Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5 Slip Resistant

Fit is good, especially width. Wish they had a bit more arch support

Thr shoes were great! My daughter liked everything except the color was not to her liking.

These are nice running shoes. But my big toe was very close to the front of the shoe, which might not have been a problem if that area were mostly mesh, but with the faux leather I didn't think I could count on any easing or stretching of the fit. After more thought, I decided that a really good fit is SO important to me for my running shoes that I should try them on before buying. I know that Zappos offers free returns, but my personal preference is to try before buying for this type of shoe. I am still very happy with the dress shoes I bought earlier this year - they are perfect.

If it was fine In the fit, the chunky styling on my narrow feet was not to my style, so sent back.

i LIKE THIS SHOE, BUT AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE STITCHING INSIDE. I HAVE AN OCCASIONAL TOE PROBLEM AND WONDERING IF THE STITCHING INSIDE MIGHT BE BOTHERSOME BY RUBBING. IT COULD BE SMOOTHER INSIDE. .

This 608v5 shoe is MUCH better in fit and support than some other styles of New Balance I have tried ---after wearing 608v1 and v3 in the past multiple pairs when working as a medical professional standing /walking/ on my feet all day---the v2 and v4 revisions were not good for me.....so I tried other styles of New Balance which also were NOT good for me. Happy to get this pair now. I wear 8.5AA size --not so available or popular with arch support needed----which limits the shoe choices in a reasonable price range.

This shoe was just too stiff for me. The ankle collar came up too high and felt like it might be a problem. Cushion felt good. It also felt a tad short.

I bought v4 gray, and they were very comfortable with my orthotics. I wanted to buy them again but now its v5 and no gray. I bought them in white/blue in the same size as v4 but v5 runs a half size smaller. I returned them and waiting for the 10.5, hoping they fit.

The shoes are not very stylish and do not come in anything but black or white, but they are comfortable. I had to put in a heel insert since the top of the heel rubbed. Once they are broke in, I think they will be excellent!

I bought these shoes for cold weather walking. I usually size up in New Balance to an 11N, but I could have gone a half size smaller to a 10.5N. With my orthotic and an extra cheap foam innersole, the fit is fine. They are comfortable outside and on the treadmill. This is not a pretty shoe. It seems like it's meant to be a work shoe, but it is very functional.

These shoes where same size New Balance as I normally buy except they were stiffer than the fabric type New Balance athletic shoe. Because they were stiffer the toes felt a bit tight. I hope they stretch out a bit.

Very cushy but believed my feet would be in pain after a few hours of standing. Returned.

High quality but too heavy for walking

appearance was very good. Not good for walking, were too heavy for me. Short time wearing was OK. I did wear first pair so I did not return, but returned the second unworn pair. I always use my personal/prescribed inserts for arch support. Was easy to remove insole that came with the shoe.

The fit is odd, the front top of the shoe is wider than the same brand bought before Covid and the material is a bit stiffer than the New Balance shoes I've bought a few years ago.

for a sport shoe it is good. it is too heavy for me, hoping for light weight walking shoe. I did have foot surgery and was hoping this shoe would be better fit. I did order two pairs and will keep the pair I have used but will return unused pair. Most likely for someone else this shoe would be great.

I bought 806 and 608 and decided to keep 806.

The fit was not quite right for me. The shoes did not flex in a comfortable way when walking, so I decided to return them.

They are cute but not comfortable. I have lots and lots of New Balance shoes but these just aren’t comfy. Sorry.

I didn't like the way it looked on me.

Second pair of shoes returning, when I walk they ride up the back of my kneel.

Felt synthetic and cheap Width felt wider at the heel, not AA

The style was nice and the colors. However, I need more room at the toe. The heel was fine. Sosorry they didn't fit.
