The camo green is a great color and the fit is accurate.

Very comfortable shoe (990v5). I will purchase them again if they are still available. The made in the USA brand is a plus. If your boot style footwear were made in the USA In my size (11 Narrow) I would consider those as well

I buy a pair of these every year, because this is the best shoe for comfort I've found. Very durable, but hard to keep clean

I have purchased this product annually for at least five years. I am a regular walker and a big, although not seriously overweight, guy. I find these shoes very comfortable and durable. I will continue to buy

I have extremely flat feet and the 990's provide the support I need. These shoes got me through a 27 year military career and many physical fitness tests. Now they are used mostly for walking paths and trails with my wife.

I have had a pair of the old v4 model for 3 years and wore them out from a daily 1 mile walk or treadmill session. I don't run, just walk. I think the grays look sharp. I just got the v5 model since I stand at my computer desk and my old shoes just didn't cut it anymore. The new shoes really made a difference in my heel comfort. So far, I'm using the insoles that came with the shoe. The shoe fits me good. 11 D.

Very comfortable shoe. Also you can tell it is well made. I'll be buying another pair in a different color soon.

I have narrow feet. For a very long time, I've purchased a series of "Swoosh" branded shoes because I thought there were limited alternatives and I was unaware that New Balance made narrow-width shoes for people like me. I increasingly found that the quality of the Swoosh-branded shoes I bought were failing with increasingly troubling issues such as separated seams, eyelets fraying and eventually breaking and a fit that ranged from too tight to too loose. Within the past year, however, I've purchased two pairs of NB 990-series sneakers and I've been very impressed with the quality of construction and fit of my NB shoes. As a result, I've become a New Balance believer.

I have been wearing your 990 shoe for as many years as you have produced it, which is many years now. I essentially live my entire life in these shoes for the comfort they provide. I hope you never stop making widths in shoes like your competitors do not do.-- they think one width fits all and it doesn't. I also like the subdued colors of this shoe, because I totally dis-like gaudy colors in my shoes and I would not buy such shoes. So I hope you would always make this color of shoe. Continue making this shoe and you will keep me happy. Don't think you need to change this shoe to re-fresh it. It is perfect as it is.

I've had these shoes in the past and loved them and I'm glad I came back. This is my first pair since the 990 V3's and while those were great these are better.

Use for everyday use. Also, keep an extra pair inside my homes since we do not wear shoes in our house. I use orthotics in all my shoes and NewBalance accommodates them. I currently have five pairs and will order another pair today. Besides they are MADE IN USA

These are the only sneakers that fit to perfection and give me the foot comfort while I walk 2 miles a day. They also allow me to put my orthotics comfortably in the sneaker . New Balance makes a great product. i AM 6' TALL 260LBS and New Balance sneaker softens the impact of each step. Expensive but worth every dollar
