I have been wearing NB 608 shoes for over 15 years. I am so disappointed in the newer version. I have an old pair of the 608v2 and the soles have held up on them so much better than my 608v5 that I purchased in February. I have heel spurs and my Podiatrist recommended these shoes to me. They don't hold up like the older versions do. Just so disappointed you pay for may more than you get in quality.

I keep buying this model of New Balance sneaker since they fit so well and last a good long time. I walk around five miles a day, and get about six months use before they begin to loose support.

So far, my shoes are comfortable on my feet. I wanted to purchase a pair of just the 605 tennis shoe, but can't seem to find them anymore. Due to Hurricane Michael, we no longer have a shoe store who carries just the plain 605.

Got 2 pair of New Balance flip flops yesterday. They arrived really fast & fit perfectly, as do all of my New Balance shoes. Most comfortable flip flops ever!

You're not going to find anything better for the price. Fit is exactly as advertised., and I like the all-leather version of this shoe

I don't live in New Balance sneakers. I also own several pairs of New Balance walking shoes. I've worn other brands I like pretty well, but I've also worn some I didn't. Wore one very popular brand for a month and had plantar fasciitis for 6 months afterward. Not saying it was a bad shoe, just not suited to my feet. 623s are my mainstay, thought I'd give this model a try. So now I have two mainstays. I like the consistency of the brand--so far, if one model feels good, every other style in that size has also felt good. I'm not giving up my regular retailer, but buying online is also a nice convenience.

These shoes look good,and feel fantastic. The width makes for comfort , while the support makes walking a pleasure.

Had to return the first pair cause they were tight on my toe. Went up a size and these feel really good with noticeable arch support.

I usually get the 608v4 but it's was discontinued so I tried the new 608. The toe box was too narrow and I was not comfortable with the insoles. The D width was fine in general but not in the area of the toe box. I really miss the 608v4.

My son has another style of New Balance (and some other brands) that are 10 1/2 EE. We ordered the same size for this pair and they were huge, so went down to a 10 - again, way too big - width and length, so I've given up and will try something else.

Good looking shoe at a great price, but ran smaller than my other NB’s. Insoles definitely should be replaced. Regretfully, Returned shoes for refund.

I need shoes with a super wide toe box. I called NewBalance and they told me that the MX608v5 had an extra wide toe box, so I ordered them in 13 4E. These were some of the most narrow sneakers I've tried on in years. I don't know if it's NewBalance's new standard, but if it is, I need to find a new brand for wide shoes. Any suggestions?
