New Balance 990 comfort and sizing guide!

in this video I will walk you through the comfort and sizing of all 990s.

[@devingildner8328]

First time I’ve seen you love on the v3!!!

[@samdopkosky]

The V3 was my favorite 990 for a long time until I got my hands on the V4. The V3 is such an amazing shoe!

[@natewill91]

I’ve been wearing my V4 for a few days now … 👟👟👟👟☁️☁️☁️☁️

[@unclelouie3828]

I can't tell if you're saying, V4 or V5. O "B" 4... IS IT ''B'' OR ''V'???????? make it clearer!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@samdopkosky]

It’s V as in version 4

ENCAP was on v1 … it was just called “motion control device”.

[@ianturnbow7011]

Excellent info! Have you branched out to the 991v1, 992, 993, and new 991v2 yet?

[@samdopkosky]

I have a pair of grey 993s that I love! I don’t have any of those other models…yet. I’m for sure getting the 991v2!!

[@perrymason6470]

I agree with all the sizing infos well done.

[@MastaChai]

My first pair of 990v4 is coming from New Balance. I went true to size. Hopefully it’s not too big. Do they fit like the 990v6?

[@viralchopra917]

Hey buddy. I have 990v3 Joe fresh goods in 7.5 and it fits me super good and comfortable. Now i want to buy 990v6 lapiz lazuli. Should I buy 7.5 or I go half size down ? Basically does 990v3 and v6 fit same ? Have normal to narrow feet.

[@samdopkosky]

If your 990v3s fit great then I would recommend getting the same size. I have 4 pairs of v6s and went true to size on 3 of them and half a size down on one pair. the ones I went true to size have a comfortable amount of room in the toe. But if you want a snug fit you can go a half a size down

[@yormeaceko7101]

Hey Sam. Would you say you are flat footed or high arch?

[@samdopkosky]

My feet don’t have significantly flat feet or high arches. They are normal but leaning on the flat foot side

[@wjlevien]

Imo the 990v6 is by far the most comfortable of the 990s

[@samdopkosky]

I agree!

[@ucanhnguyenvu1919]

Did you have 2002r? Is 990v3 more comfortable than 2002r to wear all day without fatigue and pain?

[@samdopkosky]

I don’t have a pair of 2002r yet. They are next on my list! I can speak on the 990v3 and confirm that they are a great all day, comfortable shoe. Never had any pain on fatigue in the V3

[@peppino3063]

How they fit respect nike air force?

[@samdopkosky]

Both the 990 and the Air Force have a little bit of toe room. I’d say they fit about the same

[@peppino3063]

@@samdopkosky Thank you

[@natewill91]

The V1 is a plush low to the ground ride in comparison to the others …

[@callmemrdee]

Agreed. V4 is the best out of all of them. I have 2 pairs v3, 2 pairs v4, 1 pair v5, 2 pairs v6. They are all amazing

[@samdopkosky]

I’m glad we agree on the v4! That’s a pretty solid collection, keep it up!

[@javigtiv]

Same size all of them??

[@callmemrdee]

@@javigtiv yes. But v 3,4,5 you could go TTS. V6 definitely half size down

[@javigtiv]

@@callmemrdee thx u so much

[@JoseFonseca-cl3fd]

I have a question if you have wide feet would I go half size up on 990V3

[@samdopkosky]

I would still go true to size even if you have wide feet. You might be able to find the 990v3 in a wider model on eBay

[@crog3260]

So for walking 5 miles a day it’s the V6?

[@samdopkosky]

Yes I would go with the v6!

[@pattonPwr]

After trying out every version I can finally say that the v5's are my fav. Went TTS in all of them

[@Darth-xc6tz]

Why do you think V5 is less comfortable than V4 or V3?

[@samdopkosky]

Only because the heel of the v5 is so stiff compared to the v4 and the v3. The v3 and v4 are so smooth from step to step. Overall all the shoes are great all day comfortable shoes!

[@YYYY97342]

If I was a size 10 do I chose a 10 for the v6?

[@samdopkosky]

For my v6s I go true to size. So I wear a size 10 in other shoes and get a size 10 in the v6. I have some toe room in the v6 so you could go down a half size and be fine if you wanted to.
