  • Possibly the most comfortable walking shoes there is at this price range.
Size: 13 X-Wide Color: White/Navy
I've been importing the NB 608 for years. Here in Egypt shoe stores don't offer wide and extra wide variants in any brand, I tried these years ago and since then I don't feel the need to try any other. All shoes have a short life span if you use them extensively, and my case one pair lasts about a year in good condition until it starts to age poorly and falls apart. To me that's normal for this price range, I just keep buying new ones. The weakest area on this model is the mesh part on the sides near my bunions, the stitching seems to fall apart quick, then the mesh starts tearing. The cutout seems to help with flexibility and comfort, but I hope they either ditch it or use a sturdier type of mesh in future upgrades. I also believe that using a damp cloth to clean it up speeds up the wear of the leather. All in all... I enjoyed v4 and I'm enjoying v5 maybe even more with the flatter midsole. Look for discounts throughout the year and stock up on these babies, they're comfortable, stylish and the extra width is definitely its best feature New Balance offers. ... show more

  • I use these shoes for racquetball and they're pretty good
Size: 9 X-Wide Color: White/White
Bought these shoes specifically for use during racquetball. This is the second pair that I've bought. It's just super hard to find good athletic shoes for playing racquetball. For the price, they're hard to beat. I play raquetball two days a week, and for 2 hours each day, so I put these shoes through their paces and got about 1.5 years out of them. I'm actually surprised they lasted as long as they did. Their grip on the polished hardwood floor is great and with all the side-side movement I never injured an ankle. Regarding the comfort and sizing. I wear a size 9.5 EEE so it's always nice to find a good shoe with the correct width. These shoes fit that 9.5 EEE perfectly. Not too big or short, and just the right width. It does take about 3-4 weeks of racquetball to break them in, though. Until then they aren't quite as comfortable on the court and my feet are a little sore at the end of the matches. Highly recommend these shoes. ... show more

  • New Balance are the best!
Size: 12.5 Wide Color: Pigment/Gunmetal/Silver Metallic
I wear a size 12.5 wide which is very difficult to find especially in New Balance. NB is, IMHO, still the most comfortable shoes that fit right out of the box, that are on the market today. I have tried and worn many different brands of shoes and none have come close to fitting like these. Before I found how well NB fit I would try on shoes in stores and all seems well but upon getting home and wearing them a month or two, I usually end up having to donate them. Now I can order online just about any style of NB and know I’ll get the shoes that fit and look good. It’s nice buying shoes that I only have to replace because of wear and tear! ... show more

  • comfortable from the get go
Size: 12 Wide Color: Team Away Grey/Castlerock
I have had many pairs of New Balance so maybe my standards are higher for these. I am a "wide" in many shoes and I have both std width (used for gym only) and now wide (for walking) NB shoes. The std is a little snug while the wide were comfortable with no break-in necessary, but the one very minor, vanity driven comment is that wide "look" bigger. There nat be more padding at the ankle, which is good o prevent chafing, and the soul is wider to distribute my weight, which is also good, but because these are a bigger than my other shoes, my eyes exaggerates what my wife's eyes do not see. Oh, forget I mentioned that... New Balance is a great shoe. I do not regret any that I have purchased over four decades. ... show more

  • NB's have always been know as the go-to brand for people with wide feet.
Size: 10 X-Wide Color: Black/White
I am handicapped and have a wide foot. I get special medical wraps on my feet/legs that are changed anywhere from 1 to 3 times a week. There are anywhere from 4 to 5 wraps around the foot/leg making it near impossible to get a shoe on. I usually wear a large. Because of the wraps, I ordered an XL size and when I put them on for the first time, I loosen the laces. get the shoe on my foot. Then I tie them loosely. Now I can use them as a slip-on that hugs and holds my foot in place with no issues. ®Buckwheat - Nothing is impossible. Some things just require a bit of extra thought. ... show more

  • Put together right
Size: 10 Wide Color: White/Navy
Great shoe, definitely durable. I have had New Balance before, but not in the last couple of years. I never ordered shoes online until this pair. 608 V5 were a perfect fit. I just looked at my old shoes that were not NB and ordered that size. I generally take days of research and hours in the store to pick a pair that I think will work for me. Not a cheap shoe, not too expensive either, but 100% worth the extra you will pay for 2 pair of cheaps that fall apart in a few weeks or a month. The leather uppers didn't crinkle, like the cheap vinyl ones do. Clean up real nice. The sides take hot concrete well. I walk .9 to and from work every day. This shoe keeps me walking and it doesn't feel like my ankles have been crushed. I work retail so in addition to walking to/from work I'm on concrete all day. Sometimes I'm in the cooler/dairy, sometimes I'm outside bringing carts in. I could be anywhere on any given day and my feet need to keep up. This shoe can absorb the shots. Looks good, feels good. I got the white w/navy N. Will buy white w/black N next. I might not ever trust another shoe to perform like this one has so far. ... show more

  • Go to work shoe
Size: 10.5 Color: Black/Black
For my line of work being on my feet all day as a delivery driver these shoes are the best for comfort and support. The plus side is they are solid black and the leather can be polished which is required for my dress code. These are a much better alterative than the other black work shoes out on the market. Comfort is a must in my line of work. ... show more

  • New Balance 608 Cross Trainer
Size: 9.5 Color: White/Navy
The New Balance 608 Cross Trainer is my favorite tennis shoe. It is the only shoe that fits me perfect and feels comfortable. New Balance keeps tinkering and changing the version, but they have all been good. Only problem is finding my size. The soles do tend to come unglued over time, but Shoe Goo will fix. Still a great shoe for the price. ... show more
