I bought this shoe for cross training purposes. To use for Zumba and pickle ball. I am used to the running shoe fresh foam x1080's so this was a different purchase for me. I found that the 680 wasn't as cushy as the 1080 but I guess that is to be expected. So far they are working out fine. The width doesn't feel quite as wide as the 1080's.

Very satisfied with my NB shoes! Perfect fit & easy to put on using the little heel loops.

I am bummed. I have worn NB608s for years for pretty intense workouts. They are not stylish but they are solid and fit great. This new version seems to have a "plastic" sole rather than a rubber sole, and for HIIT that makes a big difference that just doesn't work.

I shoes are nice, but this pair that I just purchased fit a little snug. I like the color of the shoes. They have a nice design .

Got them for my husband as a father's day gift, one shoe per child. He loves them, the shoes I mean.

The wide size for me is very comfortable and has good "wiggle" room.
Good looking and great for the gym or casual wear.

These shoes are comfortable. They fit well, feel supportive, and I'm glad I bought them. I can wear them to work and stand all day and not be limping when I get home.

I have been wearing NB shoes for many, many years. After having two hip replacements, I needed a walking shoe that could give me lots of support. I bought a pair of Nike and gave them away. New Balance is the most appropriate shoe for me.

My purchase was delivered in a timely manner. The size 12 sneakers are rather tight. Never before have I had a size 12 this tight.

I love this style of New Balance. I have worn this style for 15+ years. They are great year round shoes. Because they are full leather uppers with no mesh that can get wet when it rains or snows.

I received my new shoes with one of the aglets (plastic piece on end of shoestring) damaged and hanging on by a thread. Rather than just send me a new pair of shoestrings to go with my new pair of shoes, they wanted me to return the shoes for a replacement. I realize this was a small thing and I could buy a pair of shoestrings, but it seems I should get what I paid for...a complete new pair of shoes. I love the shoes and didn't have time to return them; needed them for a trip, but I was disappointed with the customer service.

Yes, it is a sturdy shoe, but it feels heavy and I hope it becomes more flexible as I wear them.
Not what I was expecting.

I have used this particular style for a few years now and find them very comfortable especially for someone in their 50s, for walking short or long distance. Plenty of room, they don't make your feet hot and very good for issues with one's feet, as in heals or toes. Highly recommend! Also I get a number of compliments on these particular sneakers.

I like New Balance but sizing does not seem consistent.

Had my doubts about ordering online. But they were perfect! Would like to see more heel padding on the insole, small issue. Great brand, always get NewBalance never disappointed!!!
