Love these shoes! Good support and size is right on. I'm ordering a second pair to have when my current pair wears out.

A very good buy for my husband! He says they are very comfortable and warm. I like the color and the look of the shoe.

As always, excellent service and delivery, along with return. If they don't have an item, they always seem to find it!

These shoes are great. They are very comfortable, lightweight and sturdy. I also like the fact that they are sneakers, but don't look like typical sneakers. I also think that the service, free delivery and returns from Zappos is amazing!

The sneakers are excellent and the sizes are true. I've found them to be slightly large, and the extra widths (4E) are more than most other sneakers offer. Also, Zappos seems to be keeping some of the older styles in stock, which I appreciate. These are my third or fourth pair of this specific shoe. Zappos shipping is quick and efficient. The return policy fair and helpful.

I have a very short and wide foot. Finding shoes that fit, look good and don't my feet is very hard. The only shoes that I have brought in the past is white or black tennis shoes and my wife wanted something appropriate for winter. These shoes fit, look good and don't hurt my feet and are a home run.

I have been buying the 608 for years because they are simply the most comfortable and supportive sneakers I\'ve owned. This new model is excellent as well, but I think they are a little wider than the original. Zappos was perfect as usual.

I like the toe box space, the surefooted sole and the right amount of cushioning for me.

I have a hard time buying shoes that fit my needs. I am on my feet a great deal of time and a good portion of that time I am on a unforgiving concrete surface at my PT job with the Home Depot. I suffer with sciatica and I needed something comfortable that could breathe and could be worn in a casual environment. I reached out to Zappos and found a pair of New Balance shoes that have delivered since I received them. I am pleased and would certainly recommend them to others and purchase again from Zappos and buy the New Balance product.

These were a replacement for a defective pair I was sent and while I dixn\'t get a refund for the previous (used shoes!) pair I was sent, they did give me $25 credit toward another pair. I ordered the new shoes and 2 days later they were on my porch. Pretty good customer service and excellent at getting my order ASAP.

Great shoes at a great price. I have terribly flat feet and always have foot pain with most shoes. These new walking shoes help that problem and I can have them on longer than other shoes I have worn.

My husband referees basketball and loves these shoes. We usually order a new pair each year at the beginning of the season. I highly recommend them.

This is my first pair of NB and I gotta say i'm pretty impressed. They are incredibly well built, very comfortable and supportive throughout the foot. Essentially they are designed as a walking shoe, although I also use them for aerobic training and they work great with great support on the side of the shoe. So, for example, when you do jumping jacks, your foot doesn't slide in the shoe to the side, like it would with a running shoe. I mainly use them for work and I'm on my feet quite a bit throughout the day and they perform perfectly. I've had a similar Reebok walking shoe and they were definitely not as well built, as supportive, or comfortable as these. The Reeboks were considerably less expensive than these NB, which is most likely why there was a big difference in the comfort. However in my opinion when it comes to good footwear you really get what you pay for so I don't mind spending more for a good pair of shoes that are comfortable, supportive, and will last. You depend on your feet, so they deserve a good pair of quality shoes

VIP service is great; next day the shoes were here. The New Balance shoes are similar to what I had before and they have not disappointed me. The fit is what I expected and they were comfortable from the first time I put them on.

I have bought many pairs of shoes from Zappos and I love the convenience and prompt delivery. The New Balance trainers I bought were exactly what I wanted and they fit perfectly.

I ordered these shoes at 7:00 p.m. and received them at my door at 1:00 p.m. the next day. That was fast. The shoes are great and exactly what I wanted and cheaper than our local retailer who did not have the color I wanted in stock. I am very satisfied and this was the second purchase that I have made from your company in six years. It will not be my last.

When New Balance 608\'s became hard to find, I turned to Zappo\'s to see what they had as a substitute worth trying. The V2 608\'s are similar to the first version, and are very comfortable. I find they are slightly wider than the originals, so I could have gone a size narrower. LOOOOOONG shoestrings too, which in my opinion is a big plus. I have never found any shoe that is as comfortable and long-lasting as the 608\'s were, and time will tell on these. Had them about a month and all\'s well so far. By the way, Zappo\'s ships FAST! With standard shipping, I had these the morning after I ordered them the evening before. Don\'t know how they did it!

I work in the food service industry. I wear lightweight running sneakers while not at work. These sneakers/work shoes are lighter than most slip resistant shoes which I like. They were comfortable to wear almost immediately. They are a bit warm - good in winter not so good in hot kitchens. Although they are slip resistant I find they are not the best on wet floors. Fit was true to my size.

Wonderful quality and Zappos service is awesome, however after wearing the shoe for a few weeks it remains not comfortable.

I love the shoe, but the sizes run a little small. It could use a little more room in the toe box. Other than that the shoe is great.

I really like these shoes, except for the fact that the sole is peeling off from the back. After about three months of use, on both shoes the last two weeks or so of the sole has for no discernible reason separated itself from the rest of the shoe. This is vexing not only because I'm going to have to find some cement of some sort to fix the issue, but also because I've come to rely on New Balance to deliver good-fitting shoes that last.

This shoe is good for working out in the gym, but I personally don't like them too much for power walking & jogging. They're not good at all for those types of workouts. It's definitely good at the gym, but not on the treadmill.

Looks great, very comfortable. Would be great for lots of activities if it weren't for the standard problem with New Balance shoes - the various materials laminated together to make up the sole separate and don't hold together. In the 1 month I've owned these the dark blue of the sole has almost entirely separated from the white part of the sole on one shoe and it is starting on the second shoe. Other than walking across the parking lot, all the wear has been in our house, a few trips to stores around town, and 3 racquetball games. I'm just really sad Zappos requires you to send returns back in the original box as one of the children was helpful in cleaning and through away the empty cardboard box. You might get lucky and mine was just a quality control issue, but I've seen it with too many New Balance shoes. They nail the comfort and style categories, particularly for people who want more of a box toe than a pointy little elf shoe...but oh why can't they get it the glue issue figured out.

Fit is spot on. Quality seems good. The sole is crap! Actually dangerous for walking on wood decks, docks, logs and other semi hard surfaces. In wet conditions they slip off the pedals in my truck! The soles are just too hard.

I have worn cross-trainers from New Balance for years and have always loved them. The most recent pair I received had the entire sole of the right shoe peel off after 3 months of wear. There appeared to be very little adhesive applied. I'm used to much better quality from NB shoes, so hopefully this is not an indicator of how they are making shoes these days.
