I work on my feet all day, and I wanted a shoe that would be comfortable without looking inappropriate in the workplace. So far the shoe has held up very well, although there was an initial breaking-in period. The black color is perfect for an office environment. The non-slip soles are a plus, although it is too soon to say how well they work. Best feature is the price -- I tried several other models in the USD90+ range and these fit my feet much better (although that is a matter of personal preference). This will probably be my go-to shoe in the future.

My first pair of cross trainers. With the strong floor grip. Makes doing strength training much safer and easier. Same for free stretching work.

The latest version of the MX608v5 in 9-4W is not a good one for me. The thicker insole contributes to making the shoe seem much smaller than v4 and even without the insole the shoe feels more narrow than prior versions of the same shoe. The toebox also seems smaller and the material used for the upper portion of the shoe appears to be a downgrade. Too bad a later version does not always mean an improvement .

These are the shoes my husband has been using for years. He has foot issues and these are the only ones that support his foot correctly.

My bro loved the style and comfort of the shoe. He has wide feet so we buy mostly NB and this one did not disappoint.

The hub says they are a solid walking shoe and he'll get some good use out of them. He pronates horridly but the shoe has a solid outside wall that doesn't completely collapse under his fallen arches.

This is my third pair. The oldest is now my dirty job yard pair. The older is my everyday pair. The new ones are now my "dress" pair. My son wears the same 608v6 shoes. My son and I both wear the 4E Width. Hard to find in other brands.

I like the fit on New Balance shoes better than the other tennis shoes on the market. Price is good and quality is good. Only brand I buy.

I have been wearing NB sneakers for many years.
I find the 608 Series to be the best fit for me.
I walk very heavy on the outer half of my feet. So I buy the NB 608v5 series and use the Dr. Scholls #340 inner sole to ease the pressure on my feet.
I have tried several other models, but always come back to the 608.

They fit well but they need to stretch just a little. My small toe gets pinched by the end of the day

Purchased for walking just proir to Christmas direct from New Balance - as a long-time user I have found the newer iterations of some shoes to be smaller in width than the older types, and this shoe is no exception. I will need to break this in slowly and see if it ends up being a better fit width-wise than it is now, and since the difference is small that may happen. Until then the jury is still out on this shoe. I am a retired nurse and have worn NB shoes virtually to the exclusion of all other brands for more than 15 years - sad to say the NB company seems to be following so many others by trying to see how cheaply they can make every product as they change managers who want to make a name for themselves by cost cutting. The result, in too many cases, is that at some point the item no longer is the same as it once was due to so many cost cuts and cut corners, and the buying public moves on to another brand. But, hey, the whiz kids got their bonuses and promotions.......right? We'll see how this shoe works out, but my review is only one of dozens available showing the same changes in quality to the detriment of the product and the end users. New Balance used to have the lock and key on repeatable widths, but as it now appears that has been relegated to the past. -- Break-in period starts today New Years Day 2020. --- JayD

This is my second pair of these and probably my 50th pair of NB’s in all. I have a lot of tan shorts and black, blue and white patriotic and LE supportive shirts that these match perfectly. At 6’2” and 260, I need support and comfort to carry this truck. They fit and feel awesome as like all my NB’s do. I’ve worn N_ _ k_e, and they just are not made for big and tall, and I wouldn’t patronize a company that supports anything anti American. Do yourself a favor, buy these
