The New Balance 508 is very comfortable without a "breaking in" period. This shoe is great for walking. I did buy the shoe a half size larger than I usually do because of the stitching across the toe in the front.

I always wear New Balance shoes...they fit better than any others I've tried. I used to wear Nikes and various other brands, but they are made for very narrow feet, which I do not have. I can wear my NB for walking and any other activity I do and my feet feel great, plus casual wear as they look great too. Also I would like to say that I love ordering from Zappos...the fast shipping and courteous service is the best ever!

New Balance 608 - I've worn New Balance shoes for work for 4 years and love the support and fit generally. This is the second time I've had the 608. This shoe needs to be worn for awhile before it is comfortable for me, even though I get the wide width. It feels more like a medium width, so by the end of the day, I'm ready to take them off. The service from Zappos was great!

Hard to find a good fit - I felt that these shoes could have been just a little more snug. The right fits better than the left shoe for some reason, but it could be my hard to fit feet. They are comfortable, but I feel that if they made an 11 1/2, it would fit me much better, but ‘til then… Thanks Zappos for a great company that makes it easy for me to shop for my hard to find size and fit!

Great mid top shoe! A great mid top shoe - especially since they seem to be going extinct these days. I ordered a second pair after the first worked out so well. Great for fitness classes (kickboxing, step aerobics, etc).

Excellent support, extremely comfortable - I've been wearing the WX1007 and this is a great replacement for that shoe. Would have preferred a mesh upper instead of leather. Has good arch support and a roomy toe box.

Comfy - I wear these shoes to Curves and when walking and they are great. Very light and fit my narrow foot wonderfully with adequate arch support. I will definitely order these again.

Disappointed - I've always loved New Balance shoes, but this style is a disappointment. It does not have the arch support of their other styles nor the overall comfort. Orthotics were difficult to wear. They made the top of the shoe hit too low on my foot.

Good athletic shoe for narrow feet... I have a very narrow foot, skinny and bony. I first ordered a 2A in this shoe; too narrow. I then ordered a medium...perfect! I would say this shoe runs narrow. I was surprised to find this 608 model at all, as I was told it had been replaced. This model is the best athletic shoe I have ever owned. Very supportive, and you can add orthotics. Zappos service is phenomenal! Highly recommend the company. Orders and returns are handled swiftly.

Favorite walking shoe - I have been wearing this same shoe for about 8 years now. I panic when I can't find it and am glad Zappos carries it. I have had back surgery twice and walk a lot to strengthen my back and find this shoe to be the most comfortable and most supportive of any I have tried. It holds up well and will even survive several trips through the washing machine when it gets too soiled. I highly recommend it for someone who needs extra support for an active lifestyle.

Very comfortable shoe - These are the only shoes that I can walk on for extended periods of time. They are becoming harder to find out in the stores and I am glad that you have them in stock. They have a perfect fit and there is no breaking in period like some sneakers.

Did not like this particular New Balance sneaker. It is very uncomfortable - the width seems narrower than what it should be - pinching the left side of each foot

New Balance Crosstraining shoes - I noticed that these shoes are somewhat tight, however, they are extremely comfortable.

Old Favorite - When I heard the "608" was being discontinued, I bought a pair, due to the fact I had previously owned a pair that I refused to discard them for probably 5 years! Then tried a different brand...NOT the same! (You get what you pay for!) The sizing was good and arch support was perfect for me. The toes are a bit tight, but that will work itself out. Great shoe & super fast delivery by Zappos!

Takes a while to break in - I had this style shoe in a 1/2 size smaller and after two kids, needed to go a little bigger. The bigger size seems really big. They are stiffer than I remember my first pair being. So, I'm still breaking them in. I also have a narrow foot, and even in the narrow size, I have to lace them pretty tightly.

Worth buying - I tried this shoe in several different sizes before I finally got the right fit. If you have a narrow foot probably still better to get the B width. It really runs narrow. The shoe is a bit stiff and even after wearing it several times it still is a bit stiff. Not my most favorite tennis shoe I ever owned, but it was the best for the price that I could find at this time.

Worse tennis shoe I've ever worn. I love Avia tennis shoes, but Zappos was out of my size 5. I needed shoes so I ordered New Balance WX608... what a mistake. They are the most uncomfortable shoe that I've ever worn. From the minute I put them on the top of my foot was in pain. Previously I owned a pair of New Balance and I wasn't pleased with them either, but I thought that I would give them another try. I will not make this mistake again. I haven't sent them back, but I certainly am. I love Zappos, but not New Balance shoes!!!!

Comfortable - These were my 1st pair of NB and I owned them for 4 years until I finally threw them away because they were so dirty. I found this shoe to be very comfortable. A little narrow through the toe but stretched out after being worn 3 or 4 times. I am working on my second pair and I just ordered a third. I hope NB does not discontinue this product. Zappos is a fabulous company. Love the overnight delivery. I buy all of my shoes from this site.

Love this classic shoe! I've worn New Balance 608's for years. I thought I'd try something new so I ordered two different athletic shoes from Zappos but had to send them back due to fit in both cases (what a great return policy!). So I came back to the tried and true and appreciate the 608 all the more now. I wear a 10.5 AA (could use an AAA in the heel) so I really appreciate New Balance carrying this tough to find size. I'm appalled that this shoe's write-up shows that it is to be discontinued soon. I hope Zappos will tell NB not to do that. I ordered these on a Thursday afternoon and they were at my home on Friday morning! Zappos is amazing -- thanks!
