New Balance Men's 608 Wide Width Training Sneaker

I like the shoes for sure, but honestly I thought it wouldn't be so stiff at the top near the ben of your toes. I got the wides, which I should've gotten just the normal width because I forgot that most new balances are naturally wide, I think it fits fine with the width but for some reason it made it longer at the front end of the shoe. The durability is great and I like how well the laces don't randomly become untied. I feel like it could've been better with the arch support like most of their other shoes, but other than that, it's a nice shoe.

I commonly like these shoes. However, the Men’s 608’s I ordered on 9/21 have already started to separate at the seems.

I've bought NB 608 since 2000. This shoe I only wear at Jazzercise. I arrive in my separate shoes and change into my 608's for the most wear. Because of my height and weight I purchased 2 shoes at a time. I'm 6ft 175 lbs I wear a men's 11 2E the best comfort for me. Gina

Disappointed that I had a similar problem to my last purchase. The stitching along the seam in the from once again started to unravel.

I bought these shoes like two months ago and they are the best for working shoes so light and non slip

I have recently needed to change my shoe choices to accomodate my aging body (and feet). I have worn New Balance before with few complaints. This leather 608 is a good value for an everyday shoe, with moderate cushioning, good rear/heel structure and a wide toe box (13/2E). A little heavy, a lot like my old court shoes, and not sure how they woud hold up in cross training, jogging or impact sports, but this shoe is functional, stylish and comfortable for most daily adult wear and tear. I like the sole design and composition, and the moderate heel "drop" (vs super foam on so many shoes now, so you "feel" the ground, aiding balance).

Until now I've always been happy with NB "training" style shoes with a leather upper. After buying the 608's and wearing them for a week I noticed the design and materials feel cheaper than the many previous NB shoes I've had. The leather is thinner. The padding is thinner. For the first time I felt like I needed to "break in" my NB's and my feet hurt while I was doing it. I'm not a big fan of the mesh covered ventilation slots. They let in cold air and water which makes this shoe less worthy for outdoor use. Why cut a hole in a leather upper? DSW is a reliable retailer and delivered ahead of schedule, no problem there, but the shoe itself was disappointing.

I have long, wide, old feet -- hard to fit. I sent two completely different brands back before I got my New Balance shoes. NEW BALANCE TO THE RESCUE!!! These fit so well that taking my dog on 2-mile walks is so pleasant that my feet feel as well when we finish as when we started. The cushioning is quite sufficient for me, and the toe box is wide enough so that the sides of the show don't rub on my feet. The first time I put the shoes on, they were stiff and just Ok. BUT after three walks in them, they limbered up, and I now rate them as the best fitting, most comfortable tennis shoies I have owned -- ever.
