Got 2 pair of New Balance flip flops yesterday. They arrived really fast & fit perfectly, as do all of my New Balance shoes. Most comfortable flip flops ever!

You're not going to find anything better for the price. Fit is exactly as advertised., and I like the all-leather version of this shoe

I don't live in New Balance sneakers. I also own several pairs of New Balance walking shoes. I've worn other brands I like pretty well, but I've also worn some I didn't. Wore one very popular brand for a month and had plantar fasciitis for 6 months afterward. Not saying it was a bad shoe, just not suited to my feet. 623s are my mainstay, thought I'd give this model a try. So now I have two mainstays. I like the consistency of the brand--so far, if one model feels good, every other style in that size has also felt good. I'm not giving up my regular retailer, but buying online is also a nice convenience.

These shoes look good,and feel fantastic. The width makes for comfort , while the support makes walking a pleasure.

Had to return the first pair cause they were tight on my toe. Went up a size and these feel really good with noticeable arch support.

I usually get the 608v4 but it's was discontinued so I tried the new 608. The toe box was too narrow and I was not comfortable with the insoles. The D width was fine in general but not in the area of the toe box. I really miss the 608v4.

My son has another style of New Balance (and some other brands) that are 10 1/2 EE. We ordered the same size for this pair and they were huge, so went down to a 10 - again, way too big - width and length, so I've given up and will try something else.

Good looking shoe at a great price, but ran smaller than my other NB’s. Insoles definitely should be replaced. Regretfully, Returned shoes for refund.

I need shoes with a super wide toe box. I called NewBalance and they told me that the MX608v5 had an extra wide toe box, so I ordered them in 13 4E. These were some of the most narrow sneakers I've tried on in years. I don't know if it's NewBalance's new standard, but if it is, I need to find a new brand for wide shoes. Any suggestions?

These are the only sneakers my son will wear. The arch support is excellent and they wear well.

Been wearing NB 608's for several years and each year the subtle improvements to the shoe has been positive improvements.
I'll keep using 608s as long as NB makes them, very comfortable and good looking shoe

I specifically bought these because they were black. I like to wear black shoes in fall and winter. But leather shoes are too stiff.

I ordered these for my husband as he has been a true fan of NB 608s. He wears a EE width which has not been available in stores. When I suggested ordering them from Zappos, he was skeptical but when they arrived less than a week later, and fit to a “T”, well, let’s just say he’ll be ordering his replacement pairs from Zappos going forward! Thank you, Zappos, for saving this guy from having to settle for a less than perfect fit!

Really like the suede 608 trainer. Wear all year long for everything! Miss my grey and pink ones--but maybe you will bring them back (hint.) Comfort and support you can count on. 608--my favorite shoe!!

On New Balance site did a search for 'slip ons' and this shoe came up. When I received the sneaker it was a lace up show and due to recent surgery is not good for me. I had to return the sneakers.

Been wearing 608's for years and each year NB incorporates small improvements yet maintains the 608's heritage.
Very comfortable overall shoe that runs slightly small in overall size

I really like the fact that NB offers the 4E extra wide width. I only wish that it was available in all of their shoes. But, some manufacturers don't offer it in any. Thanks NB.
