Use these every other day alternate between my 990 and these. Only wish the laces were shorter bought 36" which work fine.

If you are looking for that sneaker your Dad always wore, look no further. I always get comments when I wear these out, "oh wow, are you a Dad?" (I am), and "my dad and/or grandpa always wore chunk white new balances like those!", "your dad and/or grandpa must be pretty cool" I respond.

I've been buying the 608s since they were available. They are well built and give very good support, It is hard to find a shoe in a 12 wide, especially under $100. Very pleased!

These are excellent general purpose sneakers. I order a new pair of 608's every year or so as I trash them working in the yard.

The 608 shoe has been my favorite style for walking and moving up to the v5 from the v4 didn't require any adjustment. I'm good to go for many more miles

I ordered from New Balance online a few weeks ago, and received 2 pair of Athletic Shoes I love. I have narrow feet, and finding shoes that fit comfortably can be challenging. These are perfect

Purchased for my husband who is a hard fit, being extra wide. He always chooses NB and these sneakers worked very well. Much better looking with the black laces; makes the shoes look less "clumpy." Good Job New Balance. Thanks, Zappos for having the right shoes and great service.

The sizing has changed. I've always gotten these in a size 9, and they fit fine. Now my toe is crammed right up against the edge of the shoe. So I'm returning them for a bigger size. The B width is fine; I'm really about a C, so some B width shoes fit, and sometimes I have to get the wide. They are comfortable and durable.

I use these for HIIT workouts, and I love the sole cushion. Great support for plank twists, skaters, and the like. The shoe helps support those awkward missteps in lunges or off-balance movements when I am burned out and just want it to be over. I am confident I won't roll and ankle, so I can think about the workout and not worry about the shoe. The sole is nice and non-abrasive for workouts on carpet in my basement. I usually wear the NB 806 for workouts (great lateral support), but the MX608 gives the support I need for a lot less $$.

If you want a shoe that ranks up there with other super-supportive overpronation shoes with ample toe box, but costs a whole bunch less, try these. You have big-time foot problems with a limited budget? And no, they do not look like orthopedic shoes. They are probably a bit clunky for running shoes, but everyday wear? This is for you. I love 'em.

These shoes are great. A little more arch support would improve them, but all in all they are comfortable.

I was in need of a new pair of sneakers for the summer but require a wide toe-box.For this reason I've worn New Balance ,Wide for many years. When I saw these being offered by Bean at a very good price I ordered a pair in Wide and an extra 1/2 size above my normal shoe size. I was very happy with these sneakers as soon as I wore them.They fit well,the white leather gives them a classy look and,best of all,they are very comfortable.

Always pleased with New balance shoes. Have worn them for many years. Always look for Bargains, or sales on the 608's. They are my favorites of all the New Balance styles. Zappos shipping is just wonderful, faster than going to the store.??

Closer to the original toe box - I have worn basically the same shoe for years until they changed the toe box about 4-5 years ago and it was no longer comfortable - pressing on my right small toe. These seem to be back to the original toe box design. The only ding in the comfort rating is that the insole is decent but not great. It can be pulled out though and replaced with a custom insert if you have one.
The heel cushioning has broken down inside one of the shoes pre-maturely which was a surprise to me having owned similar for years and that I wear the Dunham dress shoe brand of New Balance every day.
I just called Zappos and they are sending out a replacement pair - far more than I expected. Thanks for great customer service!!!!

I wear an 18 4E and not an easy shoe to find , but these were the best feeling shoe I have had on my feet in years. Would recommend this style to anyone not as boxey as most shoe my size so I don't have to look like I have Herman Munster feet. The feel, fit, and style are amazing I give them a 4.5 stars.
