This a wonderful shoe. The fit is excellent. I have a narrow foot and it fits perfectly. I do notice that it is a little heavy. I have wore the shoes for a couple of 16 hr days and I had no foot pain.

The only negative is shipping with ups. UPS is slower than fedex with poor status updates on their website

The one thing I had to do was put an insole into the shoes. The padding was not comfortable when I first wore them. I put a set of decent gel insoles in and they are fine.

They seem a little large and the tongue is very scant, sometimes showing the sock underneath. And across the top of the arch, the sides flair out a little, but they are comfortable as always with NB for me. I am thankful for 4E sizes

This is the one I bought because of my wide feet with high arches. It is very comfortable and allows your foot to do its job without confinement.

These are a good all around pair of shoes. Very few company's make good cross training shoes for people with wide feet. If they do, they are cheap in appearance and performance, My last pair wore out rather quickly (the sole separated from the shoe) but hopefully that was just a fluke and these will be fine. I wish they would update the styling a little, my wife calls them my old man shoes, but they must be a big seller because they are alway excluded from all of the sales.

Great shoe. I have a wide foot the side does not come up high enough. The side barely reach the width of the tongue.

This is a very sturdy and durable shoe. I've had this shoe for 6 months and it is still in great condition. I mainly do strength training and a little bit of cardio at the gym. This shoe is great for the stability while lifting. Like other reviewers have said it can be a very hard shoe. I stand at work for 8 hours a day, I cannot recommend it for wearing for long periods because after 6 hours my feet are killing me. I'm 6'2'' and 290lbs with 4E width feet. This shoe was made more for training than everyday wear.

I wear a 10.5 6E shoe. New Balance is the only maker that I have found that makes such a wide shoe.

The length/ width fit was fine, but the sole heel material was much firmer than my present 608 style. The insert felt adequate, but my 608 shoes have an extra pad sewn in underneath, and the heel seems to be of a softer rubber. I require this added support built in, because a third-party insert pushes my foot up too far vertically in the shoe. I would have ordered the 608s again, but they no longer come in dark gray, which I prefer.
I'd also recommend:
I always buy New Balance, because my podiatrist recommends them.

I wear this shoe all day every day at work. Great support and a pretty durable shoe. My only gripe is that it only comes in a VERY VERY limited colors.

Use this shoe at the gym - a little cardio, mostly weight training, core work and stretching. Nice well made shoe. Solid feel when doing leg work - squats, deadlifts. Very comfortable. Fast on-line ordering service.

Good looking shoe. Insole not great with stiff curled-in ridges that hurt the insole of your foot. Removed and put in Sperry canvass shoe after cutting off the ridges. Substituted "10Seconds Arch 1000" that runners use, much better than NB.

When purchased in black, this shoe is rated as slip resistant. Wearing this shoe in a manufacturing environment, the slip resistance is just ok. There are better slip resistance shoes available. These shoes are well built and comfortable.

This was my second purchase of these shoes. I like the color and style of these NB shoes. The one draw back is in the toe area. It needs more padding from the ball of the foot to the toes. I cut a piece off of a Dr. Scholls support pads and place it under the NB cushion.
I'd also recommend:
I used to buy the cheaper version of the gray NB shoes for $75, but they no longer sell them

Love these trail shoes. I logged 47miles on them walking/running on asphalt and sand over just 5 days and my legs and feet barely felt the affects... I did upgrade the insoles to my superfleet orthodics as the inserts that came with them seemed quite flimsy but I think main reason for comfort was the shoe itself.

Like the tread and overall fit. I need wide width and new balance always has a great selection to choose from.

Nice shoes, but a bit on the small side. I will be ordering a larger version.
