No break-in required! I bought these for my husband for his birthday. He put them on and said they felt comfortable right away! He has a narrow foot so it's great to be able to find great looking and fitting shoes! He usually takes an 11 or even a 10 1/3, but in New Balance the 12 narrow fits perfectly.

608 not for me - I tried this New Balance and found that it was somewhat uncomfortable... I then went to a local mall and tried all kinds of new balance shoes, first 9.5, then 10... 'cause i usually wear either of these sizes depending on shoe and manufacturer, I even tried wide widths... bottom line is that i can't wear new balance, period... the good news is that ASICS shoes are made to order for my particular foot... go figure!

Been wearing this shoe for years and finally wore it out. I was happy to find the same shoe to replace it.

New Balance has changed - I have been buying New Balance sneakers for over 20 years. They always had a good fit. I ordered 11 double E, and my foot would not fit. Same size for all these years. Had to go to 11 4E, to get a fit...

The best shoe for retail wear. This is the only shoe that works for me. I work on a cement floor and do a lot of walking every day. With this shoe my feet feel terrific after a long day. The wide width is a plus for my foot also. With this shoe every shoe is true to width and the comfort is top rate.

Good for a long, thin foot - I have a size 15B foot and can comfortably wear this shoe with a "Spenco" supportive insole. Quite stable and comfortable for tennis.

New Balance - My son loves these sneakers. He has a very wide foot and it is extremely comfortable, width is true to size and look is "cool". He always has me running to find the MX608. You can't go wrong with this sneaker.

2nd pair of MX608 - Zappos has given me great service on every order I have ever placed with them.The 608s are good shoes for the money. The uppers don't seem to be as heavily constructed as other NB shoes I have purchased in the past. Maybe a sign of the times.

Great shoes! When I got these, like other shoes, I took out the thin liner and put in some Super Feet to help my walking comfort. Immediately it was too much and I find that these have a better sculpted foot bed than most shoes and therefore don't require the orthotics I normally use. I wear size 15's. Comfortable, sharp looking, fits great. With mostly leather upper they make my feet a bit hot on warm days (my feet run hot as it is). Great shoes!

Good Shoe - I love the New Balance shoes since I have wide feet. This is a decent shoe, perhaps I have fonder memories of the old NB shoes in terms of width and arch support, or this one just needs to break in. It feels slightly tight in the width and a little low on the arch support.

Disappointing - This is the third pair of black MX608s I've owned, but I'm going to have to send this one back for being too small. It's not just uncomfortable - it's unwearable. The sole is visibly shorter than the "identical" shoe it was supposed to replace.

New Balance MX608 - I usually wear New Balance shoes so I know the size and style that I like...the shoes were delivered to me the next day (super job) and are working out fine.

My husband suffers from back problems, leg pains, and corns between his toes. He also broke his heel on a fall from a ladder. He works on his feet all day on a concrete floor and these are the only shoes I have found for him that he is comfortable in. I just ordered a second pair for future use. Thanks Zappos for the great service you offer!

Good shoes - My son-in-law has wide, small feet and we have a hard time finding shoes that fit him. Zappos had the 6.5 wide that he needed. As usual it has taken awhile to break them in, but otherwise they are great shoes!

Very supportive shoe - I love this shoe!!! I have bought numerous New Balance shoes from Zappos. This was a new style for me, I am overweight and flat footed. These shoes give me the support I need!!! My only complaint is they tend to run a little small in length, so order a 1/2 size bigger.

I tried, didn't work out - I tried this shoe in several sizes and widths and it just didn't fit properly. I rarely have issues finding comfortable shoes, but this one didn't make it for me. I tired a Medium (D) width first in 8 and 8.5, too narrow. I then tried Wide (EE) in an 8 and still no good. I sent them back.

Walking shoe review - For the first time in a long time I feel comfortable in the shoes I use for walking.

Too narrow - I had to return the shoe as it was too narrow. I've never had to buy wide shoes. I just ordered a pair in wide (EE) to see if they will work. I few reviews mentioned these felt narrow. I've seen reviews for other shoes that said the same, although they were fine for me. The shoe appears to be long enough, just not wide enough across the toes/ball of the foot. I wear a lot of Ecco shoes and Salomon in regular width, no problem. We'll see.

110% Satisfied - I have to special order shoes for my disabled son. This shoe is a sharp looking shoe. It is durable, comfortable and light weight. I only by New Balance and the website I usually shop was out of stock. I found Zappos by a search. It was cheaper and the shipping was amazing! THANK YOU!!! I'm so impressed with Zappos Customer Service.

Zappos + New Balance: Unbeatable - The New Balance MX608 gives my husband comfort and the support he needs, and gave me great peace of mind that it is all that the description states. Zappos website gave me several sneakers to choose from, with plenty of information to make the right choice for my husband - in the comfort of my own home. Plus great delivery service.
