Your shoes fit just as I thought they would, perfectly and really comfortable. Well worth the wait.

I walk about 5 miles a day, after a break in period, I find that the NB 608v5 is a great walking shoe! I love the large "toe box" which is a blessing to my wide feet. No knee or hip pain on my walks. I wore Rockports for more than 30 years, but I think I've found my new walking shoe for the future.

They don't squeak like the last pair! That's a BIG plus!

This is my forth pair of these type of sneakers. Long lasting and always been very comfortable out of the box until this pair. Not sure why but one sneaker just isn't as comfortable as the other. So I'm disappointed with this pair.

Didn't realize these weren't leather. They are also bulkier than I expected. I was looking for a sleeker, more low profile look. Unfortunately I will be returning these.

A great pair of shoes! Well they seemed a little bulky when I first wore them I discovered that that's what made them so comfortable as exercise and training shoes.

I'm sure these are good shoes, but the toe box was not deep enough to comfortably accommodate my hammertoe. I appreciate your easy return procedure.

I have had New Balance previously, but have recently tried other brands. I came back to New Balance because their shoes fit my wide feet properly and are comfortable. Without breaking them in I wore them for 3 days straight in a theme park without any issues or problems.

I believe shoe was not correctly sized. They were a full inch longer than all my other 8.5 wide sneakers.

I'm in my mid sixties with Morton's neuroma. Wanted to get a wider score to accommodate a metatarsal pat and allow the foot need to spread out. So I ordered a half size larger than usual in 2E, rather than regular with. So far, so good. Have a few four to five mile days with less discomfort in the foot. Pretty happy with the results.

I have purchased 5 pairs of shoes to wear to work in the last couple of years, and none proved to be what I needed and wanted. These WX608 women's shoes in wide fit well, are wide enough, and give my feet the support they need for walking/working for 12 hours!

I purchased these for my 76 year old husband before a trip to Italy. He only spent a few hours breaking them in before he left for Italy. He wore them every day on the 10-day trip, walked everywhere, even climbed steps to the top of the Domo in Florence, with no problems whatsoever. He loved them! Would highly recommend.

Bought this pair to replace worn out NB athletic shoes and worn out Nike athletic shoes. Wear these for walking dog, exercising on an elliptical trainer and casual occasions. Previous NB athletic shoes had served me well. Would never buy anything again from Nike, given their making a hero of Colin Kaepernick (sp??), following his refusal to stand for our National Anthem. So far, these new NB sport shoes have proven comfortable. Can't promise to buy NB shoes again, because of being 80 years old and maybe never buying another pair of shoes in my life.

The wide width was perfect for what I needed! Finally, have the all-white sneaker I have been seeking.

Usually this style fits just fine, but the right shoe fits much tighter across the lower laces. Even when I loosen laces, something inside (stitched seam) is putting pressure on the top of my toes and causes pain. No matter how thick or thin socks are, same experience.

About a year and a half ago I purchased a pair of 608s for men and they fit great. I use them for playing pickle ball they were white.
I recently purchased a pair of 608s for every day use the color just for reference was gunmetal. I'm very disappointed. The fit is very sloppy and when I walk they make a Popping sound. I'm a long-time purchaser of new balance sneakers and this is the first time I've been disappointed in a product.
