This version is pointier in thee toe box, the heels have no support and seem shorter and looser then v4. For me the blue version seems sort of big and one shoe seem bigger in the collar/heel. I also bought the black one and they seem tighter. My orthothotics don't fit in very well.

Like that they are white and mostly leather type instead of breathable, good for winter however the soles are slippery on certain surfaces which is not good for what I wanted them for. I always buy a 4E width (these are men's) and these actually are too small as they hurt my feet so I think you may have to go up on your width size. The other shoes I have bought from NB are great because they are wide enough for me.

I am on my feet at work and this shoe does nothing to help. My feet and legs hurt and I only work 6 hours. Won't buy it again.

Got these for work in a restaurant because of the non slip. They are better than sneakers or gym shoes or whatever they call them where you live, but not great at all if I walk past the dishwasher's wet floor. Also the "vent" area tends to run against the top of my for near the pinky toe and gets really uncomfortable by end of shift. Neither issue enough to return the shoes, but was hoping for something better given the price. Will look elsewhere when it's time for a new pair.

I've worn this shoe before. I wear it for coaching football. The leather shoe is good for dewy grass, and is dryer and warmer in winter, This pair is not as comfortable. The stitching under the insole is rough and has caused me discomfort.

I had previously ordered this shoe from another vendor in white and was quite happy with it - fit well, decent cushionin for a variety of training activities. I ordered another pair in black from NB directly but found it to be much stiffer and less cushioned than the white pair. Unfortunately, the black pair was returned.

I bought two pairs of exact same model/size...one black and one white. This model is the exact same shoe I have ordered for years. The black pair fit fine, the white pair was a whole size too large even though it said the correct size ordered. Returned the white pair and ordered a second pair 1/2 size smaller. They were so short my toes were jammed in the end. Returned them as well. The uunfortunate part is this is not the first time this has happened. Cannot understand how ordering two pair of the same model/size etc. And only different colors can always be so inconsistent in size. If this had been the first time it had happened I might be inclined to excuse it; however, it has occurred multiple times over multiple years. Sadly, will need to buy my shoes elsewhere.

I ordered replacements for my work shoes. The old ones had a pull tab that was large enough that I could slip my fingers into them. The replacments, the same model per the NB representative, did not have pull tabs that were large enough. This makes putting the shoes on a little more difficult for me.

I had a problem with two pairs of these but thought I'd give them another chance.

Good looking shoe at a great price, but ran smaller than my other NB’s. Insoles definitely should be replaced. Regretfully, Returned shoes for refund.

These shoes fit perfectly but the laces are about 10 inches too long. Had to order some new laces or take the shoes back. I have a short wide foot so it's hard for me to even find shoes to wear.

I previously had a pair of 608v4s which I loved (very comfortable). However I am very disappointed with v5 because the innersoles are not smooth. They have a textured pattern from heel to toe which you can feel when you walk. What were they thinking? Did anyone at NB actually try these on and walk around? I replaced the innersoles with commercial ones which also offer arch support, now very comfortable.

I was concerned that the shoes I ordered might be a bit too long, but they were actually too tight all around. I just printed out my return label so I can send them back.

NB has stopped making large sizes for athletes more and more as the years pass & now its reaching down to 600 models that arent made w any bonuses and cheap looking . Its ridiculous that it's so hard to find a 17 or 18 EE shoe with quality

Clunky, hard and really not what I was expecting for a walking shoe. Zero cushioning. About all I can say is the white is very white.

Have bought these same style shoes for years and they always fit but not this pair, much smaller than the size indicates.
