I've worn New Balance 608s for 10 years or more. I've tried other athletic shoes, but they don't fit as well, aren't as comfortable, and aren't as versatile. 608s are described as "trainers." I used to jog and walk in them. Now I just walk.... 5-10 miles a day, and my feet feel great even at the end of the walk. Wish the women's 608 shoes came in more colors than solid black, white with baby blue, and white with salmon pink. I'd like a classic white leather shoe or white with navy blue.
I'd also recommend:
Birkenstock, Dansko.

Use every day - these cross trainers hold my foot firmly and steady. I notice a great improvement in my balance. No falling any more.

I really like the looks and like the black shoelaces, instead of white like most athletic shoes! They do seem a little shorter than my other New Balance athletic shoes!

Purchased these shoes after my prior New Balance shoes experienced sole separation. New Balance Customer Service was very helpful in arranging a partial reimbursement that I used to purchase this pair. The new pair is performing well with no sign of a problem but it has only been a few weeks. They fit well and appear well made and are very comfortable.

Got these for my hubby for Christmas. He found the box in the garage and needed it, didn't realize until he opened it that it was a present for him! Oh well, he loves them!

I wear an 8 shoe size. Bought these in 8 1/2 wide and put really good pair of insoles in them. I have planter fasciitis and wanted extra cushioning and support to help alleviate this condition. They really give good support and actually my heel doesn’t hurt as much when I’m wearing them. I would recommend these shoes for comfort and good support.

I use this product very frequently to umpire adult Slo-Pitch games. These shoes are much lighter & more comfortable than my previous shoes.
Hopefully the stitching and leather quality are better in these shoes than the previous ones. Looking to get at least 5 years out of these shoes.

I'm a U.S. women's size 9/9.5 and the med 7.5 fit perfectly.

I use my New Balance Cross Trainers for long distance walking. I have been suffering with plantar fibromas on both arches for the past 7 years, which makes it very painful to wear sneakers that have the extra arch support in the insole. The New Balance Cross Trainers are very comfortable with the ABZORB insole, while supporting my feet and ankles in all of the right places.

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.

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.
