I wear these shoes everyday for work, walking, and working out. They are very comfortable right out of the box. I decided to go a half size smaller this time and so far it was a good decision.

I have been waring the 608's from the first generation came out and have always been satisfied with them and will continue to purchase them.

I've been buying New Balance sneakers for over 30 years. The newest pair becomes my gym sneakers for one year, they then get used for casual wearing, the third year they are used for outdoor chores. Always a very good fit and they hold up with great support.

Easy to get used to. Very much appreciate the wide width. Very supportive when doing stair and hill work.

I have unusual feet, wide and flat. I also have diabetes where my feet hurt in shoes; this felt like I wasn't wearing shoes, close to walking on air.

I ordered on Sunday, had them at my doorstep the following morning. I require 4E for width, and NB delivered as it always has for me. Despite a few negative reviews I saw regarding the leather, it seems and feels fine to me, particularly for a $60 shoe. I use this shoe primarily for long walks, and it felt good right out of the box. I've occasionally purchased other brands for walking shoes, mainly based on color and styling options, but I keep coming back to NB because the fit is always perfect, and they seem to hold up better.

This purchase was due to the excellent durability and quality of the 608 real leather shoes.

I have problem feet and have a terrible time finding shoes that work with my foot brace, flat feet, etc. So I bought this shoe and it's fantastic, comfortable and fits great. I bought another exact pair I love them so much!

I bought my first New Balance 608 V3 shoes size 9 2E 5 or 6 years ago and loved them. Bought a second pair a couple of years ago as I started wearing out my first pair. I even made sure they were the same version (V3). They aren't built quite the same (tighter entry) and have a few minor differences (overly long laces and a very small heel loop) but things I can live with. My original pair is now literally coming apart from extended pair so I thought time to try a third pair. Bad idea. The 608 V5 is nothing like the two V3's. They have a much pointier toe that makes them uncomfortable. They are being returned!

Sorry for the delay but outdoor time has been limited lately. I have been wearing my NB608v5 quit a lot and find that by finding a pair that offers a wide option( 4E). I am getting a perfect fit with a size that is a half to a full size shorter in length that I have been buying to get extra width!
If I could think of something I am not happy with I would add it here but instead I will just say I am I am saving for the next time they go on sale.

However my right foot has always felt some discomfort on the right side of my ankle, so I am unable to lace the sneaker up to and including the top most eyelets. This has been the case over many years, no matter which sneaker brand I purchase. Regardless, I love my New Balance sneakers!

I use these shoes for treadmill walking, general walking, Silver Sneaker workout. Great shoe. It's all I buy; I made the mistake of buy a 411 ONCE.....and that will never happen again. I love, love, 608. Comfortable, true to size, can start walking in them the first day I put them on. No need to break them in.

The shoes were very comfortable but I couldn't get the right size on Zappos because they were sold out of the size I needed for this shoe.

My doctor recommended NB to me and they're all I'll buy. Very easy and I got a model not available in stores.

Bought 3 pair of these shoes in different colors for my husband. He does a lot of walking and has foot problems. He loves these shoes. Says his feet don't hurt when he has them on.
