Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

I started wearing the 608 when it was Version 2 - a long time ago. I originally bought this shoe because the Good Feet Store recommended it to wear with my orthotics for my bad heel. Didn't take me long to be sold on the shoe. Each version of the shoe seems to have a bit of improvement, but I don't know how much better they can make it. It is almost the only shoe I ever wear. I have brown ones for winter, and white ones for summer. Unless they quit making this shoe, I will never wear any other. I throw the white ones in the washer and they come out perfect. They are very long lasting and even when they are old and start to show wear, they are still very comfortable. Do yourself a favor and buy this shoe!

I have bought these for years. They are comfortable and durable.

Great fit, comfortable and they keep my feet from hurting. I have heel spurs, I was told by a friend to get NB shoes and the spurs would not bother me any more. He was right, i have not had pain in seven years. .

Very Good sneaker. I have worn the 608 for years and it really supports my feet .

I usually wear the shoes when I am taking pictures in the park or walking around the neighborhood. There are very comfortable. I haven't any complaints about them.

I have worn these shoes everyday for a month walking on concrete and they are very supportive and stable.

These are my new favorite everyday shoes, thank you New Balance!

I had bought a pair of 608 for myself at an online store, and my wife also wanted a pair. When I found that a NARROW was available NB direct I ordered these. I particularly liked the ease of tracking, we had had some problems with packages at our rural mailbox complex being marked delivered but not received. So knowing the day it would be there put me right at the mailbox when the package arrived.

My goals were to find a less expensive shoe than I usually buy, narrow width, and something in a neutral color. As those of you with a narrow width know, our choices are a bit limited when it comes to color. Check off all three requirements. Overall, this is comfortable, but the shape of the toe box is not as rounded as I would prefer, so I am hoping, since these are suede-y that they will soften up and stretch out a bit over time. The 10.5 was true to size. I thought the heel area felt a little loose, but putting in my orthotics helped with this. (Not relevant to this shoe, since it is my first try at this model, butI share the frustration of so many other NB buyers when it comes to various styleswhy the constant need to "improve" on something that is highly reviewed and meets the requirements of so many buyers...and end up with a product that is not as satisfactory?)

These are extremely comfortable and very good looking. I wear them daily and with casual attire when going out in the evening. Great value for the dollar.

This shoe gives great support and stability. It's a great shoe for a variety of conditions.

I wear size 15 XW (4E). I've been wearing New balance shoes for 5 plus years now. Knowing that if they have 15 XW, it will fit. So I go with their brand of sneakers. Since I've been wearing these 608v5 shoes, there has been a few days where I was on my feet standing & walking around alot. it is nice to have the comfort of these shoes. My feet haven't been tired or hurt. It is also nice to put these on , after wearing my steel toe work boots for 8 plus hours.

I was unable to find this shoe in any store. It was easy to order directly from New Balance. It was delivered directly to my front door. I even got a discount from what similar shoes going for in the stores. Shoe fits perfectly and feels good.

I have been wearing this particular style New Balance show for more than 10 years and it fits my needs perfectly. It has a removable insert which allows me to use an insert made for my particular foot problems (over pronation) and then fits very comfortably. These shoes support my arch and ankle well while walking and I do 2 1/2 miles every morning. They last about 6 months and then begin to wear on the outer part of the heel. They always look nice and are easy to keep clean.

Use these every other day alternate between my 990 and these. Only wish the laces were shorter bought 36" which work fine.

The shoe is very comfort to my feet after I bought the correct size

If you are looking for that sneaker your Dad always wore, look no further. I always get comments when I wear these out, "oh wow, are you a Dad?" (I am), and "my dad and/or grandpa always wore chunk white new balances like those!", "your dad and/or grandpa must be pretty cool" I respond.

Great fit, but I walk 80-90 miles a week, so I want to see if they last as long as the more expensive New Balance shoes previous to these!

I've been buying the 608s since they were available. They are well built and give very good support, It is hard to find a shoe in a 12 wide, especially under $100. Very pleased!

I have been wearing NB shoes for years. These were my least

These are excellent general purpose sneakers. I order a new pair of 608's every year or so as I trash them working in the yard.

They fit every time, are comfortable, & do everything the are designed to do. Will definatly order more
