These fit like my old pair of New Balance compared to my Nike's which don't fit like my previous pair with the same skew numbers

These are perfect, comfortable shoes right out of the box. I did not size up as recommended and they fit perfectly. As a commuter, I walk several miles a day. I will definitely purchase another pair!

These shoes fit perfectly but the laces are about 10 inches too long. Had to order some new laces or take the shoes back. I have a short wide foot so it's hard for me to even find shoes to wear.

Been ordering this style for years, though this time the inner sole seems to be less cushioned.

My husband loves these shoes so much he buys two pairs at a time! He appreciates that the “608” style has remained true over the years. We’ll be back for more!

I previously had a pair of 608v4s which I loved (very comfortable). However I am very disappointed with v5 because the innersoles are not smooth. They have a textured pattern from heel to toe which you can feel when you walk. What were they thinking? Did anyone at NB actually try these on and walk around? I replaced the innersoles with commercial ones which also offer arch support, now very comfortable.

They feel small. They look good. I can't tell that they are not leather. I've worn NB walking shoes of various models exclusively for about 20 years and always ordered 9.5 4E and they always fit the same. My last pair, I decided to try the MX608v4 last year. To my surprise, they felt bigger than my usual 9.5 4E, especially in the heal cup. Now that they are wearing out, I decided to try the 608v5's. I was happy when I received them until I put them on. Within minutes, I was happy to take them off. They are small all over, especially the narrow toe box. The 608v5's have gone back. Thank you Zappos. What bothers me about New Balance is that every time I find a model that I like, the next time I need shoes, that model is discontinued and I have to find another model to buy. It's very frustrating. I'm now going to try the Nike Air Monarch IV.

I only wear these shoes to the gym, so for me they are comfortable for the 3 hours I wear them.

This is my fifth pair of the MX608 shoes. Great shoes and one of the few I can find at 13 4E.
