Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I had a pair of 608v3 previously and when they wore out, I bought a more expensive walking shoe. I was not as happy with those, so went back and purchased the 608v5. I am very pleased. They fit well, and are true to size. I basically use them for walking shoes and they are supportive and comfortable. I am very pleased and will keep these on my buy list!

Pretty decent sneaker just for knocking around. It has noarch support. If you have Plantar Fasciitis like I do, a replacement is a must. I use a Finn Comfort Finnamic which is their soft insole. It’s very comfortable. Birkenstock had an even better one ..... their soft footbed ..... but they stopped selling it about 3 years ago. A decent sneaker but the NB 990v4 is light years better. Like walking on a cloud. I love the 990 ..... other guys don’t. I tried about 10 different styles of NB ..... thank you Zappos. Ended up with the 608 and the 990. To wear all day, I recommend the 990. A trip to the grocery store or to walk the dog, the 608 is fine. I ordered the extra wide. I usually take an “M” but the Finn Comfort insole squeezed the toebox Nd I was getting blisters. The slightly wider shoe fits perfectly. Never wore an extra wide in my 68 years until now. It really helped. Try it guys if you get frustrated. Worst that happens it doesn’t fit and you send it back .... free. I tried Nike, SAS, Mephisto .... a bunch. NB fit the best.

Idk what's going on with NB but these shoes are small and not as wide.

shoes feel apart when walking on wet ground

These were too narrow for me.

NB a little disappointed

Inconsistent manufacturing led to poor fit. I've had 3 pair of this model and with this order, the size feels at least a half size too large. Could not wear them.

it feels loose all over,i had a pair a long time ago ,and chose to get pair now,i really liked the pair before,am sorry but am looking for a other brand of shoe

DID NOT FIT

Length just ok. Footbed lumpy. Toe box tight, squeezes toes. Arch slightly high (because shoe is short?). Heel good. Ankle ok. Overall, fit is marginally small. Light weight. Appearance so-so.

These have been my go to daily wear for years. They're still good but not great as they used to be. Quality, materials are much lower quality than years past.

The fit was GREAT but the tounge had extra fabric that came down on the top of my foot and ruined the feel of the shoe.

Good quality

Even though wides were ordered and received they were too narrow and hurt my toes to wear

The width near the toe end of the shoe was good but the width on the heel end was almost equally as wide which is too much. My son's heels do not have the 6E width need that the rest of his foot requires. So, these shoes seem to fit good near his toes but are super loose on his heels. This causes his heels to slip out of the shoes with every step he takes despite the laces being tied. They are rubbing his heels because of it. It's strange because he has a pair of Nike 4E shoes that fit his heels perfectly but are too tight for the rest of his foot. I don't know if others have this issue but as for us we will have to return unless I can figure out a way to keep them from rubbing his heels.

Wherever there was extra padding or stitching there was extra pressure on my toes. There isn't much of an arch support or cushioning.

Size and fit were fine but back of shoe cut into my ankle bone. Could not wear it for any length of time.

I like this style of shoe, but it felt like it was marked a half size larger than it should have been, and when I got online again to look into returning and replacing it, I wondered if I accidentally got a men's size instead of a women's and that's what make the difference.

The shoe runs smaller, it hurts my toes.

Problem: cushioning primarily in in sole which I have to remove to accommodate orthodics. Nothing built into shoe itself

he primary problem is that most of any cusioning is in the removabel in sole. I have to take the in sole out to accommodate orthodics. The she itself is uncomfortable. No cushio ing built into the shoe.
