I get a lot of compliments when I wear my 990v5's for casual wear. They look great with joggers. The suede material is top grade. The insoles are cozy soft. Overall a great shoe for any occasion. I love that it's made in the USA!!!!!

I could tell right away that this was a superior shoe in comparison to lesser brands. I bought this as a gym shoe and it has performed as expected . The looks and quality are worth paying for. The overall selection of 6e width shoes has put me in camp New Balance for sure. Some don't realize the importance a good shoe can have on knee and back health in addition to the foot.

Use these for my daily walk. It's a little over two miles up and down two hills. These are very comfortable and stay cooler than the foam new balance shoes I have. Regret buying those, mainly because they're made in (you know where). Quality is excellent, service is great, can't go wrong with these shoes. Also, normal width is E width for us back in the day people.

Used daily while at work on concrete floor to save knees, hips and feet. These are fascinatingly comfortable and the best part is they are made in the USA.

The fit is perfect. This was a double E width and the fit is most important to me.

I've had some iteration of this shoe for 20 years now. It's my go-to sneaker. The only part of this shoe that shows it's age after a year of constant wear is the tread on the bottom. Otherwise they are rock solid. Once you buy a pair you'll be hooked like me.

I have AA width feet, mens 12.5 sneakers that fit are hard to find. I have worn redwings and new balance for decades because they make shoes to fit me. this new pair is the first i have found in black.

I've used this shoe (or a prior version) ever since I got into running. Since it is the only one that comes in a 2A width I'll keep using it as well. It's almost worth the price.

Aside from the Tongue details the new 990's have a flag on it I've always liked the tongue details on the models before v4 but overall very happy

The shorter tongue is more comfortable for everyday use.

AS one with narrow feet, New Balance offers a much better fit with their sizing. This shoe fits great, good support and nice cushioning. Clearly in a class by itself.

I have bilateral plantar fasciitis. I've tried many different shoes and they're ok. I always come back to this particular designer because I have no pain! They last a long time too! I'm up and down on my feet 10 plus hours a day. No fatigue at the end of the day! I can highly recommend these shoes. NB 990 for life!!

I bought these to replace a worn-out pair of the same kind. They fit perfectly.

My husband started complaining about his feet hurting everyday. We were told that New Balance makes some good shoes after some research we ordered the 990v5. Wow he loves them so glad also made in the USA

I have been wearing the 990 series shoe for decades. It has good support, however could use a better cushioned insert. Recently purchased the 990v5 and it parallels the prior 990 series. Now if New Balance would only bring back the "military green" color or a similar tan/brown color.
