Purchased NB 9 wide in a different style last year, made in the USA, and they fit great and are very comfortable. I was looking for a leather athletic shoe for the winter months. Ordered the 9 wide in this style and the length was fine, but the toe area really isn't wide, not even close. Very disappointed and sent them back. Seems there is no consistency in the NB shoes. Compared the 2 different styles and there is a big difference in width. Wide should be wide!

I love these shoes! This is the second pair of them I've bought. They are comfortable right out of the box, and are long-wearing. I like them so much, I just bought another pair to hold onto until this pair ultimately wears out!

After little use and no abuse, the shoes are starting to fall apart. This was unexpected. The sole of one of the shoes is beginning to separate at the toe.

I've been wearing 608s for several years. They always have new colors and they always fit the same. I can always trust the 608 to fit just right and feel great.

I love my New Balance 608. 18 years in Pharmacy on my feet all day and they feel great all day.

The New Balance 608 was recommended by a podiatrist friend. It offers support and comfort. I did follow the advice to get a half-size larger.

I am a regular size 8 & even sometimes a 7 1/2. NB shoes must run small. All 4 pair in my order were 1/2 size too short.
I also hoped that something would have changed. I have narrow feet & a very narrow heel. As in the past, this heel is too wide for me. :(.

This will work....and feels like I need arch inserts. Then, I am used to wearing Vionics now. I had to buy an 8 rather than 7.5. Use for aerobics and general working out.

Walking is almost a daily exercise for me, close to a mile on average. I went to a size 13 to get more room for my big toe, especially going downhill. These have done the trick. The fit feels good all around. My big toes once again have nails.

This is the best workout shoe I've had in years. I've been using it mainly for BodyPump (choreographed free weights) but would also feel completely comfortable doing elliptical in it. Great structure and stability, and I basically don't notice it, which is what I want from a workout shoe. A size 8D usually fits me, and there's bit of extra wiggle in the heel of these, but nothing slightly thicker socks don't fix. If I were going to wear the shoes for running or dance aerobics, I'd probably want a 7-1/2.

New Balance has been my go to shoe for years. Now all of a sudden they are hit or miss with sizing. Measured against an older shoe of same size and they are definitely longer and wider. Gonna try a half size smaller and Return these.

They feel great but after wearing for 15-20 minutes the stitching of leather was rubbing my pinky toes
it really hurt other than that it is a pretty shoe and felt lots of heal support
