Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I would like longer shoe laces. Not sure why I have to have more characters....

Good solid tennis sneaker with good value Long lasting

Very good wearing shoe. A couple of years ago, I got a pair that didn't feel as though they had the support I was used to. I bought 2 pair this time, one for good and one for work. One of the pair again does not feel as supportive as the other, and my body feels it. I'm not sure what is going on, have they redesigned the shoe and it's not as expected, or did I just get a dud . . .

I use the New Balance Shoes for walking exercise in the morning and afternoon

I have a D width women's feet. Lately having foot pain. I tried these shoes with a shoe insert and they are relieving the pain. Very happy and hard to get wide tennis shoes.

I wear a 4E and sometimes the shoes are not true to size in the width. These are so I bought another color. Very good value. Only 4 stars because the leather is not as supple as other shoes I have received from NB.

I have always loved New Balance shoes. The new design is nice. I find they seems a little bigger than normal. But they are awesome!!

I had a pair of these shoes before and they were great. I was very happy to find new ones online with my special size (9.5 4E).

Comfortable shoes. White for the summer. Functional for my needs.

I recently purchased a pair of 608s and experienced pain in one toe (right foot next to the smallest) and this had never happened before. The pain was quite severe and persisted for over a week so I've been using an adjustable shoe tree every day for a week to stretch it out. Today I'm not experiencing the pain so the shoe tree stretching may have solved my problem (fingers crossed). I will continue to buy New Balance and will consider ordering a half size larger the next pair I I buy.

I bought them mainly for work and It is my first time wearing shoes with your comfort insole. They came in with one of the insoles popped out and that shoe gave me some fit problems for a while. After I broke them in they were comfortable however if you work a job wear you standing a lot I wouldn't recommend them because the insole puts unnecessary pressure on your foot in places it doesn't need. If I hadn't had to used them and wore them for so long, I would have returned them for a wider size to see is my comfort level would be different. But overall it's a good shoe with a insole that you have to get used to wearing. Size 12.5 2E

Fit well even on my narrow feet. Well cushioned making long walks easier on the feet.

Pro: Cushy sole, very comfortable Con: narrow toe area

This is a nice shoe the only reason I couldn't give it 5 stars is because even though they are suppose to be 4E wide they get to narrow around the toe so the not to comfortable on the sides of my toes.

Comfortable. Like other 608's but seem to be a bit stiffer.

I had bought a pair of 608 for myself at an online store, and my wife also wanted a pair. When I found that a NARROW was available NB direct I ordered these. I particularly liked the ease of tracking, we had had some problems with packages at our rural mailbox complex being marked delivered but not received. So knowing the day it would be there put me right at the mailbox when the package arrived.

My goals were to find a less expensive shoe than I usually buy, narrow width, and something in a neutral color. As those of you with a narrow width know, our choices are a bit limited when it comes to color. Check off all three requirements. Overall, this is comfortable, but the shape of the toe box is not as rounded as I would prefer, so I am hoping, since these are suede-y that they will soften up and stretch out a bit over time. The 10.5 was true to size. I thought the heel area felt a little loose, but putting in my orthotics helped with this. (Not relevant to this shoe, since it is my first try at this model, butI share the frustration of so many other NB buyers when it comes to various styleswhy the constant need to "improve" on something that is highly reviewed and meets the requirements of so many buyers...and end up with a product that is not as satisfactory?)

Great fit, but I walk 80-90 miles a week, so I want to see if they last as long as the more expensive New Balance shoes previous to these!

A little too wide.comfortable sneaker. Nice look, I'd buy them again.
