I’ve worn this version shoe for years, however these shoes are a tad shorter than my others. Uncomfortable as my toes touch the front. Weird. They changed something.

After first putting them on I felt they were comfortable. The bottoms are firm'ish and feel like they have some sort of gel in them which I thought would help my feet after wearing them for long hours. Unfortunately after 2 weeks of wearing these I cannot stand it anymore. I'm a nurse and stand for long periods of time and I've been having foot and back pain after wearing these to work. Based on the reviews I thought these would be great for me but apparently not.

I thought that since WX608V4 has been discontinued that this model would be the next best thing. It is nothing like the 608V4. I was very disappointed. Not sure where to go to to the same great fit as the 608V4.

Although attractive, this sneaker in person is very clunky and stiff. I purchased 7W because I have a high in-step, the sneakers run at least a half size too big and VERY wide, my foot slipped out as I walked. I was hoping for some good arch support and fair amount of cushion, they are not.

I was so disappointed in the fit of this shoe! The 8.5 was too long and so big, it slipped all over my foot. I exchanged them for an 8, but that pair was so short, my toes hit the end of both shoes. Too bad — it’s nice looking with a trim and sporty profile. Oh, well, I’ll just have to keep looking.

I usually get the 608v4 but it's was discontinued so I tried the new 608. The toe box was too narrow and I was not comfortable with the insoles. The D width was fine in general but not in the area of the toe box. I really miss the 608v4.

the shoe felt very heavy and clunky. I'm a size 9 narrow in regular shoes and generally a 9.5 narrow in running shoes. I order the 9.5, but perhaps the 9 would've been a better fit, still even if they were a little more snug I can't imagine they'd be comfortable. They're going back.

I've only had these sneakers for a short time, they feel worn out and hurt my heal. The narrow width STRETCH out so much, weird. Not worth the cheap price, I'd rather buy better sneakers for more money but last longer.

I have always worn NB because it came in 11N, but these shoes are so short and tight I cannot wear them.

We got these shoes for the spring tennis season for my high schooler. The entire front of the shoes has come apart less than 4 weeks into season. The stitching came completely out. Yes they are lightweight and seem to have a very durable sole but what good is that when the whole toe comes apart like it was made on 5 minute crafts troll channel. I used to swear by new balance. These does are too expensive to have to purchase a new pair every month.

This was supposedly a narrow shoe but it’s not narrow at all. Waste of money

The shoes I received are not 10.5 wide. I have an older pair of that size and these are demonstrably smaller

I have long worn New Balance 624. No longer available so have ordered 608's in two sizes, neither of which fit.

I have been wearing new balance for many years - 813's and they were great. When I looked for them recently I couldn't find them so I ordered another one. I ordered wide which I have always done and when I got them, they were so tight they pinched my toes. I sent them back, very uncomfortable.

I ordered a 13-Wide. These do not fit properly. Even though they're marked as being a size 13, they fit like a size 12.
