- Is the New Balance 603 good for walking all day?
- Yes, for casual walking and standing. The EVA midsole and foam-cork insole cushion each step, and the mesh upper stays breathable. It is not a stability or trail shoe.
- Is the 603 waterproof?
- No. It has no Gore-Tex membrane, so rain and puddles will soak through the mesh upper. Treat it as a dry-weather shoe.
- How does the 603 fit?
- It comes in normal width only and uses a standard lace-up fit. Men with wide feet may find it snug and should look at New Balance's wide-width models instead.
- How does it compare with New Balance running shoes?
- The 603 is a simpler casual shoe. It has a platform EVA sole and cork-blend insole rather than the technical foam and support features of New Balance's running line.
- Can I wear the 603 for the gym?
- Light gym use is fine, but the platform sole and mesh upper are built for walking and casual wear, not lifting or lateral training.
- What is the upper made of?
- A mix of mesh, fabric and synthetic overlays. The mesh panels let air through, and the synthetic parts hold the shape around the laces.
