- Is the New Balance 603 good for walking?
- It works for light walking and errands. The EVA midsole and forefoot cushioning are comfortable, but the shoe is flatter and less supportive than dedicated walking shoes, so it is not ideal for long distances.
- How does the 603 compare with the New Balance 574?
- The 603 has a slimmer, lower profile and a simpler mesh-and-suede build. The 574 offers more cushioning and a chunkier retro look, while the 603 feels lighter and closer to the ground.
- Does the New Balance 603 run true to size?
- It runs slightly narrow. Most buyers stay with their usual size, but those with wide feet often go up a half size for more room.
- Is the 603 waterproof?
- No. It has no Gore-Tex lining and the mesh upper lets water through, so it is best kept for dry days.
- What is the heel height on the 603?
- The heel stack is about 38 mm, which gives a modest lift without a steep drop. It is a low-profile lifestyle shoe, not a stability walking shoe.
- Can I wear the 603 all day?
- For light days, yes. For long shifts on hard floors, the thin cushioning and limited arch support make it a weaker choice than a cushioned walking shoe.
