I am a sneakerhead who has been moving away from the Nikes, Jordans, and Adidas and more towards New Balance. I now own several Made in USA New Balances and the quality of materials and craftsmanship is far superior to other brands like Adidas and Nike shoes of similar and even higher price points. I don't mind paying a little bit of a price premium to support New Balance's domestic production.

I came soo close to buying a pair of these yesterday but I went with the 624s because I just figured two pairs of those for the price of one pair of these was more value for me and I already knew I liked 624s whereas I haven't worn these particular NBs before. They always have buy-one-get-one-half off at the shoe store I go to so that had me even closer to getting these to get another pair for cheap but in the end I don't think they're worth over twice as much as the 624s when they're not twice as good and they weren't any more comfortable and won't last any longer because I'm going to get rig of them or relegate them to beater shoes when they look old which is the same amount of time as any other pair. And that was my whole thought process in the shoe store yesterday.

Hopefully there will be more choices one day as more people look to support "made in the USA" products. They cost more but you need to think about the fact that American workers need to make a wage that makes it worth going to work. At least you're not giving your money to businesses in other countries that don't pay the workers a fair wage which could lead them to jump off buildings.

Could you do a video on Taft shoes!? I’m getting a pair soon, I hear great things but I’d love your input/opinions. (Love all your videos by the way! Great work!)

I love my 990 v5s. Ive had them forever and comfy as all get out in a 13 4e.

Great stuff! Will you be doing any of the new 57/40s that were first released last year? My fave New Balance design.

Love your work. Please consider using a piece of cardboard or cereal box as a sled to slide the footwear through the bandsaw.

NB also has extensive research on orthopedics as well. The 990's don't fall into the ortho lines, but my feet feel really well supported. I feel a lot of heel support from the encap. The toe box is decently wide, even for the regular width, which I really like. Overall, it's super comfortable to walk in.

I don’t buy any trendy sneakers or work boots but I love watching you break them down. Entertaining and I actually learn something! I’d like to see a pair of Golden Goose and your thoughts on those. ❤️

Just gonna throw my two cents in there as someone who has narrow feet: NB is awesome. Very few companies make narrow width anymore, especially sneaker companies. I’ve had NB shoes for close to 20 years. They always wear like iron and each pair lasts a good 5+ years before they need to be replaced.

As someone who uses these for work and im standing for 8+ hours they are Definitely comfortable might buy more pairs especially since theyre doing a countdown to the v6 that are dropping next year

The 990s had traditionally been made with a pu midsole (heel portion) but the newest iteration is all EVA foam. Not as durable but lighter weight.

Rockin' 481v3 right now. I've always had wide feet. Shoes always hurt. Discovered NB and their 4E wide shoes, and never looked back. Customer for life.

Have been purchasing New Balance since the late 80s because of the comfort, arch support and Made in the USA. I also like the varying widths because I have a narrow foot, Wearing a medium width requires thicker socks but my feet still slide around inside. New Balance are very durable for me but I no longer play active sports. They last 3 years or longer with everyday wearing. Highly-rated in my book.

Love the comments on this video. I'm a huge new balance fan. Sold all my addidas, asics, converse, nikes, just prefer new balance for comfort and style. Don't care if it's considered a "dad shoe" I'm 31 and a dad lol 574s are my go tos but 990v3s and 5s are fantastic. Love this video

These are superb running/training shoes. Comfortable, supportive, and durable for long runs. I think the video could have emphasized those attributes.

I've owned so many pairs of 99x's I've lost count. They are without a doubt the best shoes I've ever owned. I think I had maybe 3 pairs 990s, 2 991s, 3 or 4 993's and then the OG 2001s. All of them held up for years and years. I'm on a 574 kick right now but all roads lead back to the 99x's eventually.
