Sneakers are great for jogging or walking around town.

Bought these to replace my old NB 992's. They were size 14, but these were significantly shorter. Guess I need to go to a size 15.

I'm a nurse and have big feet thanks to my dad's inheritance. I have tried multiple shoes, inserts, anything you can think of I have tried . My closet is full of shoes I have tried and they simple make my feet hurt. I tried a pair of new Balance 608's and love these shoes . I will never buy another type of shoe. I've been wearing the New Balance shoes for the past 20 years .

I've worn this model of shoe since 2014 with great satisfaction. I walk many miles and have always been impressed with the quality of the shoe, since I still, on occasion, wear the first pair I ever purchased. Last June however, I purchased my third pair and was very disappointed. By October the soles had separated from the uppers on both shoes. I bought the shoes at a New Balance Outlet Store in Las Vegas which makes me wonder if outlet stores sell "seconds", or shoes that don't pass the factory inspector, or did I just get a bad pair of shoes?

I ordered this pair of shoes for my son. He is 6'4" tall, and weighs in at a hefty 290 lbs. He is a power lifter, and wrestler. It is hard to find a comfortable pair of shoes for this gentle giant. He absolutely loved them! We will be ordering more when he is ready for a new pair of shoes.

I have always used New Balance. This pair that I got the right foot seems loose. The left fits fine. Not sure why this is. I wear them for work so I am on my feet a lot.

I tried these because the 409 is no longer made. I bought a wide width, but they were tight in the toe box. Had to send them back.

I purchased these shoes because I needed a new pair. The shoes I wanted and really liked were not available. This pair is OK but not as good as the one not available in my size. This shoe functions as "a shoe should" by keeping my feet safe from going without. Nothing special.

I bought this NB because I wanted a leather outer for daily walks. This shoe is cushy but solid and a reasonable price point. The heel and ankle feel tight and secure. I also like the two tabbed laces across the arch for easier tightening and less lace slip. However, the toe box goes very wide at the bottom two laces and then a long wide toe box without an additional lace slot. On my foot, it means i can't tighten up the toe box which make me feel less secure. If i pull the bottom two laces tight then it pinches me at the lower arch instead of the ball of my foot or lower.

Even though the shoes are no longer made in the U.S., they continue to be a reliable product. Solid, comfortable and appealing.

Great shoes. Only shoes I can wear where my feet don't stink when I take them off. Prices have gone up every year and Sears, JCP and Kohls don't offer these 608 v anymore. So I been buying through NewBalance.

I purchased this shoe as I was unable to purchase the 624 in my size. I loved the 624, but I guess they are phasing it out which is unfortunate. I found the 608 is fairly tight on my foot through the toe area. This has not been a problem for me in the 624. I was hoping the 608 would relax a little over time, but so far no luck.

I wore these at church for a half hour before my arches began to hurt...a lot. I made it through the service (and the trip home) then I put away these and will NOT wear them again again without adding arch supports. My old New Balance walking shoes are on my feet now....they cost twice as much but at least I am not IN PAIN.

Fits well over AFOs. However, the insoles must be removed and the inside of the sneaker wears through quickly with AFOs rubbing against the insides.
