I put these shoes to work as they are the only shoes that help with my back issues. Comfortable!

The minute I stepped into these shoes, I knew I made the right choice. These shoes were so comfortable right out of the box.

I have worn this shoe for several years. I have worked on concrete flooring and am on my feet all day. The support of these shoes is outstanding, when I wear a pair out I go get another pair just like them. The price has always been great and this is a great valve for the money spent.

I walk for exercise, six to seven miles every morning, these shoes are comfortable, but still support my feet. I usually wear them out from the inside, but that is with all my shoes.

I ordered a size 11 with 4E. Zappos sent me a size 11 with 2E model 608. That's OK everybody makes mistakes.
I was hoping to get a NB model 609. I need these sneakers. Please hurry.
I'd also recommend:
Brands with extra width.

This shoe is so comfortable and wearable I have used it for many years. I don't have to try it on. I just buy it knowing everything will be perfect. It is true about the two pairs I just bought.

The 608 V5 will be a general wear product but not on a daily basis. Like the 608 V4s, they provide comfort but more important, support. These seem to be a bit wider than the 608 V4 but not so much that my foot moves a lot in the footbed. For daily use, I don't anticipate a problem, but if I were to use these for weight or cross training, it might be different - especially if side loading with lateral bounds and such. The soles are fairly skid resistant on 'normal' surfaces, too!

I don't know how many years we have been getting our shoes from Zappos, but it has been a long, long time, if I said 20 years I might be short a few years. During that time I have always wore New Balance, because they have always felts good. Before I retired I worked in a Furniture Store so I was on my feet a lot, and on concrete floors, and I never had any trouble with my feet. New Balance is the only shoe for me. Mel Krieger

I wear these everywhere. They fit perfectly! 10D fits so much better than the 11B or any men's version that you be tried. Thank you so much!!!

I have been wearing a version of this sneaker for 20 years and always bought 81/2 D (med) and they have fit great. The last two pairs I purchased seem to be too short compared to the old 8 1/2Ds. Not sure If there is quality problem with manufacturing. The label on all pairs say they were made in Indonesia, but the newer pairs don't fit the same. I never really experienced "break in" issues with these sneaker in the past, with respect to sizing. When new, the sneakers are a bit stiff, but comfortable. The two newer pairs rub on my toes and are tight across the top of my foot. I lace my sneaker the same way, but something is different. I will "order up" 1/2 a size next time and try a 9 D. Maybe my feet are getting bigger with age, but my dress shoe size hasn't changed. I still think New Balance are great shoes, if the fit is correct.

I have worn New Balance shoes for over 20 years and have always been thankful for their quality and durability. 608's have been my go to all around exercising and casual shoe for at least 10 years. I must say I am disappointed in the new sole construction and before that it's comfort. The heals on both shoes have come debonded after only 4 months of use. This has never happened before going to the non slip sole. From the beginning with this new sole I was not happy with the way it felt while exercising.

Solid, quality construction. I selected New Balance because of the different width sizes they offer. I can get the right fit for my foot.

Only athletic shoe I can wear comfortably due to width. Great looking and is good as a trainer. I own 3 at all times!
