Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I return the shoe. I've been wearing New Balance for many years. What in the world did they do to there product? The fit was terrible.

They look good. Only had them 2 days now, feel comfortable. Had to replace the insert for more arch support. Tried about 5 other pairs before settling on these. Thank goodness for Zappos free shipping and returns. They do a great job.

Good fit and looks. I preferred the absorb insoles that used to come with this model.

This 608 version has a widened toe bed which makes the shoe about one-half inch larger. A better shoe than the v4, but still not equivalent to the earlier versions, v1 & v2. Compared to the prior version, feet are better stabilized, but the padding doesn't provide much cushioning.

Ordered 2 pairs exactly the same size. Returning the one that was shorter (too short) than the other.

Fit well , so far so good on comfort after 10 miles

These are really nice looking sneakers. They fit perfectly.

Good fit and moderate comfort

My son has another style of New Balance (and some other brands) that are 10 1/2 EE. We ordered the same size for this pair and they were huge, so went down to a 10 - again, way too big - width and length, so I've given up and will try something else.

My husband was very happy with the shoes!We will order more..He has a very wide foot and they are very hard to find..

This are one of the few show I can wear with out pain. since the last time I bought these shoes in a store the retail price went up by twenty dollars and I have not been able to find them on sell either. it was nice to find the same item cheaper on Zappos

good fit

They feel small. They look good. I can't tell that they are not leather. I've worn NB walking shoes of various models exclusively for about 20 years and always ordered 9.5 4E and they always fit the same. My last pair, I decided to try the MX608v4 last year. To my surprise, they felt bigger than my usual 9.5 4E, especially in the heal cup. Now that they are wearing out, I decided to try the 608v5's. I was happy when I received them until I put them on. Within minutes, I was happy to take them off. They are small all over, especially the narrow toe box. The 608v5's have gone back. Thank you Zappos. What bothers me about New Balance is that every time I find a model that I like, the next time I need shoes, that model is discontinued and I have to find another model to buy. It's very frustrating. I'm now going to try the Nike Air Monarch IV.

Fit well. A little stiff but they will break in.

I bought these for my son, it's hard to find the right size of shoe. He tried them on and said they fit his feet good, and they are comfortable.

I bought these for my husband. He loves New Balance shoes because they come in wide width. These new ones in EE width fit him perfectly. He likes the "new" cushion insoles -- he says they feel springy. He also bought a pair in all black that he wears to work on casual dress day. He walks up and down stairs and is very comfortable in his new shoes. If you need a wider width, New Balance is the only option.

Good shoe because it's not a Nike.

We ordered these shoes in white and black in size 9.5. The white shoes fit perfectly and were comfortable but the black ones were definitely a little shorter and narrower, so beware that quality control was a little off in these shoes.
