Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

They are a great shoe from New Balance and should last a long time as other shoes of this brand have.

The shoes were too narrow. There was nothing wider in that style. Returned for refund

Comfortable for my long walks of 7 to 9 miles. Great arch support, but also a really comfortable shoe. I'm elderly and really not able to do much athletically, but I can walk, and these shoes are great for that.

These are decent shoes for the price. The size was true (I wear an 11). The laces are very long, but seem to stay tied without having to add the "baby knot" to the bow. I would buy them again.

got these in size 8 (given that the new balance 574 fit me perfectly in size 8). At first fit I thought that I should've gotten the 8.5. the material (leather?) is certainly stiffer than that of the 574 so the first 2 days were spent breaking them in, and they are much more comfortable now, though still a little small, so if you fluctuate a .5 between sizes you may want to go for the bigger option. The support is great but not like walking on a cloud (probably for the better). It's a heavy shoe for heavy work and you may feel that heaviness for a bit if your exercise is closer to running. I also had to relace the shoes to give my feet more space.

This is my fourth pair of these. They are once again very comfortable. I highly recommend them

Hi I absolutely love new balance I've been a diabetic for 22 years and Ive wore new balance because of my neuropathy for 10 years. So I buy them every six months New balance has good support true to size I think that I've shown how much I like new balance by purchasing them every six months thank you for your product!!!

Returned these shoes two weeks ago. Felt weak construction and lack of support. I'm still waiting for my refund

I buy new balance because of a foot problem. They are the only sneaker that stopped the pain.

The shoes were ordered a half size larger as recommended. I have a problem with right big toe - needed room and I got it. Shoes have a very wide toe box so they were comfy. They are not very attractive due to the large toe box. I did feel at times I was flapping around in clown shoes. If you need a comfy shoe and not worried about the looks, it is fine.

Perfect for general sports and leisure, especially in this price category. The right fit for me was 1/2 size smaller than other NB sneakers.

I have a hard time to find shoes for my feet. These shoes are comfortable.

Great shoes for weights and gym workouts. They offer support in all the right places and prevent your feet from sliding out "the side" when doing for example side lunges. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on, and I will be ordering another pair soon to have as a backup.

So far very pleased. Comfortable, light weight and orthotics fit in with no problems. Also have 608 in black. Equally as pleased.

I have gone through three pairs of 624s... But apparently they are no longer available.... Hopes are high that these 608s will do as well or better. White color and not too bold logo or decorations is what I want in addition to all day comfort.... So far so good...

Comfortable, walking shoe , fits good, light weight. I will likely purchase this shoe again!

I received the shoes without the inside Comfort Insert that is part of and belongs inside of the shoes. I called customer service and asked if I could be sent the missing Comfort Inserts to the shoes, and I was told that the only thing I can do is to go online and proceed to return the shoes. I said that I was hoping that we would be able to remedy the situation by them merely sending me the Comfort Inserts. I was put on hold, and when the rep came back she told me that her supervisor said I could go online and purchase the inserts. I asked why would I do that when it is part of shoe? (The inserts they have online, are NOT the Comfort Inserts that are a part of this shoe.) I asked if the supervisor understood the problem. The rep said yes. I said this is wrong and asked to speak to the supervisor. I was put on hold for several minutes, the line was silent. I hung up when they started streaming loud music through the telephone because I did not feel like I was going to get anywhere. I sent an email through their website; however because they do not have a direct email for subjects such as this and I had to choose a different subject, I am not confident they will respond. You can see from the picture on the website what the inside of the shoe should look like my shoe has a ragged-edge piece of thin white fabric inside the shoe, not the pink Comfort Insert that is part of the shoe.

I liked the construction...looked a bit clunky, but i fully expected them to be super comfy when wearing. that was not the case. Both shoes had a strange feel to the outside portion of the sole...felt like extra matter was in the sole that caused my feet to 'lean outwards.' I wanted to like the shoe but just couldn't get to that point. So i returned them.

I ordered a size 11 4-E and the fit is perfect day one. My only form of exercise these days is walking and these shoes fit the bill perfectly. And they look sharp.

I walk several miles a day for my job and these are the absolute best shoes I have found for walking. Light and comfortable. I have tried other popular brands but nothing touches these New Balance shoes.

My husband and I have worn nothing but New Balance shoes for years. The pair shown here are an 8 wide and this is my 3rd pair. I love them and they are so comfortable. I walk on rough streets and they wear forever. I've even washed mine in the washing machine and they come out looking like new. NB makes a great shoe at a great price.
