I love these sneakers. I have had about 6 pairs over last 3 years. Most recent purchase (2weeks ago) the bottom front portion of sole started to come undone. Literally just applied superglue to it an hour ago. Probably just a bad run but I love these shoes and likely will but again in future.

I wish you would have a better selection for people with large feet.

I'm a long time fan of NB (decades), but the shoes seem to fall apart quicker and quicker. If they could regain some of their durability that they used to have, they'd be perfect for me.

So far, I am satisfied with these shoes, but the bottom soles of my last two pairs of shoes came off well before the uppers were showing any wear. I am also disappointed that, whenever I find a style I really like, (e.g., the women's white 624), it is discontinued. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to find women's trainers with a full, smooth leather upper, which I much prefer as, unlike mesh, they're easier to clean. Quality and selection are not as good as they used to be.

Returned these shoes two weeks ago. Felt weak construction and lack of support. I'm still waiting for my refund

The shoes were ordered a half size larger as recommended. I have a problem with right big toe - needed room and I got it. Shoes have a very wide toe box so they were comfy. They are not very attractive due to the large toe box. I did feel at times I was flapping around in clown shoes. If you need a comfy shoe and not worried about the looks, it is fine.

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 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.

I wear a weird size (7 extra-wide) and this was the best I could fine in that size. The shoes I have bought in the past (806) were not available in my size. I hope this is only temporary.

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 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.

It seams that cheaper material was use for this batch. I have bought the 608 cross trainer for a while now
The heal is thinner and the shoe itself seams thinner made. I hope the next one are made like they were before.

I originally bought these to use in rotation for work shoes cause I work on hard compressed concrete floor for 12 hours a day. These are not as cushioned as I thought they would be. They are a very nice, balanced shoe but these are not meant for long day wear.

I am a New Balance fan but....this shoe was uncomfortable. There isn't enough cushion. Will return.

Shoe's excessively rounded toes bumped into my long big toe. Otherwise might have been comfortable. Ordered a different style.

When they say wide it does not really mean wide. Was not wide at all.

I ordered a pair of training shoes that were a half size too small. The return went smooth but I don't want to reorder because I won't receive the original order 10% discount.

For many years this 99 year young woman has worn New Balance 9-1/2 2As walking shoes but my toes came right to the end of these shoes with no wiggle room. I probably could wear a size 10 2A but also need a shoe with more width in the toes but narrow in the heel. Any suggestions?

Gave it a 3 star as I like the sneaker but returned it as, after lacing, it was too wide at top sides and my heel was slipping up and down. Went to NB store & sales rep. scanned my feet and this sneaker did not support my low arch, the sales rep. stated, so went with a different pair.

This is the third time New Balance have stopped making a comfortable, good support, sturdy walking sneaker! So frustrating. This one is OK, but not as sturdy!
