But, not so pleased because I wear 608's wide and none available at several local retailers...On line all you have is EEE which I bought, but am not really pleased....I should have returned them, but hoped all would be just fine...not.

I walk daily and have a job where I am up and down constantly. The NB 608's are my FAVORITE!!! The Store in South Windsor CT tried to sell me a different shoe after stepping on that machine. My heel slipped out with every step and they tried to sell a tongue pad for that. I walked out and purchased the 608's elsewhere. I just wish there was a bit more pad in the heel area because I'm healing from plantar faciitis and a smidge more padding would be perfect.

I have the same breakfast every day so I was a little disappointed that the 577 was phased out and not available but they're not bad and I'm pretty sure I'll get used to them.

I have one pair for going to town , and one pair for working in the yard, and together I average more than 5 miles a day of walking. The shoes fit my feet very well, and are very comfortable and supportive. My only complaint is that the adhesive used to hold on the front and rear wraps gives out long before the shoes wear out, and once they come lose there's nothing I can do to repair them.

Husband wears them. They are really good shoes for the type of work he does. The only thing is the breaking in period is difficult for someone who is on his feet all day.

This is my 3rd pair of 608s. I expect great wearability - as I have in the past. This pair however is slightly more narrow than in the past but will stretch the little width that is needed.

Found these great shoes on a sales rack, my size. Size 8 I wish I could find another pair. I'm pretty picky how my sneakers fit and these were comfortable from the minute I put them on. Wore them all summer, and now looking for another pair. Please consider continuing these stylish and super comfy sneakers!!

This is the second pair of the 608 version that I have purchased this year. I did so in order to have a “second “ pair. The fit is comfortable, the quality of materials is excellent and the price is very reasonable.

Would give 5 stars, as for comfort, however they seem to break down faster than they did before. I have been wearing this shoe for many years. I have had 2 back surgeries, and Stage 4 throat cancer surgery, and look for comfort, in all products I purchase. Will keep purchasing, just wish I could get more than 8 or 9 months out of the shoe.

The product could use more cushion, but other than that, it's a pretty nice shoe.

I love the 608 for fit and comfort. The only thing that keeps this from being 5 stars is the lack of colors available in suede. In the past, I have purchased suedes in black, blue, and gray. I miss them.

I needed a new pair. My last NB lasted at least 7-8 years. this time I ordered wide width due to swelling of my leg. They fit fine, but still a little tight around the toe area.

They run small. I take a size 13 and ordered a 15 4E - Extra Wide and they fit perfectly. I've tried numerous times to purchase 13 or 14 in size and wide width of many brands only to have them either not be able to even get my foot in them or the toe box was a vise and unwearable. It seems all brands of shoes and sneakers are running very small these days. I'm slightly disappointed in the arch support - hardly any and it's too firm; I expected better, I had a pair of New Balance years ago that were wonderful. I'll probably rip out the inner soles and replace with some purchased arch supports that are more comfortable and cushioned.

I'm happy with this product model so far, but I am still breaking them in. But so far so good!

I use the 608's for cross training only. Had to cut the insole in half & insert my Birkenstock Birko Balance arch supports as there is no "built in arch". I've been wearing the 857 series for years & thought I'd give these a try. I'd read they would be good for those with high arches & supinate. They are quite comfortable but the sole is very light weight & don't have much support.

Just what I expected, a great shoe. The fit is good but is runs a little wide at the heel.

The 608 V5 will be a general wear product but not on a daily basis. Like the 608 V4s, they provide comfort but more important, support. These seem to be a bit wider than the 608 V4 but not so much that my foot moves a lot in the footbed. For daily use, I don't anticipate a problem, but if I were to use these for weight or cross training, it might be different - especially if side loading with lateral bounds and such. The soles are fairly skid resistant on 'normal' surfaces, too!
