"all right by me !!!"

New Balance makes great sneakers for men and women; and these 608 model number sneakers for the gents are the best I've ever had! They fit comfortably from the very first moment I wore them in the shoe store; and I've never had a problem since.

Moreover, these sneakers do not get too large as they stretch ever so slightly over time. Instead, the feeling your feet get is that of wearing an old, soft comfortable pair of bedroom slippers. This is great for those days when you're running around outside the house and want some soft, cushioned support for your feet!

The laces don't usually last as long as these sneakers will; but this is a minor disappointment. Just pick up an extra pair of white sneaker laces and you'll be fine in no time!

I also like that these come in black and white. This neutral color combination makes them perfect for when you're wearing different colors on different days.

Before ordering these sneakers from Amazon; make sure you check the pricing and availability chart; alternatively you can check size and color availability using other charts above. It's very easy.

Overall, this is one awesome pair of great sneakers! I highly recommend them; you won't be disappointed.

"Value Athletic Shoes"

I'm in my mid-40's and have had at least 20 pairs of these athletic shoes. They wear well, are instantly comfortable, reasonably priced and maintain a good appearance. Everytime I've purchased more expensive models costing twice the price of these, they've disappointed. I did not feel the additional features were worth the price. 5 stars

"My 5th pair"

This is the best damn tennis shoe made...period! It's great for walking, running, hiking, dinner parties... you name it. It never wears out, sure it gets old and grungy looking, but it doesn't fall apart! The shoelaces are the best part... they never come untied and they will outlast the shoe. I will continue to buy these 608s as long as New Balance continues to make them. Simply a great product. 5 stars

"Second Pair"

I owned my first pair of NB608 for about 8 years (still have them). Bought a new one as the old ones are kinda rough looking. These are the BEST shoes on the market. Have had the second set for about a year now. EXCELLENT. Will buy a third pair with these wear out.

"New Balance Mens Cross Trainer Shoe"

I was very satisfied with my order. The shoes arrived from FL exactly one week from the date I ordered them. The shoes fit well, are very comfortable, I cannot see any problems. Even with the $6.00 charge for shipping, the shoes are about $8.00 less than similar models I could find in local stores. 5 stars
