Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I use this sneaker at the gym. Have been wearing these for years however they weren't made very well this time. They have no support. I need a narrow so these are the shoe I have been wearing. There isn't much of a choice in narrow. Very disappointing.

I have purchased many shoes from you folks and the quality of this recent pair is not good. I have only been wearing them for two weeks and the sole of the right shoe has already come loose in the front.

So unbelievably uncomfortable. There was this weird part that kept poking me and the sole of the shoe was hard and unforgiving. Walked for 10 minutes in them and my back hurt worse than usual.

I walk 4-5 miles a day and this shoe is very uncomfortable and not enough arch support.

The shoe was not comfortable after two or three times worn. Returned

Didn't realize these weren't leather. They are also bulkier than I expected. I was looking for a sleeker, more low profile look. Unfortunately I will be returning these.

About a year and a half ago I purchased a pair of 608s for men and they fit great. I use them for playing pickle ball they were white. I recently purchased a pair of 608s for every day use the color just for reference was gunmetal. I'm very disappointed. The fit is very sloppy and when I walk they make a Popping sound. I'm a long-time purchaser of new balance sneakers and this is the first time I've been disappointed in a product.

Disappointed it was supposed to be the pink ones. Not the blue/gray. Pink/ gray is what I ordered

We ordered the size we wear but were a size too small. This isn't the first time we've dealt with this. Double check your shoes and sizes before you sew on the tags.

This is not my first time buying.I have a condition of fascitis plantar and i see how the shoes doesnt fit well and how they look at your third usage.They break lose stability of course by the material of no quality.This shoes for my kids 608 v5 black you can see the imperfections and damages everywhere.Also the no slip tecnhnology doesnt function.I think they took the good materials for the ones that sells by US made.its not fair.And i feel that is strategic of all fabricants because A ..cs equal.

I walk over 5 miles every day. The left shoe had a high spot under the ball of my foot. Both shoes had a small rise in the area between the toes and the ball of the foot, but the left was noticeably higher to the touch and very uncomfortable to walk on. I tried to print a return label but was told to call customer service. There was a long wait, so I took the shoes to the Schaumburg, IL store. I couldn't exchange them but they printed a label and said I would get my refund when the shoes arrived at the warehouse. I seldom buy shoes on-line. This was much more hassle than if I just went to a store. I called Customer service seeing a discount on my next purchase. They refused. I have bought New Balance shoes since the 1990s and have trained for and run in four marathons wearing New Balance shoe. I'm through. I will never buy NB again.

The shoes were too narrow. There was nothing wider in that style. Returned for refund

I received the shoes without the inside Comfort Insert that is part of and belongs inside of the shoes. I called customer service and asked if I could be sent the missing Comfort Inserts to the shoes, and I was told that the only thing I can do is to go online and proceed to return the shoes. I said that I was hoping that we would be able to remedy the situation by them merely sending me the Comfort Inserts. I was put on hold, and when the rep came back she told me that her supervisor said I could go online and purchase the inserts. I asked why would I do that when it is part of shoe? (The inserts they have online, are NOT the Comfort Inserts that are a part of this shoe.) I asked if the supervisor understood the problem. The rep said yes. I said this is wrong and asked to speak to the supervisor. I was put on hold for several minutes, the line was silent. I hung up when they started streaming loud music through the telephone because I did not feel like I was going to get anywhere. I sent an email through their website; however because they do not have a direct email for subjects such as this and I had to choose a different subject, I am not confident they will respond. You can see from the picture on the website what the inside of the shoe should look like my shoe has a ragged-edge piece of thin white fabric inside the shoe, not the pink Comfort Insert that is part of the shoe.

Planning to return for better fit. I am 8 1/2 D not sure how to order on line.

I pouches these shoes two pair one white one black just to receive the worse made product ever. I have worn New Balance for 40 year imported shoes will be the dearth of this once well made shoe company. both shoes are the same size, yet there not. sole on one shoe is narrower then the other. I can barley walk by the end of the day. the other pair just move freely and have worn out within three month's. I just ordered shoes from a replacement company that still makes there shoe in the US. SORRY New Balance but you should be apologizing to me for sailing sucha low quality product to me.

There was a extra material in the soul which was irritating. Also heel slipped. Returned. Always been happy with New Balance. Very disappointed

Bought these to replace my old NB 992's. They were size 14, but these were significantly shorter. Guess I need to go to a size 15.

I've worn this model of shoe since 2014 with great satisfaction. I walk many miles and have always been impressed with the quality of the shoe, since I still, on occasion, wear the first pair I ever purchased. Last June however, I purchased my third pair and was very disappointed. By October the soles had separated from the uppers on both shoes. I bought the shoes at a New Balance Outlet Store in Las Vegas which makes me wonder if outlet stores sell "seconds", or shoes that don't pass the factory inspector, or did I just get a bad pair of shoes?

I have always used New Balance. This pair that I got the right foot seems loose. The left fits fine. Not sure why this is. I wear them for work so I am on my feet a lot.

I wore these at church for a half hour before my arches began to hurt...a lot. I made it through the service (and the trip home) then I put away these and will NOT wear them again again without adding arch supports. My old New Balance walking shoes are on my feet now....they cost twice as much but at least I am not IN PAIN.

Shoes make a squeaking noise which Is driving me crazy!
