Pros

On the first wear they feel comfortable & springy in the heal. Just right firmness adds to confidence in my balance. They're by no means designer, but with a pair of well-chosen pants i also don't have to worry about looking ridiculous for the sak... Read More

Good purchase, good price. Tried other brands but always returned to nb. I hope the last because they ain't cheap!

The wide width option provides ample room for his feet, eliminating any pinching or discomfort often experienced with standard-width shoes. The 2e width is a bit snug for my foot. The side of the shoe is easy to scrape the break pedal of your car.

Upgrading from some well-worn nb 410-v5 to the made usa 990-v6. In comparing the 410 to 990, the heel to toe of the size11 is the same. The 990 v6 feels great for an everyday walking/jogging shoe.

Cons

There wasn't as much padding and support. I have a prominent bump on the back of my left heel (hagland's deformity) and the new shoes rub on it painfully. The heal slips and there's no way to stop it.

New balance model 990 v6 are overpriced and not the same quality as version 4 or 5. I have a wide foot and the 12d width is noticeably narrower.

The top leather supports are perfect to stabilize the foot in the sneaker.

Upgrading from some well-worn nb 410-v5 to the "made usa" 990-v6.

Every time new balance changes its model a bit, some people find problems and post them.

Competitiveness

I think you should ignore them; this is a great walking/jogging/running shoe, just like previous versions of the 990.
