Quality and workmanship are both very high on these 990s. They're comfortable, even comfortable enough to leave on once you get home from work. The padding is very balanced, unlike most running shoes that tend to pad in the front, middle or heel. I've never complained about the price of these either. As a former athlete, I have had numerous severe/serious/needed surgery injuries to my legs, especially knees and ankles, but these shoes just feel good on my legs. My oldest pair of 990v3's are a couple years old and are still worn when I mow our yard. The padding in those are breaking down a little, but I wore them nearly everyday for a year before buying my second pair. To add to the durability of these shoes, I'm well over 6' and weigh between 250-300 at any given time.
I couldn't be happier about spending another hundred and fifty dollars on the same pair of shoes I already have. They are well worth it. Last, I don't doubt those who are having the cat urine smell problem, but I can say I've not had it with any of my pairs of 990s. I can't recommend any shoe any higher than these.
These shoes fit as expected that is true to size. Although they have prevented foot pain after a long day at the "office" the first day wearing these I was looking forward to taking them off...That seems to be the case with shoes that offer ample support for a heavier man like myself. Did I mention I use one pair for jogging? Yeah light jogging...
I have read other reviews about issues with the tongue slipping to the sides. I have not had that problem however I do use the little vertical fabric "inlet" on the mid tongue to pass the laces through (Not sure what it is called)....I am not sure if that would help others but it seems to work for me.
Another thing that I have read is that these shoes eventually smell like cat urine. With so many reviews out there stating this to be true from confirmed purchases I can only guess that I have been lucky or receiving newer updated models with the issue now resolved. Come to think of it...there could be one other thing- I always change the insoles after about a month to the "Superfeet" brand. The combo of these shoes with those insoles was sold to me by my podiatrist. It has been a life saver.
I highly recommend these shoes to everyone...seriously not just here. And in this colorway...I highly recommend these for those pesky workplaces that require and all black shoe. I know that the price is steep but I am certain that if you value your feet as much as I do ( plantar fasciitis , bunch of spurs ) you realize pain relief is well worth the cost.
