Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)
Runs SmallRuns Large
Buying shoes is one of the things I hate the most because they almost never fit me well due to special needs I have. These were recommended to me, and I am glad I got them. My problematic back and legs are grateful.

The size is a half size bigger so go a half size smaller. I am a size 10 4E instead I went with a size 9.5 4E. Other than that the shoe is very comfortable.

I used to wear New Balance but tried Sketchers for a few years, now I'm back to New Balance. I definitely like the look and comfort of this shoe, my only issue may be the width but time will tell. I retired in Arizona after 40+ years of wearing Red Wing work boots so I was happy to just wear sandals most of the time, unfortunately this caused my foot to spread out a bit so I went to the 2E width. The shoe may be true to size but it's hard to tell due to the "sandal foot". Otherwise this is a great shoe. (On a side note, I did notice that the extra set of gray laces didn't come in the pair I kept, not a deal breaker)

The NB 990 v6 runs slightly larger than the other brands I wear (La Sportiva and Asics). I recommend buying a half size smaller than you usually wear. Overall it's a great shoe. It's stable and cushioned with moderate arch support, and looks darn good, too. The shoe is super comfortable -- I'm probably going to buy another pair soon. I get the feeling I'll be reordering these shoes regularly. It's one of the best I've ever worn.
I'd also recommend:
La Sportiva and Asics

For more than a decade I used the 877 walking shoe by NB. I found the wide toe box to be an absolute necessity. They were durable (about 900 miles walked per year), well made and comfortable. So far the 990V6 is looking like it will do just as well.

My husband will only wear these tennis shoes. He has tried other brands but none feel as comfortable as these 990s V6 shoes.

Been wearing the 900 series for over 30 years. Must admit the product from the 90's seemed to last quite a bit longer. It is still the shoe I would buy.

I have purchased these shoes multiple times. I walk 2-3 miles a day and also wear them casually almost daily. These are my favorite shoes.

These are the best 990's yet. Everything about them are improved over the previous model.

These are the ONLY quality walking athletic shoes that come in 2A narrow size. I've been wearing them for several years. I walk in them every morning year around and have to replace them every three years when the tread starts to wear down. These are excellent shoes!
