Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I only wish these shoes came in 13 Narrow, women's size. Instead, I have to order men's size 11.5 and they are always too wide.

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

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.

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...

The 608v5 shoe seemed to be undersize by about a 1/2 a shoe size.

New balance is the only shoe I can purchase with style due to wide feet . I use them for everything from work to walking to working out .

Sneakers are comfortable. The availability of wide widths makes a big difference.

I bought this shoe for cross training purposes. To use for Zumba and pickle ball. I am used to the running shoe fresh foam x1080's so this was a different purchase for me. I found that the 680 wasn't as cushy as the 1080 but I guess that is to be expected. So far they are working out fine. The width doesn't feel quite as wide as the 1080's.

I shoes are nice, but this pair that I just purchased fit a little snug. I like the color of the shoes. They have a nice design .

I use these primarily for my morning walks and stair exercises. Sometimes I'll wear them all day just because.

Had my doubts about ordering online. But they were perfect! Would like to see more heel padding on the insole, small issue. Great brand, always get NewBalance never disappointed!!!

I have high arches, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis and heal spur. Makes it feel better. Still need a different shoe soon

These were a big surprise how comfortable they were out of the box. I bought these to work the bases in softball. Purchased the same size as my plate shoes. Sizing was consistent.

Loved the look when I opened the box. It got even better when I put the 608's on. An extremely comfortable walking shoe which is importan

Good for walking around and general use. I'm not a runner and needed general walking shoes

I ordered this pair of shoes for my son. He is 6'4" tall, and weighs in at a hefty 290 lbs. He is a power lifter, and wrestler. It is hard to find a comfortable pair of shoes for this gentle giant. He absolutely loved them! We will be ordering more when he is ready for a new pair of shoes.

I bought this NB because I wanted a leather outer for daily walks. This shoe is cushy but solid and a reasonable price point. The heel and ankle feel tight and secure. I also like the two tabbed laces across the arch for easier tightening and less lace slip. However, the toe box goes very wide at the bottom two laces and then a long wide toe box without an additional lace slot. On my foot, it means i can't tighten up the toe box which make me feel less secure. If i pull the bottom two laces tight then it pinches me at the lower arch instead of the ball of my foot or lower.

I would like to see all color combinations that way I could use it with different outfit

Shoe is just fine. The customer service reps could help me out quickly, but their hands are so tied by the protocols in place, that it took nearly 10 days to solve a problem that could have been handled in the first phone call, which btw, I was on hold for 45 minutes. I had four more follow up phone calls to solve my concern, all with minimum hold times of 10-15 minutes, some much longer. Just allow the rep to help the customer immediately if it is less than $25!!!

Sneaker is well made good ankle and arch support not a fancy design but pretty enough. So far it seems comfortable This shoe is a bit heavy and bulky. It needs to be made lighter.

I have very wide "Fred Flintstone" feet. These are good in 4E but I really wish they made 6E like they used to make. Don't understand why they stopped offering 6E width sneakers.
