Quality product. A bit heavy but very supportive and a great all around walking shoe.

Each pair of this series is a different fit, I use to able to order a 7 4E, not I have to order an 8 4E and compare, each size and color is different, poor sizing quality control but great shoes.

This is my go to shoe for exercise, doing chores and casual day at work. This is my third pair of the 990v5. They last longer than any pair of shoes that I have ever owned.

I’ve always worn New Balance shoes. This one is very good. I always take 4E cuz I put my own custom orthotics inside. Very comfortable.. Correcting my over pronation.. now I have 2 pair. I don’t mind paying the price either.. my feet are more important than money..??

this "lace problem" has occurred before. Forces me to go out and buy laces of the proper length

I have chronic pain in my back, legs, and feet. New Balance is the only shoe I have found that minimizes my discomfort. I use them for almost everything I do.

I have been grand loyal to NB for years due to having some neuropathy and numbness. I've been wearing the 990v4 and always felt that they were a little snug in the mid section of my medium sized foot. The 990v5 has provided just the right around of width. In the past, I use to spend $50 for insoles for the 990v4 but with the 990v5 I can now spend $50 on something else. The molten/lava red are beautiful, they do make a statement.

Fit was true to others NB shoes I've had. Very light weight and stylish. The reinforced rubberized toe is great for scuff prevention and the rest of the materials feel of high quality. Great shoe.

I purchased two pair of the 990v4 previously and loved them. I decided to purchase the 990v5. The fit is the same. Having a removable insole is great. I need more cushioning and I have plantar fasciitis so I use an orthotics which is very comfortable in this sneaker.

Really nice silhouette, also incredibly comfortable shoe. Before I wore 990s I was a huge fan of Adidas' Ultra Boost and this shoe makes me want to get rid of all the pairs I have. Picture doesn't do the colorway justice. Just a super nice shoe, great comfort and great quality.

These are great, I got both 12.5 D and 12 E because I wasn't sure how they would fit, I wear a size 12 Boot.
Sent the 12E back because were too short, the 12.5 D fit perfect.
They are extremely well made and VERY comfortable, like walking on air.
Worth every penny.

Well made comfortable work shoes for me. I wear them everyday. It's been 2 years since my last pair purchased. Still using the old pair but just for yard work.

Improved cushioning. Improved stability due to slight extension of inside heel. Walk 3 miles daily. This shoe continues to be the best shoe for my purposes.

Had the 990 V4 for a few years, and a good shoe. New Balance improved on it with the V5. Same great fit, but a better shoe I think. I like the solid one piece base. No more multiple layers of different materials. I think this is a better design. Same great fit. I got the all black version, no more white sole, so it looks sharp. I use it for walking and every day shoe and very happy with the V5 version, definitely better than the V4.
