I have always loved New Balance shoes. The new design is nice. I find they seems a little bigger than normal. But they are awesome!!

I had a pair of these shoes before and they were great. I was very happy to find new ones online with my special size (9.5 4E).

I am still in the process of breaking the shoes in, but they seem to offer good traction and don't squeak on tile floors when sole is wet. The insole is removable. The included insole has a "knobby" feeling like they are supposed to massage or change pressure points. The arch could stand to be a little higher. I wanted a "B" width but these were only available in "D" and my foot does not seem to be flopping around inside of them. After wearing them for 4 hours, walking around in malls and other places, I got the usual break in foot pains, but the shoes did not feel hot or make my feet sweat. Overall, a good value for the price and they were one of the few shoes in my size (15) that were all white and under $100.

The athletic men's shoe was as expected. Nice leather and great fit and support.

I have been buying New Balance for years due to the difficulty finding shoes to fit my size 11.5 4E, high arched feet. I have bought several generations of this shoe over the years, which I use for walking, lifting weights, and using the eliptical machine. The shoe fits well and appears to be well made. It is not as solid as it was a decade ago, but for the price I can't imagine a better shoe. If previous iterations are an indication, I will be able to wear these for a couple of years. They are not the most stylish shoe, but that is not particularly important to me. With high arches I need support, and these fit the bill.

Went on vacay upon receipt of shoes and had to break in on the fly. Walked about 10 miles in the first 2 days without any issues

I had previously ordered this shoe from another vendor in white and was quite happy with it - fit well, decent cushionin for a variety of training activities. I ordered another pair in black from NB directly but found it to be much stiffer and less cushioned than the white pair. Unfortunately, the black pair was returned.

I bought two pairs of exact same model/size...one black and one white. This model is the exact same shoe I have ordered for years. The black pair fit fine, the white pair was a whole size too large even though it said the correct size ordered. Returned the white pair and ordered a second pair 1/2 size smaller. They were so short my toes were jammed in the end. Returned them as well. The uunfortunate part is this is not the first time this has happened. Cannot understand how ordering two pair of the same model/size etc. And only different colors can always be so inconsistent in size. If this had been the first time it had happened I might be inclined to excuse it; however, it has occurred multiple times over multiple years. Sadly, will need to buy my shoes elsewhere.

Comfort right out of the box no need to break them in. They also have added stability that I need I would definitely recommend this shoe to others.

No break in period. They fit great and were comfortable from the first time I put them on. I work retail. I am on my feet 8 to 10 hours every day. Very comfortable shoe.

I ordered the wrong size by mistake. Customer service was phenomenal!! I then ordered the correct size a few days later. Both pairs came on the same day. I already had a return label. Dropped off the shoes at UPS. 2 days later had a refund. Love, love my shoes!! The shoes look better than the picture and fit according to size. Praise God - I don't have to go back to a shoe store!!

I only wear New Balance 608 and hope they never discontinue them. They are the only shoes I can buy and know they are perfect.

I am a football referee and have switched to New Balance for all my games (JH, subvarsity, and varsity). I plan on using the 608's for varsity turf games (I have two pair of 950's [one for JH and subvarsity three seasons old and a new pair for varsity] that I use on grass fields). The 2E width provides a perfect fit for my wide foot and the leather upper provides the professional look you need when calling a game. The cushioned insole provides the great shock absorption required when I spent up to three hours or more on my feet. Fit, comfort, and style make this the shoe I need.
