Customer Reviews New Balance Classics 990v5

I normally wear a size 15 in dress shoes and sometimes a 16 in running shoes. I ordered these in a size 15 and they fit GREAT! I have narrow thin feet and these are probably the best fitting running shoes I can recall ever purchasing. Great support and and I’ve noticed considerably less foot pain after a run.

Bought these for my husband who is very particular about his shoes and he loves them. Says they are extremely comfortable and he wears them all the time in favor of both pairs of Under Armor he has. Also very happy they are still Made In America. Always went with New Balance but tried UA and will stay with New Balance

My husband says these shoes are very comfortable !

First shoes that have fit my husband's troubled, extra wide feet. He really likes them a lot. In fact, I am online ordering a second pair! He wears a 10 6wide. They do not seem that wide to me. So don't hesitate to get that size if you are truly a wide. the 10 fits like a ten. Beautifully made in America

Absolutely awesome fitting shoes. I buy these for my father who has a wide feet and he just loves them. Raves that he can walk farther and his feet don’t hurt. I have always loved New Balance and these shoes don’t disappoint!

A perfect fit. This is the only running shoe sold, so far as I can determine, for someone with a very narrow foot (AA!). Pricey for a running shoe, but for me,, cheap at any price. A surprising feature of the fit of this shoe is that it gently grasps and caresses the heel while one is running. The whole sole is padded for the feel of running on a carpet. Plenty of toe room. The shoe feels as one with the foot. A well designed lacing system to put equal pressure on the instep. I give the shoe only 4 stars for style because I would prefer a solid white option.

These were for hubby, he is wearing them now and says they are very comfortable. He likes the gray suede looking color. He wears a 9 ½ Wide and when he first put them on he thought they were not wide enough, but after adjusting the laces and walking around on our carpet, he says they now feel great! It’s his first try with New Balance,

Great shoe good fit, for those that say the tongue slides down should try putting the laces thru the cut out on the tongue where it says 990, that’s what it is for.......... then your laces won’t slide down. Figured that out 10 years ago?.

50 years ago I bought a pair of AA dress shoes. The store gave me a deal because I was their only customer who could wear them. They were the only shoes I ever had that truly fit until the magic of online shopping allowed me to find such shoes again. Even so, they are few and far between. In fact, these are the first running shoes I’ve seen. I usually settle for B’s. I walk 5-7 miles a day on NYC sidewalks, so I need a good shoe. These fit the bill for that so far. I’ve only worn them for about 3 weeks. I’ll see how long they last, but my previous, cheaper pairs of New Balance have done well. I usually can get my 10.5 foot into an 11 NB B-width. These required a full size bigger. My foot fits like a glove. At first, I thought they were too narrow and then I removed the extra pair of socks that I always wear in all my other shoes. Perfect! Gave style 4 stars only because I really wanted a pair of whites and I had a choice between black and black. I admit that I get tired of the NB logo, too. But I’m grateful to the company for filling a very small market niche. There are not a lot of men’s AA feet out there. P.S. It’s a little thing. I’ve been double-tying running shoes for years because the furshligginer laces keep untying. These are hard to UNTIE when I double-tie them, but when I single-tie them, they usually stay tied. May their tribe increase.

Well satisfied. Perfect fit.

Great shoes! The support in these shoes are amazing. They are comfortable and light. Wearing them all day and my feet feel great.

Just what I was looking for.

Love this shoe!
