Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

Had bought size 7 and ended up with nail bed bruising when I replaced my size 6.5. So bought a 7.5 and they feel slightly loose but better than causing nail bed bruising for being too small. Didn't realize two years isolation with bare feet because of the pandemic would cause feet to grow a full size.

When my initial purchase had a defect in workmanship after just five months of periodic use, I asked for a replacement and was given a $30 voucher. Not amused! I had to duct tape the shoe which has become a walking advertisement for New Balance. The new pair will hopefully last longer.

I've tried them all over the years, even the "signature" brands, nothing makes my feet feel better, which makes me feel better....a real no brainer, plus I feel more stable in them. It doesn't get any better than that for me and my shoes!

I wore 624 for years and really liked them. This is my second pair of 608 and they are not nearly as good. The cushion is less and never molds to my feet the way the 624 did. Why does New Balance discontinue such a popular shoe. NB did the same with my hiking shoe. I will be looking around for other options when time to buy my next trainer.

This sneakers are light, good looking and ready to wear. Fortunately they don't scream at you the brand. I also wear the 990 and used to wear the 1080. I wish NB would bring back less flashy colors and more wearable with suits. Just simple black both in the 990 or the 10 1080 and the possibility to costumize your own colors.

Before you think it's horrible that the show only lasted that short of time, let me explain. I work in a factory standing on my feet 8-10 hours a day. Floor is concrete, and I don't move from my work station very much. I bought these shoes in April. I wore them everyday since, as they are literally my only pair of shoes. I'm very hard on shoes and I'm usually having to buy a new pair just about every 3-4 months. I'd say I got my $$ worth. Will be buying another pair.

There it's so comfortable I love those sneakers

I have been buying new balance for over 40 years. Great for working out or just walking. Been a guality product for all my life.

Love them! perfect fit

I purchased these shoes for a up coming trip that involved alot of walking and they delivered. Comfortable, fit is true to my size. 8.5 normal width.

I bought these for walking but they are very uncomfortable. Not alot of padding and seem to run narrow. If you want sturdy sneakers these are for you!

I'm always concerned that I have to send them back because they don't fit right. But what I received fit great I will order them again thank you

Bought these for my husband to replace an older pair. He said they felt and looked good.

Great product and purchase.

For many years I have worn New Balance shoes because I find them a more truer size than what other manufactures put out. I have always had flat feet and are able to wear a "D" width, with NB shoes I have not seen that change, where as other companies I feel are cutting down the width size to save money on material, thus making them all feel more narrow and tight and not comfortable for all day use. New Balance are the shoes for me. Thank you NB for making the shoes TRUE to size.

I have used this version of your shoe for many years and I am finding some inconsistency in the sizing.

I bought the pair for my mom. She uses it at work. She finds them every comfortable. In fact, she has been using the pair for some years now. I order it every 6 months. My mom has wide feet and the shoes have plenty of space without being loose. She likes the way it looks, it's work-appropriate. I recommend buying the pair, if you think you need/want an extra cushion.

I liked the Navy and White 608 but needed a black version for work. Really supports my foot and is comfortable. Thanks NB!
