Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I recently bought two pair of these shoes and the fit is fine. I read a few reviews from people that had been wearing them for some time and there was mention of leather uppers being replaced by man made material. I can not say for sure but I believe that is the case so I am giving the overall of four stars. I also read the cushion support is not what it used to be and, again, that seems to be the case. I wear a 4E width so my choices are limited.

For this round of shoes I decided to try other brands. While I liked the look of other brands much better, the fit was never right. Finally went back to NB, and they fit like a glove. I just wish they were more sporty looking. For those who have had good luck with NB fit in the past, stop looking and go with these. Hope for style options next round

Ordered black & white, received all white, but my husband was happy with the fit and decided white would be okay.

Shoes are nice but they rise too high and rub against my ankles.

Fit was good, mostly the price was the right price.

This is the 3rd. pair of these I have purchased, but something changed from the last pair. I have been wearing these for 3 months and am always uncomfortable with them. They seem too small and sometimes hurt my feet. Maybe the source changed from where they are made.

I have a problem with the bottom of shoe. a shovel caught the underside where it came loose. I fell and sprained wrist because of that. I hope this pair doesn't come loose like the pair I will throw away.

I am still in the process of breaking the shoes in, but they seem to offer good traction and don't squeak on tile floors when sole is wet. The insole is removable. The included insole has a "knobby" feeling like they are supposed to massage or change pressure points. The arch could stand to be a little higher. I wanted a "B" width but these were only available in "D" and my foot does not seem to be flopping around inside of them. After wearing them for 4 hours, walking around in malls and other places, I got the usual break in foot pains, but the shoes did not feel hot or make my feet sweat. Overall, a good value for the price and they were one of the few shoes in my size (15) that were all white and under $100.

We tried 3 pairs of athletic shoes for hubby. He wears a 9 ½ Wide. He kept the other New Balance and a saucony but this one is going back. He says it was not nearly as comfortable and did not feel like a wide.
