The left shoe fits perfectly... size 7.5... nice roomy and comfortable. The right shoe fits a bit narrow and my big toe touches the top of the shoe????? same size/same width... ????

Like the shoe. Always quality and style. The navy and black always works for me but the only issue I have is older modes had more of a black toe compared to the newest 608

This is my second pair of this shoe. I wear them everyday for everything, so I am on my feet all day at work and then I wear them for outside of work also. I really don't have any complaints about them.

I love these shoes for walking and mild climbing, it took forever to arrive.

These are the only style and brand of shoe, I wear everyday. The 600 series gives me the correct fit to my feet.

I use this product almost daily to walk and exercise. I like the fact you have shorten the laces to the proper length but still don't like the pull tabs that have a habit of folding in behind your heel. I also feel you have changed the leather from soft leather to a stiffer leather.

Wear them every day. Very comfortable, no slipping on the heel. Feel like I could walk for hours which I actually do on my job. Live my NB shoes. Will be ordering again !

I used to always wear the 608 style in a wide width. I haven't been able to find it until now; the closest I came was the 624 style, which was pretty close if not the same. I recently purchased the 608 as they"appeared' in my search. They would be perfect except the top gaps and bends when I walk (between the toe and the start of the laces). I do not think regular width will correct the problem so I am returning and reordering the 624 style. Other than that they are perfect and for nicely and comfortably.

These are a little stiffer than they used to be. Like they need to be worn in. They are also narrow. I normally wear a 6.5 med but would need a wide in these. They do have great support though.

The New Balance 608v5 are the best fitting sneakers I own. I find them excellent to work out and walk in because the soles are very stable and supportive. Keeps my flat feet from rolling sideways lol.
I'd also recommend:
I only wear New Balance sneakers. They fit me best.

Had to buy shorter shoestrings and replace what the factory sent. Other than that, nice shoes for walking.

I really like the style and design of this shoe. It is very comfortable. However, it feels a bit shorter than my other NB shoe that is the same size (8 2A). So glad I can get the narrow size. My order was processed and shipped quickly.

However my right foot has always felt some discomfort on the right side of my ankle, so I am unable to lace the sneaker up to and including the top most eyelets. This has been the case over many years, no matter which sneaker brand I purchase. Regardless, I love my New Balance sneakers!

The shoes were very comfortable but I couldn't get the right size on Zappos because they were sold out of the size I needed for this shoe.

These shoes are exactly as I expected. Comfortable and stylish. I rarely rate any product with a 10 unless it has miraculous qualities.

The shoes are good, I just wish there were more options. Many of the older shoe designs that I know fit me aren't available.

These are some of the most comfortable, least stylish shoes I have ever worn in my life. However, that isn't what I bought them for. I bought these for shifts as a student nurse where I would be on my feet for 12-16 hours with little rest. My feet felt great after wearing these, little pain or soreness. They didn't really rub but I got a size up since I would be using socks and my feet tend to swell. I also liked the slightly wider base that prevented me from rolling my ankles. If you need a shoe where you will be on your feet all day or you need a shoe that is function over form go for this one.

I wear a 4E and found the mid-portion true to size but the toe box a bit constraining. Perhaps it has been some time since I wore a leather type athletic shoe but I have found this shoe so stiff that it feels a little like wearing a box. I’m hoping they will break in to become more supple. I am into comfort but gladly admit that they are nice looking.

I use these shoes exclusively for in-door dance and aerobics classes. I had a previous pair that I used for years, and these seem just as comfortable and supportive!
