I wore 990s for years, but this version’s rock-hard sole trashed my foot and I ended up with inflammation that took months and a steroid injection to finally go away. I had to get rid of them and move on to another brand.

I wear a woman's B. They call the roomier footbed an Enhancement. I call it dangerous and uncomfortable as my food slides. Why mess with the sizes. If you need more room you get a wider shoe. I now have to wear heavy socks with these. I guess I have a pair winter sneakers.. time to find a new favorite.

I have bought dozens of NB 990s over the years. The 990v5 runs way too short in the toe box. NB just lost a "3 purchases a year" customer.

I have run for over 20 years in the various versions of this shoe. I bought 990v5 and after 3 weeks I pulled through the last eyelet on both sides. Now the laces get jammed in the eyelet so I have trouble taking off the shoe and I am Now pulling through the side wall so soon the shoes will be worthless. I checked an old pair of V4 and sure enough the eyelet piece in V5 is way cheaper. Fix this or you lose a 3 pair a year customer. I'm pretty angry and disappointed

These shoes are heavy. The sole is also very hard which causes my heel to hurt while running. Not happy with my choice to purchase.

Very disappointed that the New Balance sneakers did not fit as they used to. They were "short" in the fit. Probably could reorder in the next 1/2 size but have no plans on doing so. Sorry to see that this product is no longer made in the USA and that is why I'm rating the sneaker poorly.

This shoe does have a nice wide toe box, moderate cushioning and arch support. A good walking shoe for my old feet!

These shoes are truly Awesome & live up to the expectations of New Balance excellence with my personal arch supports as I normally wear a size 9.5 but was fitted for a 10 which I therefore purchased with the addition of arch supports. Great addition to my collection!!:)

This shoe was very comfortable and fit well. I have narrow, thin feet. These shoes were good with socks. I would buy this brand again.

I usually order 6.5 but ordered 6 thinking they would fit as that is the size I wear on regular shoes.

This is probably pair # 10 or 12 for me of the New Balance 990. I wear orthotics, so in a dressy shoe without orthotics, I wear an 8 but in these I wear an 8.5 with my orthotic insert. I can't say enough about how great thee are. I only wish the women's shoes had more variety with the colors. Grey, dark grey, and navy, over and over. C'mon New Balance, give us ladies some choices. Meanwhile, I will still wear these forever. Podiatrist recommended them to me the first time - that was about 7 years ago, and now these are my only athletic and walking shoes. Absolutely the best.
I'd also recommend:
only New Balance for running/walking shoes. Otherwise Reiker, Birkenstock, Noat, Ecco.

I love these sneakers. I just walked 6-10 miles a day for 30 days to Europe and they were comfortable, supportive and stylish. I wear a Women's Size 12 and they fit perfectly. Love that they are made in the USA.
