I'm sure why my shoe is peeling. I barely wear it and also I have a desk job. I haven't had it for an entire month yet

The shoes are comfortable and lightweight. However, for the price I'm paying for a new pair, I received used shoes. It had creases and debris in the sole like small rocks and grass. I'm on the fence of returning it because, although I'm grossed out, I don't want to wait any longer because I plan to use these as work shoes and my current ones aren't as comfortable. Overall, good shoes but beware.. someone may have already stepped in them.

I had always bought your W1540sp3 and loved them. I wish you still had them, but they were discontinued. I will have to try another brand. These shoes are not the same, although they appear similar.

I wear 10.5 narrow shoes. I don't have a lot to choices. The New Balance 990v5 is just right for me and provides the stability missing in less expensive shoes.

Got this for my mom but she didn't have major differences between these ones and the less expensive ones with the firmer base.

Are shoelaces optional. My shoes were delivered today, no shoe laces in the shoes, in the box, none at all. It’s hard to determine if they fit and how well without laces…

These run bigger and I have a lot of issues with sizing never being accurate with New Balance. Needed them for a trip, so now stuck with 1/2 size too big- wish the sizing was communicated clearer - as I did not have time for an exchange, and these were really expensive.

I'm really upset with the fact of me ordering the wrong size it's the fact that I can't do an exchange.

I have worn 990s for years (versions 3-5). Currently, I have 2 pairs of the 990V5s that I have run through. I always get size 7.5 standard. However, something changed in the last year with new balance and the same shoes I have always ordered are now about 1.5in longer. New Balance says they didn't change their sizes for the 990V5 when I called. They thought maybe it was just a fluke. I have now ordered 3 more pairs and the sizes are all off. I can see a drastic difference when I compare the same size to my old 990V5s. I have returned them and fingers crossed I can get a size 7 to work. This was the best shoe for me and I am so bummed by the mislabeled shoe sizes or straight-up size change.

Bought this as a gift and arrived in a non new balance box saying the original box had been damaged and they had clearly been worn and had dog hair in them. For $200 shoes that were suppose to be a gift I’m so disappointed.

Second pair returned this year due to shoe size not fitting properly. While I am disappointed I appreciate how accommodating you are with your service.

They were clunky and reflective strips did and material were not attractive-almost felt and looked like men's shoes. Not for me so returning.

Not even close to a true fit. I wear 10.5 2E and, like Cinderella's step sisters, I won't be going to the ball this year.

Low quality. I had previously purchased 2 pair of the 990s and was very satisfied with them. This pair was not of the same quality. Cheaply made, felt a half size smaller, no support in the heel or arch. What happened New Balance?

Sizing felt like a size 8 and not a 7. I’ll be sizing an entire size down. One of the sneakers looked “cheap” looked like it had been wet and still still in drying phase. The other shoe was fine.

These shoes are VERY comfortable. Unfortunate they are also VERY poorly designed. The mesh fabric right where your toes hit is not strong enough. My toes have broken through several pairs. (I’ve given this style 2nd and 3rd chances because they are comfortable.) My most recent purchase was the middle of March this year, it’s now the middle of May, and I have holes in my shoes.
