I have worn the New Balance 990-991-992-993 series shoes for over a decade as my main daily shoe. I am not a runner, but I am quite overweight and prone to plantar fasciitis. This shoe happens to work for my particular feet. I wear them all day, every day, and right now I am also wearing them for a walking program, for exercise.

It has been a while since I wore the 990, and after wearing the 993 I wondered how the new 990 would feel. It's still great. It still fits my foot, just as it always did, in the same size, and gives me the support and cushion that I need. Maybe it gives me a little more side support than the 993 did, and it might have slightly less cushion, but basically it is almost the same shoe in my opinion and gives me what I need in a shoe. I wish these shoes were not so expensive, but in my opinion they are very high quality shoes so I guess you get what you paid for.
