Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I always have around 5 or 6 pairs of New Balance shoes at a time because I wear them EVERY DAY - even to work. I LOVE New Balance, they are the ONLY shoes I wear.

The Shoes very Comfortable Light wight but great fit , great shoes lace lenght .

Walking, low impact aerobics, gardening, hiking & bicycling.

Purchased these for my daughter who has wide feet. Great quality work shoes.

The 608's are the most comfortable of all the NB shoes. Have them on now, Have been a NB customer for a long time. I always buy 608's when I can find them. Your wide widths are great best fit of any brand. Love NB shoes!!

Love the look, great quality and fit. New Balance is the only athletic shoe I buy.

walking--very very comfortable--thick soles will last a long time

couldn't be happier. this is my third pair of new balance and all have been very comfortable...

Unfortunately it seems something changed either with sizing, or materials used. The fit is not as comfortable as the 608 v4 I usually purchase. The 604 v4 I found was the best fit ever, but recently I cannot find it in colors other than brown, or chocolate brown. I want a pair of black 608 v4 and I cannot find them anywhere. Online or in New Balance stores. The 608 v 5 falls short as far as being as comfortable as the 608 v4.

So far they are VERY COMFORTABLE. I would order them again..

The "collar" of these shoes was too high around my ankles. After several steps around the house, it was clear that I'd have blisters. Otherwise, the toe box was comfortable and the heel fit well. I'm disappointed as I had hoped these would replace my very well worn LLBean walking shoes. They have to go back.

I do a good bit of walking and until I discovered NB shoes I had always had problems finding footwear that was both comfortable and supportive. Even though they're designated as 'trainers', these 608s can't be beat as a walking shoe. I've even worn the black ones to a few dress-up functions. They are basically a shoe for every occasion. And they're very attractive as well. I've been buying them for years and have yet to find an alternative. Well done, NB. And thanks.

Not as comfortable as version 4 however, seems to have more padding in the footbed. Heal cup is a little large. I would buy them again. Great shoe for the price.

walking, installed an additional liner, OK now, also dry in wet weather, still like leather in cool weather. may buy a ventilated lighter sneaker in warmer weather,I need a higher heel for chronic back problem

This is the third pair of New Balance walking shoes which I have bought. They provide excellent support and are very comfortable. I would have preferred to buy the shoes in an E width, but this was not available. I tried the EE width and found them too wide. The D width is a bit snug, but I wear them anyway. Otherwise, I have no complaints about these shoes. I recommend New Balance to anyone looking for walking/running/cross-training shoes.

I use these shoes when I don't want to go out in flip flops. They are very comfortable with a firm grip when walking.

Was looking for a subdued color and am very pleased.

Ordering to size online is sometimes tricky. New Balance always fits and supports so well. Worn them ever since recommended by a store clerk for my daughter for Volleyball, in 2000! No other manufacturers have met my needs, with great support for my high arches.
