The fit is great. I hate the feeling that my heel is going to slip out. These don't feel that way. These are the best shoes I've purchased in a while.

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 was looking for a quality cross training shoe after my Reeboks just got too old and worn. This one fit perfectly and offers lots of support. I'm very happy with the purchase, especially for the price.

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

This is a nice shoe the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because even though they are suppose to be 4E wide they get to narrow around the toe so the not to comfortable on the sides of my toes.

I have a lot of foot problems & this shoe gives me the support I need to walk well. After 3 surgeries on each foot, this is the only shoe I'be found comfortable.

I wear the 608s when I go to the gym. It's a great all purpose work out shoe for my lifting and cardio too. I work overnights at a radio station, so being comfortable is important. And since I work in a casual environment, and it's okay to wear sneakers, why not wear the best!!

high instep? check! decent toe box? check! true 4E? check! I've had earlier 608 versions which were fine, but I was wary of this v5 due to the NB tendency lately to produce narrower, cramped, lower instep 4E models, similar to other major brands. some brands feel ok for width down in the shoe but for me are stingy with the toe box and especially in the closure over my high insteps - the laces barely reach and even with longer laces the tongue isn't fully covered. Not these. I also like this style with the black tongue and laces. Only wish they were leather shoes.

I work in security and am on my feet for sometimes 12 hours a day and I have to say that my feet don't hurt at all after work and since switching to these my fatigue rate is much slower.

Good shoe. It was wide enough and that's tough for me. I ordered the 4W and the width was great. I usually wear a 13 but wish I had gotten a 14 instead because the shoe box is just a little short.

Shores are great but don't get political or I will quit buying your shoes too just like I did with the swoosh company.

I can only wear tie-up shoes with side supports, due to ankle surgeries. I try to buy New Balance as they seem to stand up to the abuse my feet give them. This pair is for Winter, so I've only tried them on and walked around the house so far. They feel great and that' s without my custom orthotics.

Comfortable. Like other 608's but seem to be a bit stiffer.

This is the 4th pair of 608s I've purchased. I use them both for athletics and walking. Since I wear orthotics I had to find a shoe that would fit along with the supports and still be comfortable. 608s fit the bill perfectly. Keep them coming.

Very disappointed in these V5 shoes. Not normal New Balance quality. Constructed with vinyl shiny finish upper which do not breathe like my previous purchased V3 and V4 shoes which have leather uppers. And they will not hold up as well. They will also scratch easier. They remind me more of shoes sold at Kmart or Walmart. Will not purchase more New Balance if this is their new normal.

Don't know yet. I've always purchased New Balance.

I purchase a pair each summer, the new pair for nice sneaker occasions, the last years pair for every day wear. I wear the 608's daily, all year long, except for the snow months. After two years the 608's make for good car wash and grass cutting shoes.
