Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

My husband loves these shoes so much he buys two pairs at a time! He appreciates that the “608” style has remained true over the years. We’ll be back for more!

I previously had a pair of 608v4s which I loved (very comfortable). However I am very disappointed with v5 because the innersoles are not smooth. They have a textured pattern from heel to toe which you can feel when you walk. What were they thinking? Did anyone at NB actually try these on and walk around? I replaced the innersoles with commercial ones which also offer arch support, now very comfortable.

They feel small. They look good. I can't tell that they are not leather. I've worn NB walking shoes of various models exclusively for about 20 years and always ordered 9.5 4E and they always fit the same. My last pair, I decided to try the MX608v4 last year. To my surprise, they felt bigger than my usual 9.5 4E, especially in the heal cup. Now that they are wearing out, I decided to try the 608v5's. I was happy when I received them until I put them on. Within minutes, I was happy to take them off. They are small all over, especially the narrow toe box. The 608v5's have gone back. Thank you Zappos. What bothers me about New Balance is that every time I find a model that I like, the next time I need shoes, that model is discontinued and I have to find another model to buy. It's very frustrating. I'm now going to try the Nike Air Monarch IV.

Love that these are all leather.

Great reliable shoe by NB. I have tried others but always come back for the better fit and comfort

I purchased these for my husband, as per his request. He has worn this very style for years and it never disappoints him.

So comfortable. I love these shoes wont wear anything else.

This is my fifth pair of the MX608 shoes. Great shoes and one of the few I can find at 13 4E.

Fits like it should. I like new balances for work because I am on my feet walking for a minimum of 12 hours a day. The previous model of these lasted 10 months before having to replace them and I am happy with that. Also, I am over 400 pounds so for shoes to last 10 months its a win. I'd recommend them.

for anybody with duck feet (wide, wide wide) New Balance is our savior. My wife saw the ease and accuracy of your service and is now a believer /customer too.

SO far so good. I haven't had these very long but they seem to fit well and are very comfortable. Also the V5 design was improved for the white/team royal color. Overall I am very pleased with this purchase thus far.

They are nice shoes but had to return because they ran small. Tried to order larger size but they were out of stock.

This is my husband’s second pair and the only shoes that don’t hurt his feet
