The bag enclosed a shoe box tattered. I looked on the shoe for the words "Rollbar" I told the customer rep at least 3 times I wanted a shoe with a rollbar. He said he would make sure it was there. The shipped shoe had no rollbar in the shoe. It was futile to try the shoes on, when my order was not as expected. I await my new shoe in the return process.

The exterior synthetic material on these was extremely uncomfortable/thick. I ordered two sizes, received one and had to immediately return it. When the other one arrives that will go back too, sorry but these were very uncomfortable

This particular pair did not fit and, unfortunately need to be returned for an 11.5 wide if in stock. If not available then I will return for a refund

The tongue was putting a lot of pressure on my upper foot/ankle area.

The NB 600 series leather shoes used to be good quality shoes but not anymore. The last 3 pairs I purchased all wore out prematurely in the same areas. The stitching around the front toes always comes apart way before the soles are worn. I won't be buying them anymore.

Shoes felt narrower and smaller than my previous 608 4e. Toe box is is smaller and narrower. Shoes were uncomfortable. These shoes are not the same as my previous three pairs. Disappointed with New Balance.

The manufacturers need to have standards for sizing; Shoes are either too big or too small. My husband is 78 years old and has worn size 101/2 or 11 his entire life. It is impossible to buy shoes without trying them on in the store.

I have been wearing new balance for many years - 813's and they were great. When I looked for them recently I couldn't find them so I ordered another one. I ordered wide which I have always done and when I got them, they were so tight they pinched my toes. I sent them back, very uncomfortable.

I ordered a 13-Wide. These do not fit properly. Even though they're marked as being a size 13, they fit like a size 12.

I bought two pairs of these sneakers save your money if you want an authentic leg brace cannot get them on over the brace

I bought these shoes a little under six months ago and the shoes are now seperated from their bottoms and I can stick my finger right through it

I have a high arch, wear a 6E and have been wearing New Balance for over 20 years. I have a supination problem, not a pronation problem. My current shoes are NB 624 which fit my feet just fine but NB no longer makes. The MX 608 does not come in a 6E. I am looking for a 6E shoe without a roll bar or any internal construction meant to help pronators. I would prefer a neutral shoe. It appears NB no longer makes a shoe that will accommodate my feet.

Sole of sneaker came unglued after two weeks of use. Would not purchase again. Company needs better quality control.

I have worn 608s for more than 10 years. It was and still is a great shoe; straight last, roomy toe, good heel. However, the several shoes I just purchased have "Comfort Insert"s that have all sorts of hard-to-notice-unless-you-pull-the-insert-out texturing and cushioning clumps that mess up the feel of the shoe for the bottom of the foot. For those of you that know this shoe (and most of other shoes I have bought from NB), the insole insert was flat and plain and just fine. I can't wear the shoe with this new insert so what to do? I've looked up NB insoles - there are 16 of them! and they all are close to the cost of a new shoe. A nuisance of time and money. I've reached out to NB but my question has been blown off. Am I the only one put off by this "improvement"?

I bought these for walking but they are very uncomfortable. Not alot of padding and seem to run narrow. If you want sturdy sneakers these are for you!
