I have a wide foot. I have been wearing the 608's for years and love them! Best of all, they solved my only complaint. The old sole of the 608 used to squeak terribly when wet. Drove me crazy. The new sole on this year's model doesn't squeak much at all. Thank you, thank you!

Very good wearing shoe. A couple of years ago, I got a pair that didn't feel as though they had the support I was used to. I bought 2 pair this time, one for good and one for work. One of the pair again does not feel as supportive as the other, and my body feels it. I'm not sure what is going on, have they redesigned the shoe and it's not as expected, or did I just get a dud . . .

My orthotic fits into it perfectly. I purchased a very similar NB product previously. I just needed another color.

Length off shoe perfect. Heel width perfect. Toe width very narrow and too tight for comfort.

Got these for work in a restaurant because of the non slip. They are better than sneakers or gym shoes or whatever they call them where you live, but not great at all if I walk past the dishwasher's wet floor. Also the "vent" area tends to run against the top of my for near the pinky toe and gets really uncomfortable by end of shift. Neither issue enough to return the shoes, but was hoping for something better given the price. Will look elsewhere when it's time for a new pair.

I have bought this shoe for my son every year for years. The V number does change occasionally but they've never been terribly different from each other. This time the shoe was not leather!! What a disappointment as the fit has always been, and still is, good. I suppose I should have read the description more carefully but didn't because the I've bought this model for years. Shoes are not leather this time.

I bought my 608's on August 11, 2019 and today is September 23, 2019. They have already worn away on the inside wall by the heal. I don't get it. They're just about six weeks old. Too bad, now I have to be honest and tell other consumers about poor of quality of the shoe. I've always wore New Balance for decades. They were my "Go To shoe " but not any more. :(

I order the 608V5 in Black size 9 2E. Upon the first lace up, one lace loop on the right shoe pulled out immediately. I returned the shoes. New Balance: PLEASE bring back the 608V4 mid height, one of your BEST all around designs.

I bought these shoes for my brother. He has been wearing New Balance, so I ordered 10.5 wide. He says they are "too big". Go figure...

I have been buying New Balance sneakers for years. The 608 series fits me well. With fewer local stores in the area the ability to buy on line and get the size you need is very convenient.

Perfect for my high instep, flat arches , and bunions. So great to get a shoe wide enough especially with socks.

I've worn this shoe before. I wear it for coaching football. The leather shoe is good for dewy grass, and is dryer and warmer in winter, This pair is not as comfortable. The stitching under the insole is rough and has caused me discomfort.

This is the 5th pair of these shoes that I have purchased. They provide great support if your feet over pronate.

I have problem with my knees and I wear these everyday. They are great supportive shoes. I have tried other shoes and these are the best for me. I have flat feet and need a wider shoe. These are perfect.
