Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

Fit great , fast delivery

Decent shoes, pretty plain, work well for tall, heavy people. I just wish they would have a Wide, and not go from D to EE. Zappos of course rocks, next day delivery, always well packaged.

I return the shoe. I've been wearing New Balance for many years. What in the world did they do to there product? The fit was terrible.

They look good. Only had them 2 days now, feel comfortable. Had to replace the insert for more arch support. Tried about 5 other pairs before settling on these. Thank goodness for Zappos free shipping and returns. They do a great job.

Purchased for my husband who is a hard fit, being extra wide. He always chooses NB and these sneakers worked very well. Much better looking with the black laces; makes the shoes look less "clumpy." Good Job New Balance. Thanks, Zappos for having the right shoes and great service.

Good fit and looks. I preferred the absorb insoles that used to come with this model.

I use these shoes for working out and, particularly for heavy use on the treadmill and elliptical. For that purpose they have performed excellently. Beyond that I cannot comment.

I use these for HIIT workouts, and I love the sole cushion. Great support for plank twists, skaters, and the like. The shoe helps support those awkward missteps in lunges or off-balance movements when I am burned out and just want it to be over. I am confident I won't roll and ankle, so I can think about the workout and not worry about the shoe. The sole is nice and non-abrasive for workouts on carpet in my basement. I usually wear the NB 806 for workouts (great lateral support), but the MX608 gives the support I need for a lot less $$.

This 608 version has a widened toe bed which makes the shoe about one-half inch larger. A better shoe than the v4, but still not equivalent to the earlier versions, v1 & v2. Compared to the prior version, feet are better stabilized, but the padding doesn't provide much cushioning.

If you want a shoe that ranks up there with other super-supportive overpronation shoes with ample toe box, but costs a whole bunch less, try these. You have big-time foot problems with a limited budget? And no, they do not look like orthopedic shoes. They are probably a bit clunky for running shoes, but everyday wear? This is for you. I love 'em.

I've owned multiple pairs of this model so I felt pretty safe getting these online. Unfortunately the v5 is nowhere near as comfortable to wear as my old shoes were. Pretty disappointing effort from NB.

This black pair fits perfect. True to size and listed width

Bought white/Team royal and this shoe was not true to size, It was not a 2e as marked and felt to be a half size short. (ordered a men's 7 and it felt like a 6.5. I compared it to the black pair I purchased in the same size and they were indeed narrower and shorter

Ordered 2 pairs exactly the same size. Returning the one that was shorter (too short) than the other.

I started out buying the 623 which were cheaply made and Junk. So I thought I would try the 608, same result. New Balance has lost it, shoes stink from all the cheap material they use. They resemble a shoe that you used to buy for 15.00 at a cheap shoe store. I will never buy another shoe from them. Thanks to Zappos for their great return policy and customer service.

These shoes are great. A little more arch support would improve them, but all in all they are comfortable.
