The V5 has a wider toe box area.
Go down half a size from your true size. (ie: I am a true size 9.5, so I buy my 990v5s in a size 9).
As of right now (Q1 2023), the 990v5 DOES come in wider and narrower sizes, when it comes to the classic grey, navy, black/silver, and triple black colorways. However, the 990v5 is no longer the current 990 version and will be out of regular production soon. Once out of regular production, if it does continue to be produced, it will most likely not be available in wider or narrower widths.

The 990v5 is one of best shoes you can bless your feet with. The shoe has the perfect combination of cushioning, stability, support, and cushioning. It can also be used as a performance running shoe.
The 990v5 utilizes New Balance's signature ENCAP technology. ENCAP utilizes a strong, polyurethane heel cradle with a soft EVA foam core to provide the wearer with the perfect combo of comfort and support. The V5 is not too firm, nor is it too squishy. In addition to ENCAP, the v5 also utilizes an OrthoLite foam insole for an extra layer of cushioning. The V5 is the king of comfort (or at least until the v6 launches!).
