There are few brands of athletic or sneakers that make wide widths for men. That's why I always purchase new balance shoes. I use them for working in the yard and when I fly my balloon. They had good traction especially helpful when walking in the desert southwest.

I recently purchased a pair of 608's. The fit is fine and the delivery was timely.

The deliberately corrugated / uneven insole is unfortunate but can be tossed and replaced if necessary.

But, not so pleased because I wear 608's wide and none available at several local retailers...On line all you have is EEE which I bought, but am not really pleased....I should have returned them, but hoped all would be just fine...not.

I walk daily and have a job where I am up and down constantly. The NB 608's are my FAVORITE!!! The Store in South Windsor CT tried to sell me a different shoe after stepping on that machine. My heel slipped out with every step and they tried to sell a tongue pad for that. I walked out and purchased the 608's elsewhere. I just wish there was a bit more pad in the heel area because I'm healing from plantar faciitis and a smidge more padding would be perfect.

I have the same breakfast every day so I was a little disappointed that the 577 was phased out and not available but they're not bad and I'm pretty sure I'll get used to them.

I have one pair for going to town , and one pair for working in the yard, and together I average more than 5 miles a day of walking. The shoes fit my feet very well, and are very comfortable and supportive. My only complaint is that the adhesive used to hold on the front and rear wraps gives out long before the shoes wear out, and once they come lose there's nothing I can do to repair them.

Husband wears them. They are really good shoes for the type of work he does. The only thing is the breaking in period is difficult for someone who is on his feet all day.

It felt smaller than what I currently have in a similar shoe. It may be stretch. Holding on to them until I need to replace my older ones.

Found these great shoes on a sales rack, my size. Size 8 I wish I could find another pair. I'm pretty picky how my sneakers fit and these were comfortable from the minute I put them on. Wore them all summer, and now looking for another pair. Please consider continuing these stylish and super comfy sneakers!!

Would give 5 stars, as for comfort, however they seem to break down faster than they did before. I have been wearing this shoe for many years. I have had 2 back surgeries, and Stage 4 throat cancer surgery, and look for comfort, in all products I purchase. Will keep purchasing, just wish I could get more than 8 or 9 months out of the shoe.

The product could use more cushion, but other than that, it's a pretty nice shoe.

normally take a size 14 EEEEE, ordered that size & it was too small. Traded for a 15 EEEE, the length is perfect, they could be a little wider but they will stretch out a little. Just proves the are making them smaller to save a few bucks. It's the manufacturer, not the retailer. Found this to be true with Sketchers brand also.

Still need some time to form an opinion on these. I have custom orthotics & am currently using them without the cushion insoles that come with the shoes. All good so far!

I love the 608 for fit and comfort. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the lack of colors available in suede. In the past, I have purchased suedes in black, blue, and gray. I miss them.
