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.

Material was comfortable but size seemed a little big.

Fit and size true to description offered on the website.

Great sneaker !

new balance size 14 2e always fits me like a glove

A little too loose. The 990-5, (several years ago) was better fit.

Have been buying these shoes for over 30 years and will not buy any other. I have tried others, even New Balance other styles, but these are the best ones.

The shoes feel and fit great !!. I have gone down a half size before but have found having the little bit of extra room in length makes the shoe fit just right.

My boyfriend loves them!

My husband has an extra wide foot. This is the only shoe that fits him. Comes in good colors. Comfortable for long walks. We consistently order this shoe.

These were a perfect fit for my dad. He is very happy with the fit and comfort level.

great shoe just to big need to go down a 1/2 size

Great pair of shoes and this is my 2nd pair. Love the support it gives my feet and last almost 1 year before wearing them out.

Shoes just as advertised. Perfect fit.

This is the first 990 I have ever had. Shoes are wonderful. I have worn New Balance 1540V3 for many years and these are very similar. Big difference (I believe) is that the 1540 has a roll bar in the sole.

I wear a size 15EE with orthotics. The NB 990v6 with the wide tor box is a great shoe for me. I have owned several NB 990v in the past and will continue to buy them in the future.

Great fit and looks good
