Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

this version of the 608 is an horrendous backward step for the 608. the absorb footbed is gone. replaced by a hard nylon footbed. the insole is not enough to replace the comfort. the 100% leather construction is now gone. replaced by fake leather. needless to say I will not be buying the v5 anytime soon. will have to find another type of NB shoe to go to. also the v4 was made on a sl-2 last that gave you extra depth in the toebox. the mx-oo1 last does not. it is a longer narrower last so don't expect it to have the toe room that the 608v4 did. all in all a botched job. I expected better from New Balance.
