Very happy with the MX608v5. I wear 11 EE and these fit perfectly. Very comfortable. I walk alot and usually go through a pair of sneakers in about a year. We'll see how they last.

I have had flat feet all my life. It can be very painful. I have always had to add arch supports in my shoes because they are not built with support under the arches. But when I tried my first pair of New Balance shoes I was really happy that someone finally built a quality shoe that I could wear all day without added arch supports. Thanks for a great product. I have purchased three pairs of NB's in the last year and highly recommend them for anyone who is needing good and comfortable support.

I'm glad to have found a New Balance walker with a pull loop at the back it saves a lot of work if you'd taken them off while they were tied relatively tight.
I do wish there were a better way to compare models. I come in with "I want a walking shoe from NB that can be casually mistaken for a dress shoe." This gets me several results at a wide range of prices. The differentiators are one or two items changed, omitted, or inserted in a list of features, and most of the features have promotional names instead of descriptions/benefits you can compare.
When I shop New Balance, I generally look for color and style, estimate the mid-price, and take whatever has been marked down from that.

I have worn 608's for several years, numerous pair. It doesn't feel like the heel comes up as high and is as supportive as earlier models.

Making the midlife transition from Mustangs to Corvettes wasn't easy. All I've ever owned, built, and raced has been a whole fleet of Mustangs. But as I reached that midlife point, I realized it was time for a change. Time for an upgrade. Time for a CORVETTE. So I picked one up this year. It's been a great car! However, buying a Chevrolet brought sharp criticism from my Mustang friends, so now I can only hope to fit in with the Corvette crowd. Unfortunately, my black Adidas were shunned by the Corvette community. I was the black sheep of the Cars & Coffee meet. I knew what I had to do. I drove straight to the New Balance store and bought a pair of bright white NB608v5s! (also known as Grillmaster 7s in the Corvette community) Now I'm practically a celebrity at the Corvette shows. My V5s are the envy of the show because most of those guys are still rocking the V4s. And the best part of all is that THESE SHOES ARE ACTUALLY COMFORTABLE! I think I'm in love with New Balance! Thank you for making such comfortable and stylish shoes. I am now one of the cool kids, thanks to NB!

I bought these shoes for my dad. He instantly loved these shoes. Even without a break-in period he thought these shoes were very comfortable. He usually complains that shoes are not wide enough for his feet; this has not been an issue with this shoe.

I am impressed with the communication between new balance and my request. Finding shoes for my son's giant foot with a decent style besides just black or just white in mostly leather isn't easy. So thank you for helping with still making a teenager feel in style even though he wears a size 17 wide.

These shoes feel great on my feet, and look good, too. They feel built to last. Hopefully, that will be the case.
I paid full price for them 10 days ago, and now see that they are on sale for 25% off. Hoping Zappos! will consider crediting the difference...especially since they emailed me asking to review these shoes!

The 608 fit as advertised. I suffered from toe cramps with my previous shoes. With the wide toe box on the 608, I am not experiencing cramps.

Good 4E fit and long wear. Use as a work shoe when they get well worn - hold up very well.
