Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

Really like this pair of shoes. Color and style are great and they fit like a glove. I will definitely order again.

Why the hell is this shoe falling apart? It is bad enough zappos large size sneakers selection has tanked and gotten to next to nothing unless you wanna wear kid shoe brands like DC, this is ridiculous. I'm tired of this and wish zappos would take some responsibility and do something about it w shoe manufacturers. I call n call and call or email and it's the customary BS answers. DO SOMETHING ABOUT IT ALREADY CAUSE ITS REALLY PREJUDICIAL TO GUYS W LARGE FEET.

Good shoe because it's not a Nike.

New Balance is consistent with their sizes and I got my usual size. After wearing the new shoes a few times they will break in for a perfect fit.

I just got them out of the box tried them on and they fit great. I tried places like Amazon and they are very limited as far as size and especially wide widths. I will be buying my shoes on here from now on. I am going to get them in black for work.

We ordered these shoes in white and black in size 9.5. The white shoes fit perfectly and were comfortable but the black ones were definitely a little shorter and narrower, so beware that quality control was a little off in these shoes.

The shoe was too tight.

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

This is my second pair of this style, and I'll buy them again.

I had a pair of 608v3 previously and when they wore out, I bought a more expensive walking shoe. I was not as happy with those, so went back and purchased the 608v5. I am very pleased. They fit well, and are true to size. I basically use them for walking shoes and they are supportive and comfortable. I am very pleased and will keep these on my buy list!

I reviewed this before but this needs to be said. please disregard my previous review. chalk it up to ignorance. this version of the 608 is far superior in comfort and fit. the polyurethane insole is very comfortable. while the toebox is a little narrower it is still a good fit widthwise. it also has more room for the instep area. it will also accomadate orthotics like the v4did.the only question I have is how long this shoe will last due to the faux leather construction. read in another review that sometimes the outsole will come unglued from the faux leather at the seam. will let you know how well it does for me. all in all a very good shoe. wore them for the first time at work for 10 hrs. on hard cement and they preformed excellently.

Great

Love them !

Pretty decent sneaker just for knocking around. It has noarch support. If you have Plantar Fasciitis like I do, a replacement is a must. I use a Finn Comfort Finnamic which is their soft insole. It’s very comfortable. Birkenstock had an even better one ..... their soft footbed ..... but they stopped selling it about 3 years ago. A decent sneaker but the NB 990v4 is light years better. Like walking on a cloud. I love the 990 ..... other guys don’t. I tried about 10 different styles of NB ..... thank you Zappos. Ended up with the 608 and the 990. To wear all day, I recommend the 990. A trip to the grocery store or to walk the dog, the 608 is fine. I ordered the extra wide. I usually take an “M” but the Finn Comfort insole squeezed the toebox Nd I was getting blisters. The slightly wider shoe fits perfectly. Never wore an extra wide in my 68 years until now. It really helped. Try it guys if you get frustrated. Worst that happens it doesn’t fit and you send it back .... free. I tried Nike, SAS, Mephisto .... a bunch. NB fit the best.

My husband likes these shoes, they fit all of his requirements, mostly white, comfortable and lightweight.

Idk what's going on with NB but these shoes are small and not as wide.

Fit was as expected. Ample room in the toe area. Comfortable with adequate support. Good shoe for all activities.
