Good for all around wear. Bought the 2E width. I have diabetes and a neuroma. They are comfortable and have eased my foot pain significantly.

I am a mail carrier. I walk 12 miles a day. These are the best quality shoes to get the job done. I have nerve damage feet and plantar fasciitis due to the postal issued shoes. If it wasnt for NB, I would not be able to work and would have gone out on disability.

I have always purchased 608V5 and I wouldn't wear anything else. They are comfortable and they support my feet well. They wear extremely well, too. I placed my order and expected to wait several days before I would receive an email stating they were shipped but instead I received them the next day. Now that is fantastic service.

I'm a letter carrier and use this sneaker on a daily basis. It's the only sneaker that I've been using for the last couple years. The only reason why I didn't give it a five star is because they need a better insert. A great walking sneaker for the money.

This was not my first pair of New Balance 608v5 sneakers. I like the style and the fit is excellant. I have no brake in time for the shoes. Very comfortable.

I only order New Balance because they have the wide shoes.

Shoe does not rub ankle bone for all activity and I don't need to worry about sock getting wet for shallow puddle.

This pair is an exchange. The initial pair were the same size I have worn in New Balance 608s for years - 13D. That initial pair felt too narrow and too short. I thought a wider shoe might fix the fit. There was no E width available so I got EE. The exchanged pair felt fine width-wise but was still too short. Since, as I said, this model is the kind I have gotten for years I can only assume New Balance has changed their manufacturing process to save materials resulting in shorter and narrower shoes. I am really disappointed. It was such a pleasure to order shoes without having to worry about fit. That is no longer the case.

I've been wearing these shoes for a number of years. I have one pair for exercising and another pair for everyday use. The 608v5 gives my feet the support they need and they're very comfortable. I would definitely recommend them. I'm sure I'll be buying them again in the future.

I needed a shoe with just a little extra width due to a bunion, and this shoe not only fits great but the extra width has decreased the pain I was feeling from wearing shoes that were a tad too tight.

Love the shoes. They are always a perfect fit. The 4E size is very hard to find.

I wear these shoes as every day fair. They have good wear and the different colors gives a cool look. I have bought NB for a lot of years now and have the best luck with them.

This is the exact size of a previous order of New Balance 608s. For some reason they are too small. I'm not sure which dimension is the culprit - the width or the length. I am assuming it is the width since that is the nature of the pain I felt after trying them on. I would like to exchange this pair for a pair of 13s with an E width.

Please continue to get this style as my husband has worn this style for many years while walking on concrete all day at his sawmill operation!
The 624's were too narrow for his 13D sized foot so I easily exchanged them for the 608v5's. Customer service was excellent, too!

This is my second pair of this shoe. I wear them everyday for everything, so I am on my feet all day at work and then I wear them for outside of work also. I really don't have any complaints about them.

I have been a diehard Nike person but have been dealing with hip pain. Was recommended these shoes and can't believe how much of the day to day pain has gone away.

I love these shoes. Very comfortable. I am a repeat customer. They wear out only because I wear them constantly. I am happy they come in so many color options.

I have been wearing the 608 style for many years. I am now 80 years old. I just bought this shoe in larger size as usual but I noticed that the 608v5 has a different configuration (pattern)on the bottom than the usual 608 as I bought in the past. I put in an extra pad in the shoe as usual but when I walk in the street I feel like I have small lumps in the bottom of my feet. Very uncomfortable. I will not wear them any longer. Why did they change the bottom. It wasn't broke so why did they change it?

I will have to look for a new brand
