Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I've used these shoes for YEARS. I love the way they feel, and they do get some good, long wear:) I was upset with THIS particular order, as I paid extra money to have it rushed to me, and it was late!

It seams that cheaper material was use for this batch. I have bought the 608 cross trainer for a while now The heal is thinner and the shoe itself seams thinner made. I hope the next one are made like they were before.

I originally bought these to use in rotation for work shoes cause I work on hard compressed concrete floor for 12 hours a day. These are not as cushioned as I thought they would be. They are a very nice, balanced shoe but these are not meant for long day wear.

Still a good shoe but I believe the have become smaller as I haven't grown for years

I had no other choice. My last purchase was 2E MW847WT3. WHEN WILL THIS MODEL OR SIMILAR BE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN WHITE.

When they say wide it does not really mean wide. Was not wide at all.

I ordered a pair of training shoes that were a half size too small. The return went smooth but I don't want to reorder because I won't receive the original order 10% discount.

The shoe is too narrow along the toes. Caused a big bruise under the big toenail. Have always bought New Balance 12 EEEE to get the wide toes, but these are more narrow than usual. Can't wear them.

Gave it a 3 star as I like the sneaker but returned it as, after lacing, it was too wide at top sides and my heel was slipping up and down. Went to NB store & sales rep. scanned my feet and this sneaker did not support my low arch, the sales rep. stated, so went with a different pair.

My kid was thrilled to have truly wide shoes. He busted the seam on the toe after a few weeks of wearing to school.

The shoes are fine. I just bought them too narrow. Should have thought about my bunions

I use the shoes for everyday and they do pretty good , but if I go for long walks there not as comfortable as my old New Balance. Not sure if they are still breaking in or not as much arch support.

They make my big toes hurt, but it may be a size issue. The NB outlet store would not measure my feet, which are changing, due to covid19. I traded in my usual size 13 for size 14, but they still hurt, so I will be returning them, again, a 50 mile round trip.

I purchased these online to be my everyday work shoes. I probably should have gone a half-size smaller, but they are comfortable and wear well.

I bought a narrow size but they where to wide & I'm Sorry sending them back. Thank you

I'm been buying New Balance for years and really like them but this pair is really bad. Got them a few days before vacation. Around the house they felt stiff. Well I thought it was going to loosen up while on vacation. My feet where killing me walking around the places we stopped at couldn't wait to get back and take these shows off. I've worn the same size for years and that's what I ordered.

I'm afraid this is the first pair of NB that I can't wear-- the shoe is incredibly hard-- the sole is hard. I should have bought a different pair-- indeed, I should have bought it in a NB store which we have here in NAples, FL. Sorry-- ordinarily NB is perfect for me.

The insole is terrible with this shoe The shoe is decent but I thought I was buying an American made shoe

I always get NB 608 & they are comfortable. I put these on & they hurt right away. I keep trying to break them in but they are stiff & hurt.

These didn't last that long support wise. Seems like material "softened up" rather quickly. Not matter how tight I pull the laces, the shoe feels loose. Have to retir them several times during the day to feel supportive.

New Balance has redesigned this leather shoe since I first started buying it when the shoe was the "608 V4", Now, it is less comfortable, does not hold up as well, runs half a size smaller, and is generally less satisfactory. I buy it because it is leather instead of fabric, but I am disappointed by the changes in quality and am searching for another leather shoe which might be better.

These Sneakers are just ok and nothing special. You can still feel the inside rubber through the very thin padding inside the sneaker.

I recently purchased a Training sneaker, #608, because #857 is not available. I'm returning the new sneaker because the degree of support does not compare to the #857.
