6 Months In My New Balance 990 V6s: A Dad Sneaker Experience

The New Balance 990 V6s are a less chunky dad sneaker style due to their sleek design as running shoes vs. walking shoes, which dad sneakers usually are.

They have a suede and mesh upper and FuelCell foam midsole that claims to give a forward-propelling bounce and a comfortable, durable fit.

They've been my go-to walking sneakers for school drop-offs and comfortable weekend wear with jeans.

Since day 1 of wear, they have been very comfortable. Like wearing comfy slippers, really. For optimal comfort during extended wear, I recommend sizing up by a half size, or even a full size if you have wider feet.
