I bought these shoes but they were too big and needed to return them. I took them to the store in Wyoming, Mi 2 weeks ago. Bought 2 pairs of shoes (very comfortable) and they reutrned them to NB from the store -- still waiting for my credit for the first purchase.

Generally I use for walki9ng. They were expensive for me so I do not use them everyday. They are a good looking shoe yet they are not very comfortable as far as the insole and lack in sturdy stability from side to side

Overall, I liked the sneaker for walking around the neighborhood, however I feel it does not have enough cushion for a treadmill workout.

I only wish these shoes came in 13 Narrow, women's size. Instead, I have to order men's size 11.5 and they are always too wide.

They are a great shoe from New Balance and should last a long time as other shoes of this brand have.

These are decent shoes for the price. The size was true (I wear an 11). The laces are very long, but seem to stay tied without having to add the "baby knot" to the bow. I would buy them again.

got these in size 8 (given that the new balance 574 fit me perfectly in size 8). At first fit I thought that I should've gotten the 8.5. the material (leather?) is certainly stiffer than that of the 574 so the first 2 days were spent breaking them in, and they are much more comfortable now, though still a little small, so if you fluctuate a .5 between sizes you may want to go for the bigger option. The support is great but not like walking on a cloud (probably for the better). It's a heavy shoe for heavy work and you may feel that heaviness for a bit if your exercise is closer to running. I also had to relace the shoes to give my feet more space.

I have gone through three pairs of 624s... But apparently they are no longer available.... Hopes are high that these 608s will do as well or better. White color and not too bold logo or decorations is what I want in addition to all day comfort.... So far so good...

The 608v5 shoe seemed to be undersize by about a 1/2 a shoe size.

New balance is the only shoe I can purchase with style due to wide feet . I use them for everything from work to walking to working out .

Sneakers are comfortable. The availability of wide widths makes a big difference.

I bought this shoe for cross training purposes. To use for Zumba and pickle ball. I am used to the running shoe fresh foam x1080's so this was a different purchase for me. I found that the 680 wasn't as cushy as the 1080 but I guess that is to be expected. So far they are working out fine. The width doesn't feel quite as wide as the 1080's.

I shoes are nice, but this pair that I just purchased fit a little snug. I like the color of the shoes. They have a nice design .

I use these primarily for my morning walks and stair exercises. Sometimes I'll wear them all day just because.

Had my doubts about ordering online. But they were perfect! Would like to see more heel padding on the insole, small issue. Great brand, always get NewBalance never disappointed!!!

These were a big surprise how comfortable they were out of the box.
I bought these to work the bases in softball. Purchased the same size as my plate shoes. Sizing was consistent.

I ordered this pair of shoes for my son. He is 6'4" tall, and weighs in at a hefty 290 lbs. He is a power lifter, and wrestler. It is hard to find a comfortable pair of shoes for this gentle giant. He absolutely loved them! We will be ordering more when he is ready for a new pair of shoes.

I bought this NB because I wanted a leather outer for daily walks. This shoe is cushy but solid and a reasonable price point. The heel and ankle feel tight and secure. I also like the two tabbed laces across the arch for easier tightening and less lace slip. However, the toe box goes very wide at the bottom two laces and then a long wide toe box without an additional lace slot. On my foot, it means i can't tighten up the toe box which make me feel less secure. If i pull the bottom two laces tight then it pinches me at the lower arch instead of the ball of my foot or lower.
