The New Balance 990v5 earned the dad-shoe stereotype for good reason

The New Balance 990v5 is the shoe that invented the dad-shoe stereotype — and it earned it. These are legitimately one of the best all-day comfort sneakers you can buy, and I say that as someone who was skeptical of the hype. If you’re on your feet all weekend, they’re worth every penny. The 990v5 doesn’t try to be cool — it tries to be comfortable, and that authenticity is its secret weapon.
