I've been on the hunt for some comfy work shoes for context, I've got flat feet that are skinny, with normal width. I've worn sketchers and hoka for work and these are probably the most comfy I've had. Sketchers for how expensive they've become, I feel that they do not give the support you'll need if you're on your feet for 6 to 8hrs. I often can feel the floor when wearing sketchers which causes a lot of foot pain. Hokas are good but I've found that they dig into where my arch would be making is pretty irritated in that area. I also feel like its not as cushioned as the new balance so if I'm speed walking, my sciatica flares up. I will say my only issuws with the New Balances is that the toe box is a bit too narrow. If they made it slighly wider for normal feet I think it would be a perfect work shoes. As for the longevity of the new balances I'm not 100% sure yet which is why they get 4 stars. For both my sketchers and hokas they've lasted about a year before I've had to buy new pairs. Depending on how long they last I'll update my review.

Comparing this shoe with my previous purchase of NB black walking shoes, I'd say this style is not quite as good as my previous pair! The liner doesn't allow socks to slip in smoothly, so the sock tends to gather or crease under your foot. The top of the right shoe nearest the baby toe seems flatter and tighter than the same spot in the left shoe. I find the lacing system to be too difficult to tighten properly probably because it is threaded through the tongue. I will probably take the laces out of the tongue. I ordered this particular shoe because it was the only non-running shoe available on your website. I am a walker; don't run; don't play tennis or other fast sport; thus a running shoe is not particularly interesting to me. Also, I walk in all kinds of weather, and canvass and/or white shoes don't suit my clothes or my style. If you had a nice walking shoe in something other than black I might be interested; I'd love a dark blue pair, to go with jeans.

Am wearing a size 15 X-Wide, I use it in the kitchen. The slip resistance is phenomenal quality, coming from New Balance it's expected. \n\nMaterials are high-end, and stand up to the daily grind of kitchen life. A damp cloth is all that's needed at the end of every shift, and its new again. Low maintenance at its best.\n\nMy only nitpick is that it runs a little bulky, even with my size feet I get other shoes from New Balance that are more streamline, with respect to the looks. It's a work shoes, what should I expect, lol! IKR!.\n\nI give these shoes a solid 9 ot of 10. Ideal for any professional chef that wants to wear something other than a "clog" that is reliable and safe in any kitchen environment. \n\nSide Note: Thanks New Balance for your continued support for the Big Foot People. ❤️👍🏾

I would like to start off by saying I love New balance shoes. I am 48 years old, and New Balance is (in my opinion) the most comfortable, durable, and size constant shoes I have ever worn. Been wearing only New Balance for round 35 years. Never have to try them on and always a perfect fit. This pair of slip resistant shoes is the first time I ever ordered a pair of shoes online, and I am 100% satisfied. If anyone needs a pair of slip resistant shoes or works in the restaurant industry and require slip resistant shoes I highly recommend great shoe very comfortable! Thank you New Balance for always having a great consistent product!

It's difficult to find a manufacturer that produces an aesthetic, durable shoe for men with long, super wide feet (6EEEE), but New Balance does the job, and they keep them in stock while other manufacturers produce a short run and suddenly stop production...leaving customers searching. These shoes are the best fitting pair I've had in my lifetime (61+ revolutions around our Sun). They are super comfortable and so far - they are one tough pair of shoes. It's no surprise that New Balance smokes the competition, especially when it comes to XX-Wide shoes. Bravo!

I used to work in Nike Air Force ones (horrible decisions) I decided I needed better work shoes and found these. They get the job done, and they truly do live up to the “slip resistant” part very nice and grippy shoes. I just wish I had gotten the wider models though, these do feel a little tight at times but once again good shoes, i recommend pairing these with good shoe insoles and compression socks if you're on your feet for most of the days and due to their dark color you don't have to worry about blemishes all too often I'd say I got my moneys worth.

My son refers to these as dapper. He enjoys the blacked out version. In the past we've only been able to get white and blue but these my 15 yr old enjoys. He's got large and very wide feet 13 6e. So it's not easy finding affordable shoes but these work. He really likes new balances ability to house his foot comfortably. He busts threw shoes a lot in his life, tearing soles off, and tearing insoles apart with holes and tears. Not this brand he's had great fortune in these shoes they've literally paid for themselves with long term and hard use.

I am a New Balance customer for over forty years and I have tried other “extra wide” brands, only to find that they weren’t wide enough for me. \nI’m usually a 4E width, but I thought I would try a 6E to see if it felt better than the 4E. The extra width was helpful, however , the MX 608V5, was very hard, so I had to buy inserts to make them comfortable enough to wear. I usually wear running shoes so I expected less cushioning. I love the width but I can only see myself wearing these shoes for short periods of time.

Stylish shoes, my dogs were BARKING those first 4 days of breaking them in. They are easy to clean when they get dirty and they keep my feet dry when cleaning floors and doing dishes. They did get comfortable after finally breaking them in. At first it feels like there's no arch support but the insoles form to the shape of your feet. They are holding up pretty well after about 3 weeks of wearing them everyday for work. They also add about an inch of height which is is cool too.

I'm always a bit leary, buying shoes online. But my sister highly recommended the New Balance so I figured I'd give it a try. They are reasonably priced and she says they are perfect for wearing orthotics, since they are so deep. It's true. These will be perfect for me, with or without orthotics. I do find the laces a tad too long. Don't know why they do that - but by tying double knots I can stop them from dragging on the ground. I'm wearing these daily - walking with ease. Glad I bought them.

I average over 10,000 steps at work and also spend time just standing in one space. My feet take a lot of abuse! I used to wear Hoka slip resistant with my inserts, but my feet were starting to become painful and I had callus forming on my right foot side. I changed to the New Balance with my inserts and my feet took a sigh of relief! My feet no longer ache half way thru the day and my callus is starting to fade away. I don't know what is different, but whatever it is my feet appreciate it!

Reviewed on www.walmart.com·Sonseearae
It is difficult for me to give a review because I can't compare these to anything. I wear a men's size 15 with a 6E width and these MX608v5 are my only option across all major retailers. I was crushed to find that New Balance had discontinued the all white version and spent over 100 hours looking for an alternative. As a woman with foot issues who is forced to wear a men's athletic shoe or go barefoot, I was able to feminize the all white option and at least try to make it cute. Now I'm out of options. I wish we could be notified before they discontinue model options as I would have bought a lifetime supply of the shoes I was trying to replace before they did. The shoe is worth more than 3 stars but the color choices gutted me and I just can't bring myself to go any higher.

I bought the 608v5 shoes to replace an old pair of New Balance cross trainers that are no longer made. Unfortunately these were not a good replacement as they were much heavier, the toe box was narrower in relation to the midfoot (ie. the midfoot was a bit too wide for me but the toe box was a but snug. You can see that the toe box on these shoes is weirdly pointy (which is not how most feet are shaped!). I also found the cuff around the ankle to be too stiff which made it uncomfortable to lace the shoes tightly (for exercising). I also found the Candied Violet colorway to sadly be more muted and not as bright as the pictures online. I returned them and the hunt continues!
