Product description

New Balance, is dedicated to helping athletes achieve their goals. It's been their mission for more than a century. It's why they don't spend money on celebrity endorsements. They spend it on research and development. It's why they don't design products to fit an image. They design them to fit. New Balance is driven to make the finest shoes for the same reason athletes lace them up: to achieve the very best.

Shoes feel good after a couple days of breaking them in. I have noticed that it seems like most shoe companies have changed their sizing. I used to wear a size 14 in most brands, but in the last 1-1.5 years I've had to start switching to a size 15. I went with a size 15 for the first time with New Balance just in case they had changed sizing too (my old 475's are size 14) and these fit perfect. If you haven't bought a pair of New Balance in the last couple of years, I suggest either going to a store and trying some on or going a size up and see if they fit better.
The shoe itself is pretty comfortable, not a huge departure from the 475's that I've had for a few years. The fabric above the toes provides nice ventilation. The sole has good tread and I'm pretty sure they'll do great in the dirt. Hopefully these last me as long as the 475's did. The leather looking material does seem a little cheap, but for the price I'm not complaining.

Just got these in the mail. Fit perfectly. I had the 608s before the exact same size 10.5 4E and those were the comfiest shoes I’ve ever owned. These fit exactly like my old ones. I’m a 320lb guy with wide feet and these shoes make my feet not hurt at all after a day of work being on my feet all day.

I have worn New Balance my entire adult life. I love the shoes! I have wide feet and they always have my size. I can't say enough good things about them and I have always been satisfied with the quality, comfort, and durability of the shoes...... until my last pair. I got these from Amazon what I believed to be a legit NEW BALANCE seller. I can but New Balance shoes online because the past quality has proven that I never need to try them on. They have always been consistent in the past in their sizing. As soon as I got these shoes they felt a little "off" but I did not pay much attention. I am not "hard" on athletic shoes... I save that for my work boots. After just a few months of mild use, the insoles completely fell apart. I have a very similar pair that I wore the hell out of for3+ years and they are in WAY better shape than these shoes. The outside started falling apart and the shoelaces have completely snapped in half. They look similar to my old ones but are very thin in comparison and also have differences in stitch pattern and color. Is this a knockoff? The pics I have attached show the difference between a shoe that I have had for well over 3 years vs these new ones that are less than one year. And please remember these started seriously falling apart after just 2-3 months of very mild use. The orange insole is 5X thicker and in way better shape, the other insole is like paper. The inside stitching is coming undone also ( started after 2 months)
I know I am late on this review but when the lace on the second shoe broke yesterday, so did my tolerance of these shoes. I have now swapped out both laces and also the insoles from my (definitely real) older New Balance. I am not sure what can be done if anything... I will try and contact New Balance directly and see.
I will update this later
PICS: The orange insole, orange-toed shoe, and bright orange shoelace on the left side are all verified New balance as I purchased them in an actual New Balance store. The green insole and other pics are from the shoe I got on Amazon.
