I don't understand why everyone says, that the size is good and fit's true to size.. In my opinion size runs small.. My usual size is 40 (sometimes - size 39 at Zara and Mango shoes..), so I ordered size 40, width - standart, and it's really too small for my feet.. also, too tight. So I returned my order and now ordered size 41 and width - wide Hope it will be great! It's really the first time for me, to buy 41 size shoes.. very strange.

These would be 5 Star shoes except they run too narrow and the toe box is too tight. It put pressure on my big toe and caused redness, swelling and an ingrown toenail. Shoes need to be wider and deeper in the toebox area.

Strange sizing. The shoe is sized differently depending on the color. Very odd and pretty frustrating if you want to buy them in different colors. They ALL run small and narrow, but the Black and Gray colors run a FULL size too small and too narrow. I wear a 6B normally. In the 990v5 Navy color, I had to go up 1/2 size to a 6.5 B. I then ordered the Black and had to get a 6.5 Wide, and even the Wide was still tight with a regular pair of socks on. In fact the Black 6.5 Wide was tight with no socks on! The Gray is sized the same as the Black, too small, too narrow. I have a normal size foot! I've never needed a Wide sneaker and never had to go up in size.

Short length with a tight, too narrow toe box. My normal width is Medium. My toes were so cramped.

These are heavy and "old lady" looking. Comfort was good, but the styling didn't work for me.

I initially loved how these shoes looked found them extremely comfortable but after 2-3 wears I noticed the side of my shoe ripping/peeling. Disappointed of this quality.

I've been purchasing this style of new balance for a very long time. This pair is falling apart within the first month of wearing.

Ordered the 8W like I have in the past for the 990v4 which fit perfectly. The 8W's were too small, width was OK but toes bumped the inside front of the shoe. Then ordered 8½W, WAY too big. Sending these back too. I'm about ready to give up on New Balance, these were very expensive shoes that used to be top of the line, not any more. Very disappointed.

I have worn the v4s for years and years. I have wide feet and the 990 v4s were perfect. I had to return the v5s due to the change in design: the sides of the shoes now come up too high and are firmer, hurting my ankle bones.

These have better support and are much better looking than the new 990v6. That shoe is not only ugly, but it does not have the depth or the solid support of the 990v5. They softened the sole of the v6, making it less supportive and causing it to flatten out more quickly. I was afraid New Balance would discontinue the v5 once the v6 was launched. Thankfully they have not. And I think they would be smart keep making the v5. A lot of v4 and v5 customers have been very disappointed with the v6. I don't think v6 sales will ever compete with v4 and v5 sales, and for good reason. With the 990v6 New Balance has really compromised on the quality, support, and good looking style that customers have been used to.

My doctor recommended New Balance running shoes to solve my feet problems. 900 series. I did and my feet have greatly improved.

I wear the 990 in navy in the winter and grey in the summer I love the fit ( I have a narrow foot) and the walking comfort they provide. I have worn this style for many years. Recommended by my podiatrist.
