My foot feels like it is encapsulated in the shoe. I feel like it supports all parts of my foot. It definitely has great heel and ankle support.
These sneakers have been a lifesaver for me after I broke the fifth metatarsal in my foot. After I was out of my walking boot, these were one of the few sneakers that I could wear. These sneakers absorb a lot of the pressure or impact walking on hard surfaces. You become very sensitive to that in the healing phases of a broken foot. Even with my fractured foot being swollen, I could still wear them in my regular shoe size without getting a wider size.
I actually like the look of the 990v4 a little better but the 990v4 are cut slightly more narrower than the 990v5. Therefore I couldn’t wear the 990v4 after fracturing my foot.
The only con can be the price. It’s a pricey sneaker but it is worth it.
I don’t know if I would run in them for sprinting or some serious competition because they are slightly heavier because of the materials that make them so durable. You will probably want a much more lighter sneaker with synthetic material. But for most people this sneaker is worth the price.
They fit nice with plenty of foot room.
I'm a 9.5/10 in converse, 10 in Adidas, 10 in Jordans and 10.5 in Nike. I ended up buying a 9.5 for the 990v5 New Balances and tbh I could have gone a 9 for a more snug fit. So my recommendation is to go .5 size down for a nice roomy normal fit and 1 whole size done for a snug little slip fit.
My only gripe, that needs to seriously be addressed by New Balance, is the fact they have stopped making them in all black. Again, in my line of work, It is required that we wear black shoes (it looks more professional with our uniforms), and any reflective silver or grey insignias look out of place. Recently, I had not choice but to purchase the black/silver combination of the 990 V5, as the all black version is not currently being sold. I really like the 990 series (on my 4th purchase), but If I cannot purchase the all black series on my next time around (approx next year), i will, sadly, have to look elsewhere, which probably means a shoes made in China.
Highly recommended!! New Balance, Please reintroduce the "All black" 990
