It's built to last and with my 5 miles everyday I know these will last!

My recent experience with NB online purchase was excellent. The ordering process was straightforward, the product arrived when promised, and the shoes conformed to the description. I have worn NB shoes for decades and they continue with the quality and comfort I've grown accustomed to. Great product!

Whether I'm cutting the grass, grilling some burgers, or taking Sharon to Chili's. These will always be my shoe of choice.

This is the first pair I've ever had in the 608v series, so I don't know if the 4 was better than the 5, but my brown 5's feel great to me. I usually get size 12 4E, but the toe box was a little too pointy, so I went up to a 12.5 and they are perfect. They are such an upgrade from the running shoes I have been walking hilly forest trails in since discovering how therapeutic the woods are in this crazy time. They have good support without being too heavy, and the insole is cushioned enough for me, kind of like the ride in my Subaru Forester, not squishy, feeling the bumps enough to get a sense of being connected. This is easily the best pair of walking shoes I've ever had.

I need to wear sneakers that give me support and I can wear all day without having any problems with my feet. Your sneakers due the trick. I would recommend them to my family and friends.

Plenty of cushion in the heel.
Could have moved some of that cushioning to the ball of the foot.
Very stiff, feels more like a boot than a shoe. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected.
I wear these at work. On my feet quite a bit. My feet are OK at the end of the day. I bought these online with Trump money since the stores were closed. For ten more bucks you can have adidas superstars. I never would have bought these in a store after trying them on.

I have been wearing 608's for years. This v5 is awful! Hard as a brick on your feet and they've cheapened the materials. Not worth the price....

I ordered these as I needed more support than my current trainers were giving me. I found that support in these shoes. I ordered a half size larger as suggested and I wear a fairly thin sock and they are perfect.

I love the fit of the 608v5 tennis shoes. It has comfort and support. This my second pair of similar tennis (looks the same, fits the same, different number).

I went to 6 stores looking for my usual NB shoe and there was very little selection. Apparently MX519WG2 13 D is no longer available. I tried on a D width and thought it would be too narrow and ordered the 2E. Now that it is broken in, it's clear that it will be too wide. I should have ordered the D and dealt with it until they were broken in. Stores have limited selection and no one to assist. When you do find someone all they say is that they can order for you. I can do that.

Finally standing up straight from the feet up! I can buy my original size since the width is there.

I am a mailman and finally gave up on the shoes/sneakers that we have available at the store where we purchase Postal clothing etc!
We went to a New Balance store and found the pair I purchased!
Terrific is what I have to say!
Thanks!!!

I had this style for years and it was fine but these are too short! I should have ordered a half size larger so now I have shoes I will probably not wear very much!

I have worn this shoe for years and always order it when I need a new pair. I also buy this for my daughter. It is very comfortable right out of the box and is constructed well. I only wish more colors were offered. The last pair I got were purple, these are blue. I really liked my purple ones and would like to see that color available again. They are not the most expensive but not cheap either so very good for the price.

I have worn these sneakers for years. I have not been able to find them recently. I needed new sneakers during this pandemic. Bean's had them in stock and shipped them immediately. My feet love them.
