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.

I got double wide, and the width mainly goes to the toes and not the centre of the foot. It pinches a bit in the middle making them slightly less comfortable. Besides that I think these shoes are comfortable

Not enough wiggle room for my toes. Other than that, good shoe.

I have used this version of your shoe for many years and I am finding some inconsistency in the sizing.

Longtime user of the 608 but something is wrong with the new purchase I made of it. Wears out faster, especially by the balls of the feet. Feel like I did not get my money's worth. Hope they put in more padding to the entire sneaker.

not much padding in them for a walking shoe kind of hurt my feet

This is my forth pair of these type of sneakers. Long lasting and always been very comfortable out of the box until this pair. Not sure why but one sneaker just isn't as comfortable as the other. So I'm disappointed with this pair.

I'm sure these are good shoes, but the toe box was not deep enough to comfortably accommodate my hammertoe. I appreciate your easy return procedure.

I bought exact the same shoe in black 8.5 D in 2019. I love it and came to shop for the 2nd pair for the winter. The black is not available so I got the white one instead but was disappointed because it is tight on the top and inside is not as comfortable and well padded as the one I had earlier so I have to returned it.

Usually this style fits just fine, but the right shoe fits much tighter across the lower laces. Even when I loosen laces, something inside (stitched seam) is putting pressure on the top of my toes and causes pain. No matter how thick or thin socks are, same experience.

I wear the shoes for yoga, treadmill and other exercises. The shoe is a little heavy and the pointed toe does not allow my toes to stretch out. When I finish my workout, my toes are usually hurting.

My left foot is a bit larger than my right but the right one's heel was really loose. These were a 9W but looked enormous on my feet.

Compares well with previous product #624. The tongue is short - takes effort to get strings over it. Heel has two high points for stabilization which make putting shoe on difficult. Otherwise shoe seems stable.

There were no 624s to order. I bought the 608 for the first time in a while. The 608- v5 - doesn't fit me as well as the 624s did. The 608s have not-as-much toe space as the 624s did.

I have been wearing New Balance size 8.5 wide for many years. Now they are much too short. Even the size 9 is not quite long enough. What happened?

The shoe is heavier than I expected that it is hard to move with it when I am doing zumba. But, it is comfortable.
