Bought these for my hubby and he loves them. He wears a hard to find 4E. We usually have to drive two hours round trip to academy and spend hours sometimes looking for a shoe in stock that is 4E. [...] made finding and buying these fast and easy. I had bought me a pair of Avia from them the week before, it was so fast and easy, at a great price, I bought him a pair. These are first quality, not seconds with a bunch of flaws. Thanks Amazon and [...].

Love the way the shoe fits, but after less than six months of very minimal wear (I don’t run, don’t hike and basically sit on my duff all day) the leather is ripping away from the sole at the toes.

I’ve had nothing but praise for New Balance shoes before I received these 609′s. In the first three days of use, the heel padding wore through on both shoes (never happened so soon on my other NB shoes), so badly that I had a nasty blister on my left heel. A shoelace eyelet ripped out, too. I’m just surprised at how poorly these held up. I’m not ordering shoes online again. Better to get the right fitting shoe at a store.

This is a great shoe, I’ve been wearing them for a few years. NB shoes seem slightly wider than other brands and end up fitting me just a little better. These shoes also arrived surprisingly fast, which was a nice surprise.

This is a nice shoe, however, not as wide as most New Balance 4E. If you buy this one, it will take a break-in period to stretch out the leather.
