25 May 2016
For years, New Balance has been the only brand of shoes that fit my 4E feet correctly. More specifically, the US made 990v3 fit me like a glove. I was excited to get my hands on the latest revision, and for the most part the V4 doesn't disappoint. As usual, the materials and workmanship are unparalleled. The suede is luscious and the soles are solid. The biggest change from the V3 is the length of the tongue and the lace locks -- I had to lace them a few different ways until I found them to be comfortable. My biggest and only complaint is that the 4E doesn't feel quite as wide as the V3's. This is an issue I encounter with non 990 models, I have to go a half to a full size bigger to compensate for this. I ordered my true size from newbalance.com, and they're a bit ...

I ordered my true size from newbalance.com, and they're a bit snug at the base of the toe box. I would recommend going at least a half size bigger if you're a 4E. Otherwise, the 990v4 is well crafted and, of course, supremely comfortable.

I use this product both for everyday wear and for running about 10 miles per week. The things I like best it is allows me to have an option to buy a product that is made in the U.S. I also like the comfort and cushioning it provides. The thing I like least about this product is that the top mesh tends to wear through within a short amount of time. In my opinion the front toe cap does not come back far enough on the top of the shoe. My last pair which was a different model (the fresh foam) wore through in about two months. I had a previous pair of 990's which did the same thing but not as quick. The 990's have durability but has a worn look too quickly. I would like to have the "toe" extend back another three-quarters of an inch to give the shoe the ability to look ...

13 October 2017
I have wide feet, so I don't have a lot of choices in shoes. New Balance has long been known to make at least some shoes in widths, and while other companies have caught up to a degree, NB is still regarded highly in this area. After trying several others that are lighter in weight (including some from NB) I bought a pair of 990v4. Since this shoe is said to run true to size, I ordered 11-4e. Unlike many others, the 990 has decent width at the midsole, but while the 11 was long enough, the 4e crowded the 5th toe on each foot.I tried 11-6e, and this is where I learned something interesting: size 11 in 4e & 6e width had the exact same sole. The 6e simply has more volume, so it was too loose for proper tying and *still* crowded my 5th toes.A sales supervisor at my ... MoreI have wide feet, so I don't have a lot of choices in shoes.

The 6e simply has more volume, so it was too loose for proper tying and *still* crowded my 5th toes.A sales supervisor at my local store suggested 11.5-4e instead, as it provides more width. But while it is longer and *might* have a wider sole (I didn't have the 11 to compare it with) it still crowds my 5th toes. I asked about stretching at a couple of shoe repair shops, and they advised that it wouldn't work because of the mesh attached to the suede where I need extra room.In an unrelated problem, the right shoe started squeaking after a week or so, and changing insoles didn't help, so the problem is in the sole. Shoes of this price and reputation should not squeak.The folks at my local store (Costa Mesa, CA) were so courteous and patient while I tried several shoes and bought/returned a few, that I don't feel comfortable returning this pair. I'm still on the lookout for a shoe that fits me well (I'm hopeful for the Brooks Adrenaline GTS 18) but until then the 990 will do, if only in the short term.

This is actually my second pair of 990s, the last one being v3 in size 11 4e. I stopped wearing those shoes because the top of the arch falls behind the top of my feet arches, and the shoes cramped the 5th toe on both feet.Since New Balance advises their shoes go wider with each half-size up, a salesman (at a different store) suggested trying 11.5. At first they seemed okay, if a little long, with a slightly better fit in the arch, but also cramp my 5th. I'm past the point of returning them (they need to be in new condition) so I looked into having them stretched at the problem area, but two different shoe repairmen advised that the mesh/material under the suede will keep the stretch from working.NOTE: I have since looked at the 990 in 6e width, but it doesn't ...

It seems that 6e isn't wider than 4e, it just has a little more volume, and not where I need it.As I noted in my title above, it may be that my feet are just odd, so your mileage may vary. But the 990 doesn't work for me.

My feet are super narrow and flat, so finding shoes is always a challenge. Rigjt out of the box you can tell these are quality! (Made in the USA!) Super comfortable and sturdy to walk in- I have a ton of support and the shoes wrap around my feet perfectly. They look nice and can be dressed up or down. I know some people call these "dad shoes" but I love the retro/90s look and hate the current ultra-boost/bootie construct trend. II bought them in black and will be getting another pair in grey!You won't regret these shoes- quality over quantity. Don't be cheap! Spend the extra money and get something nice for your feet/knees.

I've worn v3 and v4 for years, so last Nov (2018) when I replaced my v4's, I was expecting the same quality shoe. I was not ready for the deep drop in the quality these v4's! I walk half an hour daily (about 1.6 miles) on pavement, and after only one month the outer backs of the soles were completely worn off! All the black was gone and the under layer started to wear down also. I have v3's that I wore for over a year that are not as worn as these new shoes were.You've lost a long time customer due to the drop in overall quality in your supposedly quality shoe. I've been gluing a pair of Guardian rubber taps on once a month just to be able to use the shoes. Shame on you.
