These shoes were very uncomfortable. The sole was stiff and lacked padding. I've sent them back.

These shoes look too wide! The fit is so-so, but I need to use orthotics for proper arch support. I really wish the shoes had a narrower outline to match the actual outline of my extremely slim (AAA) feet.

These just didn't fit right, nor did they have the support I'm used to with some other NB shoes. The toe box was narrower, I think. Basically, I'll just have to stick with the ones that I've worn for a while!

I have bunions and my feet hurt as I tried them on. They seem less cushion than previous New Balance trainers I used to buy and wear from 2006 to about mid 2010s.

These fit as expected and they look nice, too. My orthotics fit, but they are squeaky so I’m still thinking about whether I’ll keep the shoes.

It was a narrow, but felt wider. Overall, just did not feel right on my feet.

This is a great hiking shoe for me and meets all my podiatrist's recommendations; HOWEVER, there has always been a major problem with proper sizing!
I usually wear 9.5 B. Ordered, full size or more too large. Ordered replacement with a narrow width and this felt and fit great!!! Reordered the narrow after a year and I could not get my foot into them. Replaced with a B width which fit okay EXCEPT no toe room! I will be searching at the local sporting shop to see if there is another style for me that will work. Very disappointed that the sizing is not more consistent!!!

There seems to be a new style of 608. Laces are different with loops instead of directly into the shoe. But mostly is the heel material. The new ones are extremely difficult to slide into. The heel is sloppy weak, folds over and the pull on strap is too small to get a finger in. I will not order these again unless I know they are the older style shoe.

The sneakers do not provide the support or comfort that is noted in the description. They run small and are tight in the toe area.

I have been wearing NB shoes for the last 10 years. These are the first that are actually uncomfortabledue to their stiffness.

The shoes are great and all I've worn the last 10 plus years. The only problem I had was with UPS . My shoes arrived in my home State Dec 22,2022. But them for unknown reasons UPS sent them to Montana. Eventually my shoes arrived on Dec 30, 2022.

The wide size 6 was a little too big, I have to try the 5.5 size. I would appreiciate being informed of when your reg size 6 are back in stock. They fit me the best & I work in the health care industry.

I asked your CSR for a recommendation for a comparable model to the 624's I've been wearing for years. The 608' are OK, but not nearly as good as the ones I've been used to wearing

The width is tight. I'm hoping it will stretch a bit. It's the first time I ever thought I needed W rather than M. My 608V5 suede pair is extremely comfortable

Could not get MX608 in all white in my 8.5D size. Settled for ones with a few blue markings because I have worn NB sneakers for 20 years because they are comfortable and need no break in time.

I bought a second pair as decided to use pair I have had for six months as more a work shoe for outside. Shortly after receiving new pair which are still in box, the sole on my left shoe has broken apart and glue does not hold. So certainly disappointed in this shoe and now wonder if I should send back the new pair due to poor workmanship.

but I'd feel a lot better about wearing & paying MORE for them if they were made in the USA MFG's need focus on customer satisfaction & "product quality" instead of profit margins.

Even though I ordered Size 10 Extra Wide, I feel they fir smaller than other New Balance shoes, I would order a size larger if I order again.

I have purchased this product many times, and now repurchased. The last pair started to fall apart so I purchased a new pair earlier than expected. The black bottom layer separated from the sole and kept getting worse. Ifd the same issue occurs with the new pair I will need to consider a different approach.
