I have old white ones with pink of this style. These are just as perfect!

VERY disappointed for New Balance after recommendation from podiatrist friend-size was good but caused horrible blisters on top of my feet.

Great shoe, excellent service, and good price. Have worn NB 608's for years and have nothing negative to say about this product. Will continue to use this shoe as long as they make them.

My husband loves these athletic shoes! He has worn 608s for many years. This is probably his 7th or 8th pair. They hold their comfort and support, he just designates older ones for yard work. So he usually has a new pair, a little used pair and very used pair all going at once. All through the years they maintain their stability for his shaky ankles. This is the first time we have ordered from the New Balance website. I signed up for rewards and this will be our go-to site for his wide foot from now on!

Found these great shoes on a sales rack, my size. Size 8 I wish I could find another pair. I'm pretty picky how my sneakers fit and these were comfortable from the minute I put them on. Wore them all summer, and now looking for another pair. Please consider continuing these stylish and super comfy sneakers!!

These 608's over the years have served me well. Comfortable well padded and light weight, they propelled me many miles without failure. Great cushioned heal and sole. I've actually purchased so many of these shoes over the years enjoying their comfort. Who needs Wingtips anymore? Gave away all the suits too.

I used to wear the 608v4 which was a little heavier shoe. This new version is lighter and just as durable and fits better in my opinion. I like the color logo "N" along with the other color accents. I'm a really big guy so a sturdy well balanced shoe is very important to me. I get great arch support and cushion for comfort. It says these are leather uppers, not sure but they hold up to my big ole body. I like them so much I bought 4 pairs.

Fit great, look good. As old guy, wear them in black, comfortable, and can sneak them in as dress shoes. Very easy to order and quick delivery.

Following up my review from last month. As mentioned, I have worn a version of this sneaker for almost 20 years. I always ordered 81/2 M and they fit perfectly. The last two pair I purchased have been uncomfortable and the length felt short. I wasn't sure what had happen and finally decided to do a side by side comparison with an old pair I started wearing again. See attached picture. The sneaker on the right is the new sneaker and It is clear the sole has been redesigned. This design change makes the sure extremely uncomfortable for me and causes pain in my knees and Achilles Tendons. I can longer wear this style sneaker. I have to say good bye to what was once my "go to" sneaker.

Only the top looks like the original 608. The new sole is different. It is very flat and seems to be made more cheaply. I returned the shoes.

Good fit because of E sizes; Other brands are way too narrow. Quality is first rate, I have used the NB brand for years.

I intend to wear these black shoes to work. They are tighter than my previous pair (same item #). Hope I can stretch them enough to make them comfortable for all day wear.

After looking and looking for a pair of great fitting shoes, I've finally found them in these. Great fit, they look fantastic and they give me support at my job. I'm on my feet all day and walking a lot. I would highly recommend.

New Balance is the only shoe I can order in 10.5 AA that fits me perfectly. I have to remove the insole to allow for my custom orthotics but the support is great!

Fit was *mostly* great, but the fold-point on the top-front of the shoe was too far back, so instead of bending where where my foot does (at the start of my toes) it kept poking into the top of my foot. I hoped it would break in / soften over time, but even after months of intermittent wear (which was all I could manage, or it became too painful) it was still a problem.
