- Is the New Balance 608 good for wide feet?
- Yes. It comes in wide widths, and owners with broad feet often say it fits without pinching. Order your usual width and size.
- Is it comfortable for all-day walking?
- Most owners say yes, thanks to heel cushioning and a padded collar. The shoe is on the heavy side, so it suits steady walking more than speed.
- Does it need breaking in?
- Some wearers find the midsole firm at first and report it softens after a few wears. Trying it around the house first helps.
- Is it breathable in summer?
- The mesh helps, but the leather panels trap heat. In hot weather, lighter all-mesh walkers stay cooler.
- How does it compare with the New Balance 574?
- The 608 is chunkier, wider and more supportive, while the 574 is lighter and more of a lifestyle sneaker. Choose the 608 for walking comfort and the 574 for a slimmer look.
- What is the upper made of?
- Leather and mesh, with a textile lining and a foam and polyurethane insole over a rubber outsole.
