Well just arrive in the mail. I was wearing 840 v4 since April is Sept and in a lot of pain over all joints. Planter fasciitis is diagnosis I had it under control until husband asked me to help throw wood last fall they had delivered in large chunks way to heavy. I was wearing size 10 decided I would try wide due to reviews and my dr prescribed orthotics I have replaced/obtained new trying to resolve the pain. I removed the shoe insert provided added mine size 10 full insert to size 10 wide. Amazing toes are not touching shoes they were in the size 10. These fell great so far. I will try to update as most new shoes feel good.My inserts feel that the are fitting my foot better ie in correct place. I will buy another pair if these get me to pain free.due to Covid wear shoes in house then have shoes for wearing out.
I'd also recommend:
Ecco boots are great for dress and fit full orthotics fashionable not ortho look for women.

I had purchased at least four pairs of the black 990s for women. I decided I needed some thing that looked a little more summary, and got the gray/white pair. Love them! They actually feel so comfortable immediately when I put them on.

I've been wearing these shoes now for 2 years and I have to say that these are the absolute BEST!! SO COMFORTABLE!!!! As a 10 yr old girl, I severed my right Achilles tendon and in 2013 I had a bunionectomy and osteotomy on my left foot so my feet used to kill me after being on them all day BUT not with the New Balance 990s. Thank You!!!!

I have Morton's Neuromas and need a stable shoe with a solid footbed for orthotics. These New Balance are the perfect shoes-I wear them all day every day. They have a removable insole under which my orthotics fit nicely. They are durable, comfortable and very stable. I probably wouldn't love my life so well without them. They allow me to walk without pain. I can't say enough good about them.

The chunky design and the details are lovely.
Purchase half size bigger for winter, still felt roomy after trying on with thick socks.
Think they're quite good for long walk in any season!

Best sneakers I ever owned. If I bought these two years ago I wouldn't be sporting a "tailors bunion".

I've been wearing the 990v5 for over 12 years and recently tried other brands for a change of style. I had to return the others because I need to wear custom orthotics due to severe dropped arches, pronation and major surgery . These shoes are the only ones that allow the orthotics to fit and still provide a secure heel fit, and provide overall stability. Also, thank you New Balance for making women's shoes over a size 10!!!!! You are life savers!

Daily, dog walking, errands, etc.
These give me great support as I have a tendon issue in one foot/ankle, and my doctors seem to like this particular style.
Expensive, but I continue to buy them when the color I like is in stock! And, they are not too narrow--the width is very good and sensible.

This is my fourth pair of walking shoe. I need a wide toe box and not many brands have that option. I now have four pair.

Love these shoes! Walked 3 miles right out of the box. Nice round toe with roomy toe box, very comfortable since I recently had bunion surgery. Good arch support. Not a heavy shoe. Made in the USA and it shows.

I know one thing. These sneakers Feel great on me. My entire life shoe shopping has been a tragedy. I'm a small woman with a very big foot. And now that I am an older woman I need support underneath because there's no fat under my sole. These shoes fit the bill 100% every time.

The shoes are more beautiful in person than the photos show. I like the color selection they offered on these shoes, as I don't want purple, pink or teal. I purchased the navy. They're expensive so I'm hoping they last!

I’m a nurse and have worn this style of shoe for years. They are the most comfortable shoe I’ve ever worn! I wish New Balance made this style in all leather as the material over my bunions wears through quite quickly, usually in 3-4 months of wear.

I had a lisfranc fracture on my left foot. With the deep orthotics I have to where for the rest of my life this shoe fits perfectly. My podiatrist recommended this shoe after surgery. The shoe is very expensive and I have never found it on sale. That would be my only complaint.

This is the shoe for anyone who wants solid support, bu it has really helped me with a torn plantar fascia. I have worn these shoes for 20 plus years. Love the quality!

Good shoes. Comfortable & supportive and I can walk far & well in them. - and on concrete, too. My only complaint is: shouldn't they have more tread so they'd last longer? But, I suppose "planned obsolescence" is the name of the game nowadays. At least they're still - mostly - made in the USA.

These are the most comfortable sneakers I have ever worn. I have issues with my right foot and many shoes that I like are not for me. New Balance always come through for me and my child. I want nothing but the best for her feet too.

These fit very well with my orthotics. I have had them before, but the smaller size and extra width are great. They are heavy, but they are a very supportive walking shoe. My previous pair lasted years, so I think they are well worth the price.
