New Balance Men's 990 Heritage Running Shoe Review

Customer Ratings:

Though I am not a runner, I wanted to try a pair of these for casual walking and recreation because I have arthritis in my feet. I have worn NB shoes for years, usually the lower level models, and have been very pleased with the fit and ruggedness. These take it to the next level. I have wide feet and NB has a great range of widths compared to some other manufacturers. They are very light and well-cushioned. I really look forward to putting them on whenever I can. They are more expensive than what I normally get, but worth it. And they are made in the USA!

I've used NB since my first set of 1220s. I'm not even sure how many years back that's been. I've had all of the shoes in the 12xx series up until the latest 1260. I just started running more and figured I would go to the local NB store in town. Boy am I glad I did. The salesperson worked with me for about thirty minutes trying on different styles to find the right pair.

I am a heavy runner, 6'4" 250#, but the 990s give me the comfort and support I need. Much more comfortable than the 12xx that I thought I needed b/c of my weight. i guess now I'll see how long they can last!

Very comfortable end soft. I had 993 and there is big difference. 990 is really better.

I made a right choice.

Honest reviews on New Balance Men's 990 Heritage Running Shoe

Amazon Prime's service was great as usual but I'm sad to report the M990 "Heritage" is not the quality shoe New Balance used to make.

I've been buying the 990 series for 23 years, same size, same width. This "new improved" shoe is off poor quality, appears they've skimmped on materials, put some annoying plastics on the tongue, made everything thinner (cheaper) and some "efficiency expert" convinced them that if they shorten the shoe laces, every 20 pairs they sell they'll save one shoelace. The laces are too short to properly lace and tie. They are so thin I'm guessing I'll break them before I put my 6 months and miles on them. Running today in my old ones, side by side I can see the 990 is definitely junk.

I appreciate New Balance being made in America. I'd rather have the price go up than the product turn inferior. They might as well be made in China, they seem like a cheap cost concious shoe rather than quality running shoe. I buy new shoes every 4-6 months, will definitely NOT buy these again and may have to say goodbye to 23 great years of New Balance.
