FuelCell 990v6

Product Description

In the spring of 1978, New Balance gave their designers the go-ahead on an ambitious undertaking: develop the very best running shoe, regardless of the time it takes or the money it costs. The result was the 990, a shoe that’s been raising the bar on quality ever since. With the 990v6, the legend continues. A perfect blend of cushioning and style, this shoe looks as good on your morning run as it does on the runway. New Balance MADE contains a domestic value of 70% or more. MADE makes up a limited portion of New Balance’s US sales.

Women’s 7 2E

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Size: 7 X-WideColor: Grey/GreyVerified Purchase

These shoes are really comfortable if you are walking and on your feet throughout the day. I have wide feet for a woman and I went a half size down from my true size because this shoe runs a little long. Other than that, going a half size down fits perfectly. They are not as firm and heavy as a shoe like the Nike Air Max, but they still provide a fair amount of stability and support. I definitely recommend this shoe for active people and I personally plan on buying another pair when this one gets old.

I use these shoes for work; I work in an environment that requires me to stand and walk on a concrete floor; they are very comfortable & I do not have any issues with leg pain or feet hurting. I would highly recommend these shoes.

obsessed but a weird fit

Size: 7.5Color: Grey/GreyVerified Purchase

this may just be because of my preference but i think this style fits a little weird. i originally bought an 8, it was huge on me to the point my foot slipped out of the heel. repurchased in a 7.5, they fit tight. how? i do think they’re starting to loosen up as i wear them and they are still pretty comfortable regardless but i can’t get over the size difference in just a half size. overall great shoes and great quality, super comfortable to wear out to run errands

I can’t write a full review because they are so huge! I have always worn a wide 8 1/2 so I ordered that. There is a full inch of empty space between my heel and the back of the shoe. I have to return.

These shoes are hands down the cutest and comfiest pair of sneakers I own. I feel like I’m walking on clouds every single time. 10/10 recommend!!!

Awful shoe laces, terrible customer service

Reviewed in the United States on November 10, 2023

Size: 7 WideColor: Navy/NavyVerified Purchase

I love New Balance 990 shoes and have bought them for years. For some reason, this year's women's 990v6 has shoe laces that are too small to tie. I went to my local New Balance shoe store, they said that everyone was unhappy with this and that I should call NB customer service. After half an hour on hold, New Balance Customer Service told me that they do not solve shoelace problems, and that the problem is all mine. The shoes come with too-small laces in 2 different colors (how special is that!). It is costing me an additional $15 to order replacement shoelaces on Amazon, while taking my best guess at the right size to order. I asked NB Customer Service to at least document the fact that their product has a problem, and the agent seemed overwhelmed at the effort that this would require. With a $199 price tag, something here should really be handled a lot better. Any chance that someone up there will read this?

Footnote: I bought the extra shoe laces, and now I really hate these shoes. There is a huge amount of shoelace showing (is this supposed to be decorative?), and I prefer a shoe which is less shoelace, and more shoe material. New Balance seems to have considered this, by providing 2 pairs of shoe laces - one white and one navy. Theoretically, the navy laces would be less visible. Unfortunately, the shoe has a white piping around the lacing area, so the navy laces just look dumb. Use the white laces, which will never stay white, and they cover 1/3 of the shoe's front.
