Bought for my son. He says they are the best shoes he has ever worn. These New Balance are about the only shoes that come in a 6E. I had to go out of town to get his first pair which was recommended for him and for his back pain. They help tremendously. Some doctors prescribe this shoe for patients. The quick service was a plus and of course easy returns if necessary from Zappos!! Thanks! The price was comparatable.

These 990's are very comfortable and stylish! For me, these are most appropriate for dress down days at work and they look great with jeans. I have two different colors (grey and blue). You won't be disappointed and your feet will love you for them.

I have wide feet that require sturdy shoes. These sneakers offer great support and look like regular sneakers.

Had these for walks and hikes for some time and now ordered them in all black to sneak them into the office as dress shoes.

I wear these at work. I am a respiratory therapist at a large hospital and I spend all day on my feet. Since I switched to these shoes 4 years ago, I have not had any foot pain. They are extremely durable too.

The 990v5 continues the 990 line tradition. Looks good, feels great. It's hard to get it right; it's even harder to keep getting it right. Keep on trucking...

These are pretty comfortable shoes. I have had plenty of new balance shoes over the years and these are by far the best. I hope the company doesn't change anything in the later editions. It's the perfect running shoe. I may purchase a second pair.

The fit and feel is no joke, you can feel the American made difference. The only problem with these shoes is the way they last. I do like to shop for new ones once and a while and you know these shoes are going to just keep going and going.

I have been buying NB 900s from Zappos for several years through a multitude of versions. Prior to this purchase I was swayed by reviews of the new V5, and decided to try a similarly priced manufacturer’s product. This was not one of my best decisions. The foreign produced shoe was well made and looked great. However, after Zappos did all they could to supply the proper size, the shoes still hurt my heals. Although I am no longer a competitive runner, I currently walk paved roads in the Blue Ridge Mountains 4 to 5 times a week. The 900v5 shoes have performed exactly as previous versions. They did not cause me any of the problems listed by other reviewers and I am again a believer in the New Balance shoes that are made in America.
I'd also recommend:
I will stay with New Balance exclusively.

I'm trying to buy mostly things made in USA right now, and besides that these are tip-top quality running shoes. I injured myself running in a pair of Nike Odessey sneakers and thought that it was time for a change. These have an excellent level of support and all around fantastic build quality.

This is my fourth pair of 990s. I recommend getting the orthotics to minimize stress to your feet. With both, they are super comfortable walking shoes.

Love the New Balance 990 shoe. This new V5 has a wider toe box which improves the fit over my bunion. Great shoe I only wish they made the men’s 990V5 6E in all black.

I wear my 990's for walking, for working out, and for casual wear. After two hip replacements and one knee replacement, my running days are past. I have purchased three pairs of production shoes in the white, black, and yellow accent model, in the black, grey, and white model, and in the new burgundy and navy model in the past couple of months. All three models are uniquely attractive, well made, and very comfortable. I highly recommend the v5 990's for anyone looking for a quality shoe that comes in the sizes and widths to fit almost anyone's feet. These shoes provide excellent support and are very stable. That said, they are heavier than ideal for competitive distance running though they provide excellent durability for training. This iconic NB model is alive and well.
