I'm in my mid sixties with Morton's neuroma. Wanted to get a wider score to accommodate a metatarsal pat and allow the foot need to spread out. So I ordered a half size larger than usual in 2E, rather than regular with. So far, so good. Have a few four to five mile days with less discomfort in the foot. Pretty happy with the results.

I have purchased 5 pairs of shoes to wear to work in the last couple of years, and none proved to be what I needed and wanted. These WX608 women's shoes in wide fit well, are wide enough, and give my feet the support they need for walking/working for 12 hours!

I purchased these for my 76 year old husband before a trip to Italy. He only spent a few hours breaking them in before he left for Italy. He wore them every day on the 10-day trip, walked everywhere, even climbed steps to the top of the Domo in Florence, with no problems whatsoever. He loved them! Would highly recommend.

Bought this pair to replace worn out NB athletic shoes and worn out Nike athletic shoes. Wear these for walking dog, exercising on an elliptical trainer and casual occasions. Previous NB athletic shoes had served me well. Would never buy anything again from Nike, given their making a hero of Colin Kaepernick (sp??), following his refusal to stand for our National Anthem. So far, these new NB sport shoes have proven comfortable. Can't promise to buy NB shoes again, because of being 80 years old and maybe never buying another pair of shoes in my life.

The wide width was perfect for what I needed! Finally, have the all-white sneaker I have been seeking.

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.

About a year and a half ago I purchased a pair of 608s for men and they fit great. I use them for playing pickle ball they were white.
I recently purchased a pair of 608s for every day use the color just for reference was gunmetal. I'm very disappointed. The fit is very sloppy and when I walk they make a Popping sound. I'm a long-time purchaser of new balance sneakers and this is the first time I've been disappointed in a product.

The fit was true to size, and I appreciate the removable inserts because my orthotics slide right in.

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

I've been wearing some variation of New Balance 608s for over 20 years because they're comfortable and because they come in WIDE sizes. It's hard to find athletic shoes in wide sizes. Though I take a little ribbing from my boys with my "geezer shoes" (along with my crew socks), they are true classics. This version is pretty stiff out of the box, and they need a good "break-in" period to loosen up and conform to your feet. Good all-purpose shoes.

Bought these to do cardio at my work gym. They work great on the elliptical, rower, walking laps, and the stationary bike. The fit is comfy and true to my size. Will buy again.

I bought these for my niece who was turning 13. She saw these on your website and decided this is what she wanted for her birthday. She absolutely loves them and was so happy when she opened the box. They fit her perfectly.

I'm on my second pair of apparently discontinued 624s, where my first pair lasted only 4 months where the sole in the toe area separated from the uppers. MX608V5 a lot rides on your build once my second pair of 624 dies, hopeful to get a year and not 4 months. I buy ahead of time as to not get caught in the supply chain issue and NB have been great to me before, that's why I stick with them :)

I needed something with arch support. These shoes have that. They are perfection. I don't know why I waited so long to buy.

I got the same trainers I always get (MX608V5) in the same color. They are $50 cheaper than ones I got a while ago. I thought about changing style or color, but I decided to stay the course. Very comfortable and a good fit (4E width).

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

I'm a nurse on my feet for 12+ hour shifts. Generally a very good sneaker. I have one spot below my great toe that rubs and irritates it. Hopefully once they get worn in a bit it won't bother me anymore.
