I had trouble finding a good solid pair of cross-trainers for my step aerobic classes, and, as usual, New Balance came to my rescue. Since strict "step shoes" are made for women, cross-trainers are the men's alternative. The 621s offer a thick, wide sole for stability and a comfortable, soft fit all-around. I bought some cushion inserts to help with all the stepping. Also, the bright white and the green stitching are nice and subtle, esp. with the manic-looking sneakers that are usually at the gym. 5 stars

These New Balance shoes are great. My son is a size 14 and is hard to fit. New Balance had the right style and the right fit! He loves those shoes. 5 stars

Finding comfortable and properly fitting shoes is a frustrating search, but these have fit very well on my wide feet. The front outer leather on the shoe did develop a hole early on after purchasing these at a retail store. There is an inner material that holds them together, like an innner fabric shoe to match the outer leather. I assume the hole was a defect in the leather used when manufacturing this particular pair of shoes. I still do have my doubts on the material quality though, so buyer beware. I only took one rating star off for poor materials, because I need to give the company extra rating credit for a shoe that actually fits comfortably. I use(d) these as my daily work shoes. I have other shoe brands to wear, but I prefer the 621s for comfort, even with the gaping hole in the leather. I am shoe shopping here on amazon due to the hole getting much larger after a few months of daily wear. I'd try another pair, but only if they were on sale. 4 stars

I bought these for my uncle for Christmas. He loves them, very comfortable. Great value for a great price! 5 stars

These are very comfortable shoes. I purchased the Brown and Green and they are a pretty decent looking walking/hiking shoe. Really impressed by the speedy delivery. 5 stars
