Comfy, wide toe box, suede material is great, the cushion is the best

It's an okay shoe. Billed as a cross trainer. It doesn't have enough support for that. Even with my prescription insoles. The laces are much too long for the shoe, and must be double-tied. Even then they are too long. These are my first NB in a few years, and I think the quality has diminished.

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.

I have always purchased the 608 style and the brand it is
a great comfortable sneaker. I will continue to purchase that style again.
