Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

NB has done it again. This is my 3rd pair of NB (all different styles) for different uses. I still have not found a style that I consider "beaters". Nice job NB !

I have been a big fan of the model 608's for a number of years until this current version 5 was introduced. The toe box is way too narrow forcing you move up to a much larger size to compensate for this design change/flaw. I still have a pair of the 608v4 that I wear around the yard and these fit so nicely compared to the newer v5's which I've had to size up 1 1/2 sizes and they still don't match my old v4's. Be wary when purchasing these 608v5's

Yes, and I enjoy both my new pairs of 608's the white and the black there used for daily wear and walking.

I use these as walking shoes. They fit like a glove. (Insert Happy Face here).

I REPEATEDLY BUY THESE SHOES BECAUSE THEY ARE COMFORTABLE AND LAST. I HAVE WALKED IN SNOW ABOVE MY SHOES BUT MY FEET REMAINED DRY AND WARM. HOWEVER, I PURCHASED A DIFFERENT STYLE THAT WAS TOO NARROW AND AM FINDING IT DIFFICULT TO FIND THE STATUS OF MY RETURN. ORDER NUMBER WAS NS9382481 AND THEY WERE RETURNED ON 6-2-20. UPS VERIFIED THEY WERE DELIVERED.

I buy the same New Balance shoes every year twice a year, two pair at a time. Those are the only two times a year I go inside a mall, and they're the only thing I purchase. It's always painful fitting the new orthotic inserts into the new shoes, but I wear alternate pairs each day. Within a week, the two pairs are broken in well enough for me to wear to work every night without pain. That's an advantage because I am on my feet all night long

This is the third time I purchased this model. They run true to size and last a long time

I play pickle ball these shoes preform great on court.

My husband does a lot if walking during the day. He wears these sneakers exclusively. They are comfortable and wide enough for his foot. A Godsend for my husband. Keep making them!

Great shoe even for just walking! Would buy again.

I wish the 608 also came in gray or blue. I can only get it in white or black, and they look like Dad shoes.

Just what my husband has been looking for. Comfortable and look great

Exercise walking! Perfect shoes for beach walking!

they fit great but i ordered 2 pair and only need 1 so sending 1 pair back

Fit is Ok. Ink of Printed label inside wears off and stains socks.

I've been wearing these for years. I have a wide foot with a high instep and it's difficult to find a shoe that is comfortable. This one does the trick!

I am on me feet 12 + hours a day. I ordered a white pair for everyday & black for work.

I bought these to play tennis in. I have used 608's before and liked them. This version seems a little less stable than the last ones I had. In the past the shoe has worked well for me but it does ware out quickly. The shoe I liked the best was the 608 but the the new version of the 608 has changed..

However cushioned insoles that match are a must. The best ones were discontinued by NB.

I bought 2 more pairs because I believe they are not only comfortable but are good for my feet. I never have a problem with these shoes and wear them almost every day.

I have always been a fan of NB but have had a hiatus from high impact sports. These are sure to bring comfort in all my activities!

Nice shoe, very attractive and comfortable, fits well. Not up to the standards of the original 928 shoe, but about half the price. Downside, made outside the USA, but at least it's not made in China.

The last 2 pair of shoes I've purchased from New Balance have "run small" to the point they are uncomfortable to wear, so they've both gone to Goodwill.

Use this as a house shoe. Never worn away from the house in 2 years. They look like brand new except for the sole peeling away from the uppers. Only gave them 2 stars for the comfort. I have a pair of NB 624s that are over 6 years old & soles are still intact. In all fairness, I had a pair of Nike Monarchs do the same thing in one year, & absolutely will never buy them again either.

The fit was perfect! I read the label off my old sneakers and bought the new ones and off I went walking! No problems with fit, slipping heals or rubbing!
