Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

There is no bounce and the feel real flat. I only wear new balance and don't like this one.

However, this shipment came complete with a load of hugh cockroaches. I have lived in LA for 30 years and this is the first time I have seen this type of cockroach. I will think twice about ordering again from new balance. ALthough my cats loved chasing the bugs.

Ulike the 409 New Balance sneaker which is No Longer Available .. it was the Perfect Fit Unfortunately, my newly purchased product 608v5 is very uncomfortable ... The 608v5 is NARROW in the TOE AREA & INADEQUATE in the TOE BOX height - NOT high enough to comfortably accomodate my toes. And I wear a D width and it is too tight! I WOULD LIKE TO RETURN THESE 2 PAIRS OF 608V5s & GET A REFUND!!! Would definitely NOT recommend!!!!

I am replacing two pair of many years old 608's that I work outside in. I also have 2 psir of 990's that I love. I would have bought another pair of 990's but need an all leather pair of shoes. The leather on the new 608's where the laces start on the toe looks like it was too wide and puffs up. The right side of the left shoe does not look right. The sole is stiffer than I remember with the previous new 608's and are not as comfortable. I will keep these since they are for outside work. But will look for another shoe the next time.

My mother ordered these sneakers she usually wears 7.5. They were way too big for her both wide and long. I have been using them. I usually require 7.5 wide and still these shoes are too wide. I have to lace them so tightly that I had to cut a good 8 inches off the laces and the toe buckles as i have to lace them so tightly. And I have wide feet! They are also more like a size 8.

I have worn NB for many years and I have always had a great fit. This is the first time I purchased online and only because of coved -19, and the shoe is very uncomfortable.

Nice looking but did not fit well at all. Too much room for my narrow foot.

Way too long to get refund on return. If order to get refund to buy the next size will take a month!!! Also was told cannot return to a local store.

to tight to busy of a shoe, not fit not like not like

Not a comfortable replacement to the 623, hurt my feet...

Unfortunately the shoe was too tight around my toes and i sent them back. I look forward to seeing a refund on my credit card. I will try again in the future as I rarely can find a black 10.5 4EE shoe in my local stores.

No cushioning, feeling like walking on cardboard. Very disappointed.

This was not good. The fit around the ball of my feet was so tight, the leather upper would never have stretched for a decent comfortable fit. Normally I buy a size 10 in this type of shoe, so I ordered a 10.5.. Still too tight. Walking feel was not what I expected.

right side of m y left foot, really took a hurtin, needs some very gradual braking in period

They are supposed to have the nice comfortable memory insole, however they feel like I'm walking on rocks. These could be a bad pair, but I certainly prefer the 619s, which never seem to be available in the size I need. Time to try a new shoe brand?

I'll be sending them back. I have another pair of this same style (608v4w) that fit perfectly. These 608v5's do not. They were way too tight across the ball of my foot. SO I'm very disappointed.

I wear these shoes every day, and 608v4 fit perfectly. I bought v5 and could not wear them for eight hours. Something's changed across the ball of the foot. The toe box is looser and allowed my foot to roll when walking. I bought these for a walking trip and could barely make it through the grocery store.

I bought my 608's on August 11, 2019 and today is September 23, 2019. They have already worn away on the inside wall by the heal. I don't get it. They're just about six weeks old. Too bad, now I have to be honest and tell other consumers about poor of quality of the shoe. I've always wore New Balance for decades. They were my "Go To shoe " but not any more. :(

I order the 608V5 in Black size 9 2E. Upon the first lace up, one lace loop on the right shoe pulled out immediately. I returned the shoes. New Balance: PLEASE bring back the 608V4 mid height, one of your BEST all around designs.

The left shoe was slightly smaller than the right! Or, maybe the right was slightly larger. In either case, both shoes were too short (the left, slightly more so). I had to send it back.

This was my 3rd purchase of a 7W shoe. My previous two purchases fit perfectly. This shoe is so big, it was uncomfortable to wear. The sides did not support my foot at all. It was much, much wider than a regular wide fit shoe. I have since returned the shoe and gone into the store for a fitting and to purchase a new trainer that fit better.
