Very comfortable! Need XWide which fit very nicely! Bought the Orca with gunmetal gray - received comments on how sharp they looked

The fit was right with respect to the listed size. I am a little bit disappointed that the white/navy color combination was not available, but that's okay.

I am a woman who needs a wide toe bed and women’s shoes don’t often work for me. So I got this shoe. Nice fit, comfortable, good for walking. But at the moment when I walk they slap down like Bozo shoes. I’m hoping that it does this less so as I break them in. But they look good and feel good. I would buy them again.

Excellent sneaker, what I was looking for in fit and comfort - except, my feet feel hotter than I am used to in hot weather. I attribute that to the leather being used, rather than the breathable fabric my previous sneakers had.

For a basic sneaker, they're fine. I have a very wide foot (4E) so I'm hardly spoiled for choice in footwear. They broke in quickly (one normal day of use). I feel like the foot bed is flatter than other sneakers, and as a result, I get no arch support. To be fair, I do have very high arches, but these feel extra flat to me. I will wear them until they fail in some way, but I'll go back to buying Air Monarch from Nike for my sneakers.

I'm a 3E and had to purchase 4E ... so they're a little loose and wide. But other than that they've been comfortable.

Very good and dependable sneakers that I have ordered before, and I am happy I was able to get them in all black after getting mostly white ones for my last pair. Unfortunately, the first pair of these I ordered were defective (a lace loop just snapped for some reason, but Zappos' customer service sent me a replacement pair that has held up extremely well as I expected.

Fit was fine. First white pair I have ever owned. Silly reason for purchase but they were for a return to physical training.

The size felt a little large due to the extra wide size. The EEEEEE size was awesome since I've never purchased a shoe with that width.

New design with less white and blue laces is much better than prior 608 models. I find arch support inadequate so I replace insoles with a pair of SuperFeet inserts.

a great comfortable sneaker. I will continue to purchase that style again.

Reviewed at New Balance
I wear it as a sturdy, supportive walking shoe. I have worn New Balance for many years and love this brand. However, this particular shoe is cut too high on the sides for me, so my foot is more enclosed than in my prior shoes. The high cut crowds my ankles on the sides. I find my feet get more tired with this particular shoe; so when I come home I want to take these shoes off and put softer shoes on, which is not usual when I am wearing New Balance.
