For me the New Balance 990 is a totally true to size silhouette. I got my pair online so took a bit of a gamble but they're a solid fit. Since then I've worn them on a pretty much weekly basis!

They're super comfortable and that's half the reason I wear them so much. I love my other sneakers too but they just don't provide the same cushioning that these babies do.

You can literally throw them on with anything; jeans, sweatpants, shorts, you name it and it works. I've got the famous 990 'Castlerock Grey' and they're so easy to match into any outfit.

They're not the easiest to clean as the design is quite complex, so I try to keep them clean in the first place. If they do get dirty I'll spot clean them with an old toothbrush and warm, soapy water.

The New Balance 990 is a true to size sneaker for me. I've had issues in the past with other brands and had to give or take a little, but with NB my true size is perfect. I've been rocking my 990s for years with no issues.

They're the ideal sneaker if you know you're going to be on your feet all day. We've all made the mistake of heading out for a long one in uncomfortable creps and I can confirm that it's definitely not a vibe.

I'm very much a sneakers and baggy cargo trousers sort of guy, and my pair of black 990s work excellently with that combination. Saying that, though, they also work incredibly well with jeans and shorts.

I'm kind if lazy when it comes to cleaning my sneakers, so if they do get dirty enough to warrant a clean I'll get it done professionally. The job is always second to none and it saves a lot of time and effort.

As others have said, the New Balance 990 is a proper true to size sneaker! I wouldn't even risk going up or down half a size as I like the perfect fit for my trainers, they're more comfortable that way.

You literally couldn't create a more comfortable pair of daily wearers if you tried. They're my go-to for commuting and long days out, the support they provide is unmatched.

I'd probably go for the athleisure look with these and match them with a pair of joggers, they work really well in that sort of outfit and it's one that resonates with my personal style.

If they happen to get dirty I'll go at them with a sneaker cleaning product from the likes of Jason Markk or Crep protect, but like most sneakerheads I'll try to avoid this happening in the first place.

So there we have it, the New Balance 990 is a true to size sneaker that can be worn for just about any occasion. It's clear that the silhouette is a big hit with the staff here at TSS and it's not exactly hard to see why.
