Shoes were just what I thought they would be from the photo, color perfect for wearing with jeans. Fit same as my other NB shoes.

Most comfortable and well fitting shoes I’ve worn! It was difficult getting the sizing right. They run a bit long and I would recommend going down half a size from your true to size. I initially ordered in the size I wear for my 2002r’s which is size 11 and they were way too big. I have to size up to accommodate my wide feet for most shoes in standard width. So I assumed I would need to for these also. Not the case. I had to go try some on at a local retailer and my perfect fit was 9.5 2e. They were a little snug for a few days before I broke them in and now they fit perfectly. But I wanted a more secure fit so works for me! If you want a more loose fit then go true to size or get wider shoes. I could have gone to 9.5 4e or 10 standard. But I felt 9.5 2e would be perfect for a secure fit that I can break in and glad I chose that. For any made in usa new balance in standard width I go true to size 10 for my wide feet. Very close fit to 9.5 2e after break-in period.
I started wearing the 900 or 990, I can't recall which, in 1975. I have worn the Grey since then. I love support of my new shoes and have received many compliments. I'm 69 now, so this might be my last pair. I will be buried wearing my New Balance 990s. Thank you, NB.z

The shoe is great—very comfortable and well made. It does fit a bit larger than expected, but overall I've been happy with it over the past two months. The only issue is the persistent squeak when I walk. It's constant and quite distracting throughout the day. I had hoped it would fade with wear, but unfortunately, it hasn’t.

Bought the 990s for my wife for walking and casual wear. She like the fits and support the shoes offer. I have a pair of 990s I bought 5 months ago. I was dealing with plantar fasciitis. I went to the New Balance Store in Austin Tx. the salesman talked me into trying the 990s on I immediately noticed the difference in support and construction of the shoe I was sold. Well worth the money IMO.
