It is an orthotic-friendly shoe

The brand originally markets the shoe for “Training.” However, because of its leather upper and quite bulky construction, it may not be the best option for agile cross-training.
But still, if you are easily satisfied with some lighter workouts that are not too demanding on the footwear, then the 624 could work. Otherwise, have a look at our selection of the best workout shoes in the market.
NB 624 is approved as diabetic-friendly by Medicare
This New Balance shoe carries a Medicare/HCPCS code = A5500. It implies that the shoe can be recommended to people with diabetes. Another good news is that its cost is eligible for reimbursement by Medicare as well.
Warning: laces are way too long
Several buyers have complained that it is a double trouble. On one hand, the loops look floppy and “clownish.” And what’s worse, it could lead to tripping issues for the elderly wearer.
Thus, you may need to purchase an additional (shorter) pair of shoestrings.
The 624 form New Balance is not that hot
Many people admit it, the shoe is not going to get you plenty of compliments. It does its job well from the in-shoe side of things but it’s just not eye candy.
But most reviewers who buy this NB shoe don’t really worry about that. As one of them puts it “the shoe grants you access to the Hall of Dad Jokes.”
