Customer Reviews New Balance Classics Made in USA 990v6

If these are "Classics" why keep changing them? Less and less leather....more and more cheap fabric! No longer a NB classic!!! I want my 993!

Very disappointing. I've had 4 pairs of V5, best fitting shoes I've ever worn. Ordered the V6 in exactly the same size. These are narrower, so too tight, and a bit longer, so they ended up with heel flop for me. Why would they change the sizing? Dumb decision. NB just lost a loyal customer. Here's an idea: BRING BACK THE V5!!

Obviously, the design for this shoe has changed in version 6. There is much less height in the heel area which results in heel slipping versus the same shoe, version 5. I cannot wear the shoe now--it just doesn't fit the same.

Great in the beginning but after a couple of months the support was shot not worth the price.

Horrible changes in the V6; loved the V5. Heel is too low and slips out, sizing has changed and now too long, the cushion is offset and instep half off the shoe, just a big miss all around. Wish I could get my money back but been wearing them for a month to try and get used to them and trust New Balance but it’s not working.

This version 6 felt cheaper made and more flexible than the V5. The sole in the forefoot was less comfortable and overall the shoe needed to be returned. This is diappointing because I have had many pairs of the previous versions and I recommend them to my patients. That will be put on pause till I see improvement.

The 990 (4 & 5) has been my go-to for as long as I can remember. I have tried other brands, other styles and wouldn't even wear them out of a store. Now I'm stuck without a shoe that I like. These 990v6 are simply terrible in terms of comfort. Feels like there's a lump under my foot, standing on an uneven surface.

Shoes were used & worn before.... they weren't brand new like u guys said.....

Worst version yet. Feel awful and want to throw in the trash. It is tighter and full of “support” in the bottom that feels like pieces of metal. Will NOT buy 990 ever again and I have bought since version 1.

This is my third pair! But my first blue ones.

New Balance seem to run 1/2 size small. I generally wear a 10 1/2 but get NB in 11

Fits well. This is the 3rd or 4th pair of the 990 series I've had

As always an excellent shoe for a beefier person.

had these before. great shoe. expensive, but worth every penny.

These are the ONLY 'sneakers' I will buy. They are American Made. I have been wearing them consistently for over 20 years. (I originally had the 587 model). The only problem I have is the 'planned obsolescence: the foam degrades and the glue allows the rubber to come off of the bottom of the shoes.

I’ve unfortunately have been blessed with very wide feet, so for these to fit no problem right out of the box is very refreshing. I have a job which requires me to be on my feet all day (~6-9 hours) and these hold up quite nicely. If you have really wide feet and need a good sneaker that has a low-profile design, give these a shot

Strange thing. I have a NB 990 v4 size 9, 2E, which fits me perfectly. I have purchased a NB 990 V6 in the same size, however they were too narrow and too long. I have exchanged them for size 9 1/2 4E and THEY fit me perfectly. Go figure. Otherwise-fantastic shoes, great comfort out of the box.

New Balance 990 V6 in size 10 2E is too narrow and too long for me. Ordered size 9 1/2 4E.

My go to running shoe. I run 3-5 miles several times a week and these are very comfortable. Will accept my orthotics. I'm on my second pair.

Very happy that the style did not change much.

Good product

Excellent sneakernn
