by a 1/2 size but got a wider width to accommodate my socks. Love that NB offers this range of width.

These shoes have changed my life and foot and leg health. I started walking as my form of exercise and basically got planter facilitis from another "fancier" boost pair of sneakers. A client recommended New balance as she was a waitress. I have since never looked back. I will say the 990v4 was a more flattering shape, I also had to do a runners knot on my v5 which I never had to do on my multiple pairs of the v4. But happy to have a new pair and keep walking. I also wear new balance inserts inside. Have never had a flare up or pain since switching to these shoes

I have been suffering with plantar fascitis and exhausted all my options to relieve my pain. I went to an orthopedic doctor and pain $75. for a wrap that did very little. I got a shot of cortisone to no avail. I use anti-inflammatory meds, that barely relieve the pain. Finally I invested in a good pair of NB support shoes. Amazingly, I was able to work WITH NO PAIN. I highly recommend these shoes for their therapeutic value as well as style and comfort.

My daughter has been wearing 990's for years. She loves them. She has scoliosis and the comfort of them are far better than any other. Her foot is narrow and NB is the only one that we can get in a narrow width.
