Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I was looking for a sturdy workout shoe, and this fit the bill! I really like the 608 model. They fit well and have excellent support. I have them in grey and black. I'm Very happy with my choice!

Size too wide

Would like single "e" width

these are my everyday shoes. i wear them for my walks, shopping, mowing, and yard work as they are very comfortable They are also the only tennis shoe I can afford that fits my narrow ankle. Being on a fixed income this is important along with the fact that they can last me for a good eight months before I buy another pair. Always have a spare pair on hand.

I do a lot of walking and these are really good on the feet, they are lightweight and wear well. They are true to size and fit really really good. I love the fact they are skid proof!!! I would for sure buy again!

Not sure if sizing is right one shoe is way loose than other. So they don't wear comfortable so may be returning.

Fit my feet perfectly!!

I have flat feet and these feel so good to stand and in.

I have a foot injury and have to use a custom orthotic. The New Balance shoe has room for the insert without cramping my toes, and the removable insole allows me to put it in.

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"?

Great shoes! I've always been a NB fan and have owned numerous pars over the years. The fit and comfort never fails and the pair is no exception.

Great shoe. Comfortable. Delivered quickly

I needed sneakers for jumping rope and these are great. Foam footbed provides a cushy landing for the ball of my foot and shoe is stiff enough to keep my feet stable. Ordered a half size larger than normal per reviews; leather is stretching a bit to allow for my thicker socks. Only downside: too white and old fashioned looking. I've updated a bit with new laces, but would love a less traditional leather color.

Very Supportive and High Quality. My podiatrist recommended these to prevent plantar fasciitis.

Could not get MX608 in all white in my 8.5D size. Settled for ones with a few blue markings because I have worn NB sneakers for 20 years because they are comfortable and need no break in time.

Best fit right out of the box, Comfort and support are Amazing.

Daily use and they fit Perfectly out of box. Always my got to for perfect fitting shoes with variety in sizes and widths

I bought a second pair as decided to use pair I have had for six months as more a work shoe for outside. Shortly after receiving new pair which are still in box, the sole on my left shoe has broken apart and glue does not hold. So certainly disappointed in this shoe and now wonder if I should send back the new pair due to poor workmanship.

Great dad shoe, love the comfort and design

I take a double wide 14. I could only buy the shoes I wanted by going to the USA. US New Balance would not ship to Canada. New Balance Canada would not carry my size. They did carry my size in another style. Nice being able get them without having to cross the border. They were even good as shoes go:)

My brother like the old style better! Why! Did you have to change it!

For whatever the reason this is the only type of sneaker I have worn for 15 years. They fit with my orthotics and as a senior citizen I like the feel when I walk.

For casual wear
