I pouches these shoes two pair one white one black just to receive the worse made product ever. I have worn New Balance for 40 year imported shoes will be the dearth of this once well made shoe company. both shoes are the same size, yet there not. sole on one shoe is narrower then the other. I can barley walk by the end of the day. the other pair just move freely and have worn out within three month's. I just ordered shoes from a replacement company that still makes there shoe in the US. SORRY New Balance but you should be apologizing to me for sailing sucha low quality product to me.

There was a extra material in the soul which was irritating. Also heel slipped. Returned.
Always been happy with New Balance. Very disappointed

Bought these to replace my old NB 992's. They were size 14, but these were significantly shorter. Guess I need to go to a size 15.

I've worn this model of shoe since 2014 with great satisfaction. I walk many miles and have always been impressed with the quality of the shoe, since I still, on occasion, wear the first pair I ever purchased. Last June however, I purchased my third pair and was very disappointed. By October the soles had separated from the uppers on both shoes. I bought the shoes at a New Balance Outlet Store in Las Vegas which makes me wonder if outlet stores sell "seconds", or shoes that don't pass the factory inspector, or did I just get a bad pair of shoes?

I have always used New Balance. This pair that I got the right foot seems loose. The left fits fine. Not sure why this is. I wear them for work so I am on my feet a lot.

I wore these at church for a half hour before my arches began to hurt...a lot. I made it through the service (and the trip home) then I put away these and will NOT wear them again again without adding arch supports. My old New Balance walking shoes are on my feet now....they cost twice as much but at least I am not IN PAIN.

Way too tight, especially across the widest part of both feet, the ball area. I have unlaced both and my feet are being squeezed across the balls of my feet. must return!

Very disappointed in these. Not as comfortable as past shoes, and seems very cheap quality. Ran short. And incredibly, has a pointed toe! Returning. Awful

This was the third Model 608 men's sneaker I have bought. The first two were really good. The third one, which I have returned, was very disappointing. The soles were lumpy, and there was a pressure point in the right inner upper. Uncomfortable for a fellow on his feet all day at work.

These shoes are heavy and I don't like thicker heel. I couldn't buy my regular style, due to out of stock. This has caused me to have lower back pain, now I'm in physical therapy. I play a lot of Pickleball and these shoes weren't comfortable. I've already worn them 2x and I cant return.

These are the most painful shoes I have ever worn. Tried this because I good not find 411s in my size and color. After trying to break them in, they almost feel like I have the shoes on the wrong foot.
I may need to leave the brand after decades.

I just got away from these horrible New Balance 608v5 sneakers. These things are godawful - crushing my toes, terrible fit.
Like many people, my feet are slightly different sizes. No matter if I went up a half size or down a half size in these, they never, EVER fit well. One foot would always be slipping out of the shoe, while the other shoe would be crushing my other foot.
I have fallen arches which have led to wide feet. I was buying the NBs in a wide size, and they were still crushing my pinky toe. Because of my fallen arches, I use orthotics to support my arches, so I really can't comment on the arch support. But these are the worst sneakers I have ever worn. EVER!!!
The only nice thing I'll say about them is that they look good - they have the nice leather look to the uppers, the way (I think) a sneaker should.
Stay away from these!

I cannot wear this product as the toe box is too narrow having just purchased the 840 in 10.5 D width which has a rounded toe. The 608 in 10.5 D width was too narrow in the forefoot which aggravated my Posterior Tibialis Tendonopathy. I will return to the Asst Store Mgr of NB Brandywine in DE along with the defective 715 trainers. The two (2) pair he recommended were not in stock nor was their availability published.

I do a lot of walking and my last pair of New Balance 608 got a hole in the top mesh part so I ordered the above pair and have developed a blister on my toe. I wish I could return them as they are not comfortable but I have already worn them outside hoping they would start to feel better but they haven't.

I have worn these sneakers for many years. I never got a pair with defects in them like this pair. I returned them to a local store, and it remains to be seen if I will buy another pair. I lost the customer coupon I had in this sale/return, and I was unable to get it back for a future use!

If I had not thrown away all the packing and box's I would return these shoes. After wearing them a few hours they made the bottom of my feet burn so badly I had to take them off.

I like the sneakers but my last three pairs of soles started to fall off starting at the toe and my neighbor had the same problem I think they have to buy better glue.

I ordered the same size always wear but they too short. Also the width across the ball of the foot, right foot shoe was visibly wider than the left.
Poor quality, poorly made shoes.
