New Balance 990 FAQs

Do New Balance 990s fit true to size?

Yes, the 990 fits true to size for most people. It is known for a comfortable, accommodating fit, and some versions are made in wider widths, so it is a popular pick for people with wide feet.

What is the difference between the 990v3, v4, v5 and v6?

Each version updates the design and cushioning. The v3 and v4 have the classic chunky dad-shoe look, the v5 is a little sleeker, and the v6 uses New Balance FuelCell foam for a bouncier ride. All share the signature grey suede and mesh styling.

Are 990s made in the USA?

Yes, the 990 is part of New Balance's Made in USA line, which has been led by Aimé Leon Dore founder Teddy Santis as creative director since 2021. That heritage is a big part of why the 990 is so respected.

Why is the 990 called the dad shoe?

The 990 has been around since 1982 and became a favourite for its comfort and quality, especially with older wearers. Its grey, practical look later became a fashion staple, which is how the dad shoe trend took off.
