Very good shoe. Took a week or so to break in but after that they are great. They are the last sneaker made in the USA. I am far from a runner but needed good support as my left foot tends to hurt from a broken leg years ago. This sneaker helps and very comfy. Don't think you have to be a runner to enjoy there 990's as they look like any other NB shoe I have owned. Your feet will thank you. I have read that this is one of the last USA made sneaker.
