This shoe is higher around the ankle than the previous model. and caused a sore. This is the first pair of New Balance 990 that I could not just put on and wear. I hope they go back to the original model.

I loved the old models - wore them for years. They added a piece of plastic that makes it more stylish but digs into my foot. I will not be purchasing until that plastic is removed.

The tongue of both shoes was improperly sewn so that the cushioning stuck out. This is the second order that had a quality control error. I have not experienced this in the many years I have shopped with Zappos. Disappointing.

The right shoe was 1/2 size smaller than the left. I'm trying to buy expensive running shoes from you. Where is your quality control?

This is the second pair of the exact same size running shoes I ordered. The right shoe of the first pair was smaller than the left. This time both shoes are a full size too small. Where are these shoes manufactured? What is your quality control? These are not inexpensive shoes. I'm ready to give up on New Balance. The sizing is inconsistent.

THIS SHOE RUNS HUGE. I normally where an 8.5 which i ordered and the shoe ended up fitting so big I thought they sent me Men's instead of Women's by mistake. I then ordered an 8 and it was still incredibly big. I will just end up returning the shoes all together since it seems to be a great option for people who need more room, not the best shoe for just a regular foot :)

This shoe was very stiff and just not comfortable. Not much padding and not very smooth on the inside. I recently have tried on about a dozen similar shoes for an upcoming trip and this was one of the worst. Also, the price of these seems very out of line with other shoes made by this brand ( and out of line with similar brands).
I'd also recommend:
other styles from New Balance, Merrel , Easy Spirit
