Well made, fitting and comfortable shoe. I'm 6'8, 375lb guy with size 14 shoe so finding a shoe that can "put up to my abuse" are few and far between. Well let me tell you, these are great shoes that go above and beyond what I have seen in other "high end" shoes.

This is not my first time buying.I have a condition of fascitis plantar and i see how the shoes doesnt fit well and how they look at your third usage.They break lose stability of course by the material of no quality.This shoes for my kids 608 v5 black you can see the imperfections and damages everywhere.Also the no slip tecnhnology doesnt function.I think they took the good materials for the ones that sells by US made.its not fair.And i feel that is strategic of all fabricants because A ..cs equal.

Jury is still out, sole us softer than I like, but you don't have the 624 available right now, and can't afford the 840 GPS. I may return them???

After knee replacement surgery and delayed healing, my physician suggested I throw away my dress shoes (high heels) and purchase my New Balance. Your Customer Service Representative to exceptional interest in my problem and suggested this item. Considering my specific needs, he steered me to this particular model SPOT ON! After a couple of days, I was able to appreciate the benefit of my New Balance. I can now walk with no pain. Amazing!!!! Thank you for such a quality product and staff.

The delivery exclusions proved to be problematic for the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. These shoes were ordered for an inmate currently housed by them. According to their guidelines, I used the correct sku # but failed to select the all white version. Since the shipped version had the New Balance "N" in blue, the delivery to the inmate was denied. His only option was to donate them to a nearby high school. Going back to the web site, I did indeed see an all white option. Unfortunately, the correct size is out of stock. Couple this problem with the fact that a pair of shoes were paid for but unable to be received by the intended party was a costly error.

So far, I am satisfied with these shoes, but the bottom soles of my last two pairs of shoes came off well before the uppers were showing any wear. I am also disappointed that, whenever I find a style I really like, (e.g., the women's white 624), it is discontinued. It is also becoming increasingly difficult to find women's trainers with a full, smooth leather upper, which I much prefer as, unlike mesh, they're easier to clean. Quality and selection are not as good as they used to be.

Very comfortable, I'm on my feet 8 hours a day and these shoes really help me keep going. Fit is very good. I buy these shoes at least twice a year.

Usually wear 928's. The last few pairs didn't feel right so I got these 608's. Very comfortable on the short walks I've take so far.

I haven't had a pair of these in a few years. My new pair is working great for my indoor martial arts training.

My brother said that the sneakers are comfortable and it was a good bye he wore them for the first time and his feet didn't hurt.

I am hard on shoes because I am very active and also overweight. I have owned 4 pairs of Nike Monarchs, all of which started to come apart after 6 to 8 months. I have had these New Balance 608 shoes for about 13 months and they are in great shape. There is no separation of the upper to the lower, and the toe box is completely as new. There is no question that these are much better made than Nike. I will buy these again.

My husband wears a 15 EEEE. It is difficult to find shoes in his size. He likes the comfort of New Balance. He has been wearing them for years

I purchased these shoes for my brother who is incarcerated. This was his first time wearing this brand of shoes. He is absolutely 100% thrilled with the comfort of this shoe.

Just wondering if these shoes run a little bigger than some other shoes? I ordered 61/2 men for my son as that is his size but they are definitely longer than that. I do need to order him a smaller size. He loves the shoes. By far it is the only wide enough and deep enough shoe to fit his foot and all the extra braces he has in it and be comfortable. This will be my go to shoes for him from now on. Wonder if they come in different colors?

I walk over 5 miles every day. The left shoe had a high spot under the ball of my foot. Both shoes had a small rise in the area between the toes and the ball of the foot, but the left was noticeably higher to the touch and very uncomfortable to walk on. I tried to print a return label but was told to call customer service. There was a long wait, so I took the shoes to the Schaumburg, IL store. I couldn't exchange them but they printed a label and said I would get my refund when the shoes arrived at the warehouse. I seldom buy shoes on-line. This was much more hassle than if I just went to a store. I called Customer service seeing a discount on my next purchase. They refused. I have bought New Balance shoes since the 1990s and have trained for and run in four marathons wearing New Balance shoe. I'm through. I will never buy NB again.
