If I had not thrown away all the packing and box's I would return these shoes. After wearing them a few hours they made the bottom of my feet burn so badly I had to take them off.

I like the sneakers but my last three pairs of soles started to fall off starting at the toe and my neighbor had the same problem I think they have to buy better glue.

I ordered the same size always wear but they too short. Also the width across the ball of the foot, right foot shoe was visibly wider than the left.
Poor quality, poorly made shoes.

After just one time wearing these shoes my feet and legs hurt horribly. Will not buy again.

I wore them (outside walking) and therefore I can't return them. I don't have the original box because I thought they fit great, until I went for a walk. In about half a mile I could feel the pain in my foot. I would have returned them, but I cannot. I have an older pair of New Balance and they fit fine. So it's not across the board.

I have been purchasing New Balance for years, not sure what has changed? Bought this pair in July 2021, stitching broke out in 6 months, I returned for a free exchange, have had new pair for 2 weeks, same stitching at front on both shoes has failed! Very disappointed, will be returning these too & changing brands.

This shoe has legit no traction; wet pavement, fresh mopped floors--I was constantly slipping. There is no arch support and an overall lack of support (and this is with a custom orthotic added).

Do not buy - sole completed shredded after one week of wear by son. They didn't seem like the typical New Balance quality.

Bought the size I wear in Monarchs. They didn’t fit the same and seemed like they had less cushion.

Unfortunately, I ordered WIDE width, didn't see C or D offered . Was sent D - too wide. Have to return. Had to buy others.

I had to return these because at a size 10 which is my usual size I could not even get my feet in them. They are a size nine at the most, maybe even smaller.
Returned two weeks ago and still waiting to hear about a refund.
Disappointing transaction in two different ways.

I ordered this shoe because the 624 trainer I wanted was not available. The 608v5 had significantly less sole under my foot than the 624, especially the ball of my foot and toes. It also had a ridge that ran across the sole under the ball of my foot. Even in the 10 minutes I wore them the ridge was a problem; it would never work for extended wear. The fit of the shoe was good but the issues with the sole caused me to return them.

I have only bought NB cross training shoes for the last 10 years or so because they had the best arch support but now you've made a shoe without it sorry for me won't be using your product anymore!

I have always used NewBalance for my work shoes. They don't offer the model I used to buy so I tried these. What a joke. No support, very uncomfortable. Won't trust this company again for work shoes.
