These are very comfortable and supportive. I have very high arches and went to the new balance store many years ago to get fitted and of all the shoes these felt the best. I do also use inserts with these as the standard ones never give good support. I'm deducting 1 star because there are not as many color options as there used to be. Bring back more fun colors!

Size and fit remains the same even though I have not visited a store in a couple of years. Only wish I had been able to order the liner pads.

I originally ordered my usual size of 5.5. Just a little too big so I reordered a 5. Better fit. Very comfortable for walking. 4 stars because the tongue of the shoe is shorter than I'm used to making it a little hard to tie at the top. I noticed this trend in other NB sneakers. Odd. Also, the side of the shoe is a little high so it rubbed my ankles a little. Not a big deal as they seemed to soften after wearing for a bit. Overall, a good shoe with good firm cushion. Maybe order down a half size.

Only buy this model for my problem feet but only complaint is treads wear out pretty quick. Buying two pair a year due to tread going bald which hurts financially

They are nice but run big. They are used more for lifestyle.

MISSING ON THE TONGUE THE LITTLE LOOPS THAT HOLD THE LACES IN PLACE. THOSE LOOPS WHEN PRESENT PREVENT THE TONGUE FROM MOVING INTO THE SNEAKER WHEN PUTTING IT ON.
OVERALL THIS IS A VERY GOOD USA MADE SNEAKER. TRUE TO SIZE, LIGHT WEIGHT AND COMFORTABLE. PLEASE CONSIDER PUTTING THE LOOPS BACK ONTO THE TONGUE

Comfy and sturdy. True to size.
The shoes seem to be bigger than in the photos.

I wear these daily. I buy them because they are very comfortable and they fit my foot well. I needed to replace the 990v4 pair that was getting old.

I have HORRIBLE hammertoes! I had the shoes professionally stretched. it helped somewhat. Now I am trying to find a toe aid for one of my problem toes.

These are my new favorite NB shoe. I used to love the old 927 which was replaced with the inferior 928. These 990v5 are equal in the fit of the 997 and are better looking. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because the 990v5 does not have the Roll Bar feature....which I loved! New Balance, please consider incorporating the Roll Bar feature in this shoe....thank you!

This shoe NB 990 is very expensive. It is not like my old 990, which was recommended by my dr for the plantar fascitis. It feels like any other walking shoe, which would have cost me less. I'm not very pleased

Fits well, good support, feels a little heavier and looks a little more orthopedic than I anticipated

This is a great shoe but I always have to use inserts to get the arch support I need. They are expensive and at the price, I wouldn't expect to have to do this. But this is my 4th pair so I keep buying them. I like the navy color.

Website is very easy to navigate which was nice for a change. Took about a minute to find what I was after.
Size was a bit of a guess. The width listed on the shoe is not the width listed on the website. Seems a simple fix to add some clarity.
At the end of the day, the shoes fit perfect and was just what the wife wanted!

Excellent fit, but after just a few months of moderate wear a hole has developed in the shoe. Very surprised for such a high quality shoe. Now I'm struggling to decide weather to risk buying it again or cut my losses and opt for another shoe.

I always purchase the 990's. I wear a wide even though I have narrow feet. They leave room for my bad toes but not too wide in the heel. The v5 do not fit as well-a little longer, wider in just the heel area. They rub on my ankles and I have never experienced that before. The overall comfort is not up to par as well. New Balance - please make some better colors-I am a 6.5 wide and would love some options. Navy blue-you can do better. I liked the light pink and the moonlight (which are not available). The pink/purple are not available in my size but are more what I am looking for.

They are nice shoes. Love the fact that they are USA made. The length was OK, but the toe box was not high enough. My nail rubbed against the top of the shoe.

I use these shoes as an every day walking shoe. I suffered from foot and leg pain when I have worn less expensive shoes. They are very comfortable and have helped with my foot and leg pain. The only complaint I had with my last pair is that small homes developed in the mesh material within six months of wear. Customer service provided help with this. I will definitely purchase these again!

The tip Of the sole of one the sneakers started peeling off After a few months, as if the glue came out of the tip of the sole. Don't get me wrong these sneakers are very comfortable to walk in but for the price the sole should not start peeling of after a 2-3 months.

These are nice shoes. I have worn the 990 style for several years. This particular version seemed to run slightly larger than my old pair. If I had been shopping in a store, I probably would have tried another size or width, but this pair is wearable with thick socks.

The shoe has changed a bit in styling, and felt a tiny bit bigger. I actually sized down a half.

These are stable and maybe a tiny bit heavy but I think will hold up on courts better than the typical running shoe.
