I just got them out of the box tried them on and they fit great. I tried places like Amazon and they are very limited as far as size and especially wide widths. I will be buying my shoes on here from now on. I am going to get them in black for work.
I'd also recommend:
I usually stick with new balance.

Have plantar fasciitis for 4 years,am a high rolling health care worker and on my feet 50 hours a week.Did ultra sounds, physical therapy, patches on my feet,sports tape on my feet and seriously love the shoes the moment i put them on.LOL I was trying to save some serious cash for future health care expenses by wearing good quality used ,and disinfected ,new looking top name brand shoes.. Epic fail. The old ones are in the trash,I am now a top dollar spender.I will enjoy reading all your reviews for my next pair,If your on your feet 50 plus hours working and have foot problems please point out some great shoes for me,thanks!

I reviewed this before but this needs to be said. please disregard my previous review. chalk it up to ignorance. this version of the 608 is far superior in comfort and fit. the polyurethane insole is very comfortable. while the toebox is a little narrower it is still a good fit widthwise. it also has more room for the instep area. it will also accomadate orthotics like the v4did.the only question I have is how long this shoe will last due to the faux leather construction. read in another review that sometimes the outsole will come unglued from the faux leather at the seam. will let you know how well it does for me. all in all a very good shoe. wore them for the first time at work for 10 hrs. on hard cement and they preformed excellently.

I'm very pleased with NB 608 model sneakers. I had surgery on my right foot for a ruptured peroneal tendon

Wore the sneakers"out of the box" and on a concrete floor for eight hours and they felt great. I have worn New Balance for years and the fit was right. With leather uppers, the sneakers look great and the slip resistant soles worked like they should.

I bought these New Balance 608 to replace a pair of 609 I had for years. I bought exactly the same size. The 608 toe box is a little more narrow than the old 609, but the overall fit is very good.

I bought these for my husband because his last pair of Nikes were falling apart. He needs a wide shoe and they're not often easy to find in stores. He says the New Balance sneaks (he's Australian, so he says "trainers") are very comfortable. He likes the way they look as well. We're hoping they last longer than the Nikes, which are only about a year old.

Very happy with the MX608v5. I wear 11 EE and these fit perfectly. Very comfortable. I walk alot and usually go through a pair of sneakers in about a year. We'll see how they last.

I have had flat feet all my life. It can be very painful. I have always had to add arch supports in my shoes because they are not built with support under the arches. But when I tried my first pair of New Balance shoes I was really happy that someone finally built a quality shoe that I could wear all day without added arch supports. Thanks for a great product. I have purchased three pairs of NB's in the last year and highly recommend them for anyone who is needing good and comfortable support.

I'm glad to have found a New Balance walker with a pull loop at the back it saves a lot of work if you'd taken them off while they were tied relatively tight.
I do wish there were a better way to compare models. I come in with "I want a walking shoe from NB that can be casually mistaken for a dress shoe." This gets me several results at a wide range of prices. The differentiators are one or two items changed, omitted, or inserted in a list of features, and most of the features have promotional names instead of descriptions/benefits you can compare.
When I shop New Balance, I generally look for color and style, estimate the mid-price, and take whatever has been marked down from that.

I have worn 608's for several years, numerous pair. It doesn't feel like the heel comes up as high and is as supportive as earlier models.

Making the midlife transition from Mustangs to Corvettes wasn't easy. All I've ever owned, built, and raced has been a whole fleet of Mustangs. But as I reached that midlife point, I realized it was time for a change. Time for an upgrade. Time for a CORVETTE. So I picked one up this year. It's been a great car! However, buying a Chevrolet brought sharp criticism from my Mustang friends, so now I can only hope to fit in with the Corvette crowd. Unfortunately, my black Adidas were shunned by the Corvette community. I was the black sheep of the Cars & Coffee meet. I knew what I had to do. I drove straight to the New Balance store and bought a pair of bright white NB608v5s! (also known as Grillmaster 7s in the Corvette community) Now I'm practically a celebrity at the Corvette shows. My V5s are the envy of the show because most of those guys are still rocking the V4s. And the best part of all is that THESE SHOES ARE ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE! I think I'm in love with New Balance! Thank you for making such comfortable and stylish shoes. I am now one of the cool kids, thanks to NB!
