I wore them (outside walking) and therefore I can't return them. I don't have the original box because I thought they fit great, until I went for a walk. In about half a mile I could feel the pain in my foot. I would have returned them, but I cannot. I have an older pair of New Balance and they fit fine. So it's not across the board.

I have been purchasing New Balance for years, not sure what has changed? Bought this pair in July 2021, stitching broke out in 6 months, I returned for a free exchange, have had new pair for 2 weeks, same stitching at front on both shoes has failed! Very disappointed, will be returning these too & changing brands.

I've had these for about 6 months. Where the leather is stiched together from pinky toe to front of shoe is separated. Won't recommend these.

This shoe has legit no traction; wet pavement, fresh mopped floors--I was constantly slipping. There is no arch support and an overall lack of support (and this is with a custom orthotic added).

I work standing all day painting and finishing boats. Needed something comfortable on my feet. They are comfortable, but the sole in the front is coming apart.
I'd also recommend:
New Balance has always been my go to for work shoes. Not sure what other brand is better.

Do not buy - sole completed shredded after one week of wear by son. They didn't seem like the typical New Balance quality.

Bought the size I wear in Monarchs. They didn’t fit the same and seemed like they had less cushion.

Unfortunately, I ordered WIDE width, didn't see C or D offered . Was sent D - too wide. Have to return. Had to buy others.

I had to return these because at a size 10 which is my usual size I could not even get my feet in them. They are a size nine at the most, maybe even smaller.
Returned two weeks ago and still waiting to hear about a refund.
Disappointing transaction in two different ways.

I ordered this shoe because the 624 trainer I wanted was not available. The 608v5 had significantly less sole under my foot than the 624, especially the ball of my foot and toes. It also had a ridge that ran across the sole under the ball of my foot. Even in the 10 minutes I wore them the ridge was a problem; it would never work for extended wear. The fit of the shoe was good but the issues with the sole caused me to return them.

I have only bought NB cross training shoes for the last 10 years or so because they had the best arch support but now you've made a shoe without it sorry for me won't be using your product anymore!

I have always used NewBalance for my work shoes. They don't offer the model I used to buy so I tried these. What a joke. No support, very uncomfortable. Won't trust this company again for work shoes.

I wear this product at my job as a restaurant server. I have purchased this shoe for years. I purchased another pair about a month ago. They are terrible. No support or cushioning. They already feel worn out. I am so disappointed in this purchase. I will not purchase a new balance product again. Not worth the money and I paid extra for 2 day shipping.
