I also agree with the other 608 review on the site. I have bought new balance shoes for years and the last few pairs I purchased didn't stand up for very long. The last pair only made it 57 days before the souls let go and the dirt could just run on in. Must now research another shoe.

I have worn and enjoyed the 608 New Balance shoes for years and the quality has diminished. The last 3 pairs have had issues. Two of the all leather pairs were bought together and didn't catch as much wear as the previous three pairs, the sole came loose on the white ones and the seams started coming apart on the black ones. I replaced them with a 608v4, not worth the effort, less support, laces that are made for shoes twice their size and not as good a fit anywhere on the foot. They now have a former customer that used to not even look at the competition to a buyer that will never consider the brand again.

The fit of this shoe has completely changed from previous versions. The toe box is really confining. I have worn the 608 for years. I used to wear an 8.5B. It was way too small. I tried a 9B, 9.5B, and a 9 wide. The 9 wide fit in length but was too wide.

I used to be able to wear any New Balance shoe and rely on good resilience and foot support. This shoe, however, feels as if I am walking on a slab of concrete, with no bounce and no shock absorption from the sole, especially in the heel. Even when I added heel cups, it was painful to wear.

After reading the great reviews on these shoes, It helped make my decision on what I thought were going to be the best purchase ever but not so much. I need comfortable shoes for my job in a doctor's office. Going home with tired and sore feet makes for bad day. These shoes are not comfortable at all. I hate that I paid all that money for good shoes only to be let down and now stuck with them.

Very disappointed. Minimal options on size. Where is the 2E that I have ordered in the past. And where is the 11.5 size.

I am disappointed with this shoes' fit in the back of the ankle. Though I have worn this style New Balance for many years, this is the first time that the back of each ankle has rubbed in a funny way. Maybe NB is saving a few pennies by not cushioning the ankle area as much as in years past.

New Balance missed it with this version of what was a great shoe. Not as much support as v3, don't like the gray up the front, reduced stitching changed styling and support (sure it saved money). Biggest miss is the loop for laces across tongue is too high on the tongue, causing laces to feel tight at ankle and tongue to be unstable midfoot. Give me back v3 please. I am returning these.

I have been ordering New Balance shoes for years now, and have never had a pair that I had to return. Ordered this pair because I needed a new pair, and this style was so cute. But they felt a whole size smaller than what was listed in the shoes.

Toe box too short and too narrow. D width too narrow. I have worn New Balance for years and these are the first I have had to return.

Sadly, this is one of three pairs I have to return. Not sure what has happened to new Balance sneakers because they are not true to size and this pair in particular has no arch support at all.

After wearing this shoe for years now, I went to the carnival store & bought another pair. They were so tight on my toes! I`m thinking,,, ok, i`m over 50. My feet cant have grown anymore!! I already wear an 11! So I try on a 12. Its better, but not great at all. My feet are slipping all over in them. They are flopping off my heels. And they are the most uncomfortable pair I've ever had! The girl at the store said that it was probably because you guys were using a new manufacturer. Bad Idea! Why do you big companies shoot yourselves in the foot, when you had a good thing going?! Well you can save a few pennies in the manufacturing, but I don't know if it will make up for all the business your going to lose when people stop buying your products.

I ordered this shoe because I thought it was like one I had ordered a couple of years ago, but they seem to have made it with a very narrow toe now. Very uncomfortable, especially for working out.

This shoe is awful. Uncomfortable and ugly. New Balance has really changed, no longer producing the comfortable shoes they used to. But Zappos is as always super and very patient.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever bought! And to make matters worst, "World Famous Footwear" would not take them back because I wore them 6 days, would never buy shoes there again! Can I please get my money back? Or at least exchange them for the old nonnon "memory foamed" insoles?!

I have been buying New Balance shoes for 30 years. I will probably be finding a new product. The fit is not the same as in years past. I cannot find the right size. I usually get 609's or 608's. My current purchase was the 608 style. I don't know if they even make the 609's anymore. They had the best fit and comfort!

These are not white; they are gray. They are the most uncomfortable New Balance sneakers I have ever worn. My feet and legs are so SORE when I wear them. If I had not thrown out the box I would have returned them.

The shoe is attractive and might be comfortable; however, it runs MUCH smaller than expected. I ordered an entire size larger than I wear with Clark's shoes, but it was still a full size too short. Therefore I've given the shoe one star ratings since I was unable to actually try it.

This has to be the most uncomfortable shoe I've ever spent money on. Not sure what happened to the quality of our footwear in the states, but these are proof positive that something needs to change. I took out the insert and looked at the stitching...horrible work. I guess this is what we get for blindly accepting child labor. I'm totally put off from purchasing NB after this purchase.

I had bought this shoe previously and loved it. However the two pair I just bought ran small. Pinched toes are no fun so I'm returning both pairs.
