I have been wearing NB shoes for the last 10 years. These are the first that are actually uncomfortabledue to their stiffness.

The shoes are great and all I've worn the last 10 plus years. The only problem I had was with UPS . My shoes arrived in my home State Dec 22,2022. But them for unknown reasons UPS sent them to Montana. Eventually my shoes arrived on Dec 30, 2022.

The wide size 6 was a little too big, I have to try the 5.5 size. I would appreiciate being informed of when your reg size 6 are back in stock. They fit me the best & I work in the health care industry.

I bought these in size 14 Wide; unfortunately, they were still too tight! The toe box was the WORST! The big toe pressed tightly against the angle of the toe box. Should've bought 14 Extra Wide.

I asked your CSR for a recommendation for a comparable model to the 624's I've been wearing for years. The 608' are OK, but not nearly as good as the ones I've been used to wearing

The width is tight. I'm hoping it will stretch a bit. It's the first time I ever thought I needed W rather than M. My 608V5 suede pair is extremely comfortable

Could not get MX608 in all white in my 8.5D size. Settled for ones with a few blue markings because I have worn NB sneakers for 20 years because they are comfortable and need no break in time.

I bought a second pair as decided to use pair I have had for six months as more a work shoe for outside. Shortly after receiving new pair which are still in box, the sole on my left shoe has broken apart and glue does not hold. So certainly disappointed in this shoe and now wonder if I should send back the new pair due to poor workmanship.

but I'd feel a lot better about wearing & paying MORE for them if they were made in the USA MFG's need focus on customer satisfaction & "product quality" instead of profit margins.

Even though I ordered Size 10 Extra Wide, I feel they fir smaller than other New Balance shoes, I would order a size larger if I order again.

Really liked the style of this shoe but I could not get it onto my foot, more than 1 full size smaller than anticipated (and I've been buying shoes in Nike in this same size & width for the past 40 years.) Seemed especially narrow. But TBH I'm also experiencing this with other brands--including Nike--is this corporate downsizing products like they do in all the grocery items?? Totally weird experience.

I have purchased this product many times, and now repurchased. The last pair started to fall apart so I purchased a new pair earlier than expected. The black bottom layer separated from the sole and kept getting worse. Ifd the same issue occurs with the new pair I will need to consider a different approach.

I got double wide, and the width mainly goes to the toes and not the centre of the foot. It pinches a bit in the middle making them slightly less comfortable. Besides that I think these shoes are comfortable

I have used this version of your shoe for many years and I am finding some inconsistency in the sizing.

Longtime user of the 608 but something is wrong with the new purchase I made of it. Wears out faster, especially by the balls of the feet. Feel like I did not get my money's worth. Hope they put in more padding to the entire sneaker.

not much padding in them for a walking shoe kind of hurt my feet

This is my forth pair of these type of sneakers. Long lasting and always been very comfortable out of the box until this pair. Not sure why but one sneaker just isn't as comfortable as the other. So I'm disappointed with this pair.

I'm sure these are good shoes, but the toe box was not deep enough to comfortably accommodate my hammertoe. I appreciate your easy return procedure.

Usually this style fits just fine, but the right shoe fits much tighter across the lower laces. Even when I loosen laces, something inside (stitched seam) is putting pressure on the top of my toes and causes pain. No matter how thick or thin socks are, same experience.

I like the style of the shoe however, it’s wasn’t true to size. They felt smaller than average.

I have other 608V and the toe space on this one is narrower by about 1/4 -1/2 inch, which makes a big difference in fit - toe is too narrow
