I have been a diehard Nike person but have been dealing with hip pain. Was recommended these shoes and can't believe how much of the day to day pain has gone away.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable. I am a repeat customer. They wear out only because I wear them constantly. I am happy they come in so many color options.

....pulling & pushing pallets of product around had me searching for a nonslip 12w black work shoe - if these ever wear out, I'll be searching for them again, Thx NB!

I have been wearing the 608 style for many years. I am now 80 years old. I just bought this shoe in larger size as usual but I noticed that the 608v5 has a different configuration (pattern)on the bottom than the usual 608 as I bought in the past. I put in an extra pad in the shoe as usual but when I walk in the street I feel like I have small lumps in the bottom of my feet. Very uncomfortable. I will not wear them any longer. Why did they change the bottom. It wasn't broke so why did they change it?

I will have to look for a new brand

I liked the shoes. Especially the 12.5 size extra wide that are hard to find. I was hoping to order another, but you were either out or do not have the right style and size. They were style 608v5 in 12.5 extra wide. Hopefully they are out of stock. I wanted the black and white shoes.o

My old pair of New Balance got worn out so I bought another pair. I originally bought these for just everyday walking but they are so comfortable that I am going to buy another pair for work, I do alot of walking at work.

Quality control seems to be good. I have several pairs and the last two I ordered fit just like the rest.

A friend gave me a pair of 608V4. Most comfortable shoe I ever worn!!! Tried to order on line the exact type, no luck it seems that they don't make them anymore; so i purchased 608v5 thinking its close, this shoe is not comfortable, stiff shoe, cushioning is poor. I work in a hospital and floors will tear your feet up.

This style was recommended by the gentleman who makes my orthotics. They are very supportive of ankle.

I ware these shoes everyday and have been buying them for years. I just bought two pairs of these and the toe box is very narrow and curved, which isn't comfortable on the toes. The two pair I bought before these had a wider and straighter two box and were more comfortable. I've seen the 608 change a lot over the years and it hasn't always been for the better. Please consider the impact that these types of changes can have before moving forward with them.

I have trouble finding comfortable shoes so have tried several pairs this spring. I thought these would work for me but after several attempts I'm sending them back. The foot bed to me in hard and not supportive, the shoes seem too big although this is my usual size. The sole seems stiff and unresponsive.

Left shoe was too small. I order 13 4E from Zappos all the time. Asics have always been true to size both length and width. I have had success twice with New Balance and two failures with New Balance...both times the left shoe was too small.

Asics is my most dependable brand.

These are the only style and brand of shoe, I wear everyday. The 600 series gives me the correct fit to my feet.

I don't run with usual fashion. I prefer to wear leather sneakers because what's "in" are the mesh sneakers that aren't water resistant. If I step in a puddle, my entire foot & sock gets drenched. I know what I like & I stick with it. Thankfully, you still carry some of those options!

Fit and size were perfect. size 16 4E is tough to find. Construction material (leather) is very attractive. Insole is very comfortable. And, they are attractive.

I wear the shoe for everyday errands and walking. It is very supportive and comfortable. My orthotics fit well with NB shoes.
