Outstanding! I absolutely love these shoes! They're very comfortable and good quality. I'm a college student, so I have to walk everywhere on campus. I have a bad left ankle, so I can't really walk a whole lot, but since I have had these shoes, I haven't had any problems.

Great Shoe, Too Bad About Zappos. This is the perfect shoe! The shock absorbtion is without equal. I cannot say enough about these marvelous shoes. It is indeed a shame that Zappos.com doesn't carry them in a size larger than 12, though.

JMerry from WA Great shoe. I'm a firm New Balance customer because they offer wide widths (4E) for my big feet.

Great fitting shoes and an excellent value! The "New Balance" - brand shoes last much longer than the rest - great quality!

This shoe runs narrow. My husband wears an 11-EEEE shoe. I have ordered and now returned these shoes. They seem to run a little narrow, as compared to other New Balance shoes. However We LOVE New Balance shoes. As a matter of fact, I don't think my husband has owned athletic shoes other than New Balance for ten years! This is the only brand of shoe that he can buy and know that they will be true to size and fit (with the exception of this shoe.)

Short and Wide-Feet that is! Long wearing and comfortable. Best shoe for the money that I have ever owned.

This shoe is the most comfortable shoe that I have ever woren. I use to wear Nike Air and found the 608 shoe when I was going on a trip to Wyoming. I didn't even have to break these in. Why are they so hard to find now?

Most comfortable shoe I've ever worn - I'll never buy any other athletic shoe because these are so comfortable. I have large flat feet and these give support everywhere I need it. I have probably owned at least 20 pairs in the last several years.

I just bought what is likely my TWENTIETH pair of BLACK 608's. That alone should tell you exactly how I feel about this shoe. I was lucky enough to find a pair at Meijer in my size and width. It's an absolute shame but it seems as though they're getting more difficult to find. Let's hope this is only a glitch in the distribution system and they're not being phased out all together.

Awsome Shoe - I have been wearing the New Balance MX 608, for a number of years, somewhere around 8 or 9. Prior to wearing New Balance, my brand name shoe of choice was Reebok, and Nike. However, when I was hired as a Valet at the MGM Grand, and still wearing Reebok, they did not last or feel good while wearing them. I noticed that a few of the guys were wearing New Balance 608 in black, since it was the only color we were able to wear. Needless to say, I went out and bought pair and was sold on New Balnace from that day forward. Soon after purchasing a pair for work, I went out and purchased a pair for every day, and a pair for when I went out. My work shoes have always been black, and my everyday and going out shoes have been white. Not only do they feel great and look great, they are also so light and durable. Once again, this is an awsome shoe!!! Thank You

All I can say is Zappos rocks! They make it so easy to order shoes from them! First of all they upgraded my shipping, just because! Then I got them so fast! And I love the free shipping both ways! Zappos sure makes online shopping fun! Oh, and the Bibi Kids shoes are so cute! A perfect baby pink color and sparkly, too! My 10 year old daughter says they are very comfortable, too!
