Review on Step Up Your Style with the New Balance 990V5 Sneaker Castlerock Men's Shoes by Jennings Ford

I bought 990V5 (V5) instead of 990V4 (V4). I really liked the V4 but I love the V5! The V5 is my new favorite training shoe and I currently use several different brands. I use my V5s for outdoor activities, walking and running on the treadmill and elliptical trainer. I don't use the V5 for running on paved roads or sidewalks. If I walk indoors or outdoors it's usually 4 to 5 miles. I spend 45 minutes to an hour on an elliptical trainer. I'm not very good with the technical aspects of shoes, but I know what I like. Also, I haven't worn them to work or any activity that requires standing for a long time, so I can't comment on how they feel when standing for long periods of time. V5 is very comfortable for me; They're tight, but not too tight to be tight. Good space in the toe and heel but they don't slip on my feet. The sole is also very comfortable - great thick cushion that feels durable and absorbs the impact of my feet well. The top is strong and durable. with good flexibility at the same time. Whether outdoors or on the treadmill, the V5 is comfortable and confident. The V5 feels a bit heavier than other brands of running shoes. But the V5s seem to be more durable and stable, so I don't mind if they weigh more. For use on an elliptical, the V5s feel pretty good for about 30 minutes and then I get numbness in one leg. That goes for every shoe I wear on an elliptical trainer. Other elliptical trainer users I know have the same problem. So I don't blame shoes for numbing my foot. I bought the black V5s and they look pretty classy. I am very happy with my purchase of the 990V5!
