Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

The NB 600 series leather shoes used to be good quality shoes but not anymore. The last 3 pairs I purchased all wore out prematurely in the same areas. The stitching around the front toes always comes apart way before the soles are worn. I won't be buying them anymore.

I have long worn New Balance 624. No longer available so have ordered 608's in two sizes, neither of which fit.

I have been wearing new balance for many years - 813's and they were great. When I looked for them recently I couldn't find them so I ordered another one. I ordered wide which I have always done and when I got them, they were so tight they pinched my toes. I sent them back, very uncomfortable.

LL Bean does not know sneakers only good for clothing

No comfy

I ordered a 13-Wide. These do not fit properly. Even though they're marked as being a size 13, they fit like a size 12.

I bought two pairs of these sneakers save your money if you want an authentic leg brace cannot get them on over the brace

I bought these shoes a little under six months ago and the shoes are now seperated from their bottoms and I can stick my finger right through it

I have a high arch, wear a 6E and have been wearing New Balance for over 20 years. I have a supination problem, not a pronation problem. My current shoes are NB 624 which fit my feet just fine but NB no longer makes. The MX 608 does not come in a 6E. I am looking for a 6E shoe without a roll bar or any internal construction meant to help pronators. I would prefer a neutral shoe. It appears NB no longer makes a shoe that will accommodate my feet.

Sole of sneaker came unglued after two weeks of use. Would not purchase again. Company needs better quality control.

I have worn 608s for more than 10 years. It was and still is a great shoe; straight last, roomy toe, good heel. However, the several shoes I just purchased have "Comfort Insert"s that have all sorts of hard-to-notice-unless-you-pull-the-insert-out texturing and cushioning clumps that mess up the feel of the shoe for the bottom of the foot. For those of you that know this shoe (and most of other shoes I have bought from NB), the insole insert was flat and plain and just fine. I can't wear the shoe with this new insert so what to do? I've looked up NB insoles - there are 16 of them! and they all are close to the cost of a new shoe. A nuisance of time and money. I've reached out to NB but my question has been blown off. Am I the only one put off by this "improvement"?

I usually buy these shoes when i need a new pair. Purchased these shoes about 1 month ago and the right toe is separating already. not happy.

I bought these for walking but they are very uncomfortable. Not alot of padding and seem to run narrow. If you want sturdy sneakers these are for you!
