Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

Nothing wrong with the shoes but I've worn Brooks for years and like them better.

I would try a different style. the shoe seems snug.

There is no support for my arch. I had to buy a Dr. Scholls arch support to use. I just bought a pair of 624 and I love them. I tried to order another pair and they were out of my size...7N. Really disappointed in the 608v5.

Walking on hard surfaces such as walkways, stores and on carpet

one shoe is not wide enough. I wish the shoe came in xtra wide

Plenty of cushion in the heel. Could have moved some of that cushioning to the ball of the foot. Very stiff, feels more like a boot than a shoe. Not necessarily a bad thing but not what I expected. I wear these at work. On my feet quite a bit. My feet are OK at the end of the day. I bought these online with Trump money since the stores were closed. For ten more bucks you can have adidas superstars. I never would have bought these in a store after trying them on.

I had this style for years and it was fine but these are too short! I should have ordered a half size larger so now I have shoes I will probably not wear very much!

I received this pair of shoes before it showed they shipped, that is OK.

I have been a big fan of the model 608's for a number of years until this current version 5 was introduced. The toe box is way too narrow forcing you move up to a much larger size to compensate for this design change/flaw. I still have a pair of the 608v4 that I wear around the yard and these fit so nicely compared to the newer v5's which I've had to size up 1 1/2 sizes and they still don't match my old v4's. Be wary when purchasing these 608v5's

Fit is Ok. Ink of Printed label inside wears off and stains socks.

The last 2 pair of shoes I've purchased from New Balance have "run small" to the point they are uncomfortable to wear, so they've both gone to Goodwill.

I have been buying these for many years, the most recent pair that I bought seems to have less support in the arch, and is hurting my foot. I would return them If i could, but I bought them and didn't wear them for 2 months, so I am past the return period. I guess I will try some inserts, or see if they get better as they break in.

Cannot really comment - shoes did not fit, and I'm still waiting for a refund! Shoes were received by them on April 23rd

Disappointed with this version of the 608 shoe. This version has little padding or cushioning to it which gives it a cheap, stiff feel. This is labeled as version 5 and it is a stripped down version of the original very comfortable shoe that I bought years ago.

Casual use. Bought through the Norway Maine location, "Made in the USA." Disappointed to find they were made in Indonesia.

I had purchased a similar shoe about 10 yrs. ago. Was great, wore very well, looked "sharp" with long pants unlike "tennis shoes". They were nice and "cushy" when I walked. The "cushiness" was gone after 10 yrs. though the leather shoe still looked "new". That model is no longer but this one was the closest to those. I think the other shoe's toe box was more rounded - these seem a bit more "pointed". The other shoe had more of a "protective" strip around the toe box - these have a much smaller area protecting the leather toe box. Also, I think the sole of my 1st pair had more "cushion, spring" but these seem to be of a stiffer material, not so much "cushion, spring".

I'm disappointed . Tthe sneakers are a 10 1/2 D--my usual size, and the same size as my last pair of New Balance sneakers. But this pair is really cut too wide. In order for them to fit I have to wear 2 pairs of sox. Yes, the secondary pair is very thin --very light, black business sox. But the fact is my white cotton gym sox are not thick enough for me to wear this particular par of sneakers comfortably--and in the past they always have been. I love New Balance and I love Ll:Bean, but this pair really doesnt quite make the grade. My feet havent shrunk, I'm sure--all my other shows fit the same as they always do..

When I tried on the shoes, the shoe on my right foot seemed to draw my foot inwards like it was making my foot pronate. I had to return the shoes. I'm not sure if it was just that pair of shoes or the model itself. I have had many other NB shoes and did not happen.

the shoe runs lager then others it was to wide for me

This shoe has very soft leather that stretchs alot after a few times wearing.
