Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

The only brand shoe I wear,

It fits great

I love these - coming from the Puma NM Osu as my last favorites, I didnt know what to expect - but these completely fit the bill.

I like the looks of the shoe and that it is made of leather, which is warmer in winter, but the shoe is a bit heavy. It is comfortable though.

but I'd feel a lot better about wearing & paying MORE for them if they were made in the USA MFG's need focus on customer satisfaction & "product quality" instead of profit margins.

i wear a 10.5 but these xtra wide are so comfy and wide you'd want to consider going down 1/2 size or a whole size down i'd prefer these xtra wide 10 or even 9.5

Even though I ordered Size 10 Extra Wide, I feel they fir smaller than other New Balance shoes, I would order a size larger if I order again.

Good as Training shoe but not so much as walking shoe.

The shoes are great my 3 rd pair back now I'm old and having trouble converting them to slip on with elastic laces

I love this model of yours.I have been purchasing/wearing your brand for years without any issues. Please keep making the 608s.

They are my Planet Fitness trainers and some time walk the dog shoes. They are actually made from, are you sitting down? from LEATHER! Seriously, they actually fit and do not stretch and need retied during workouts. The leather allows my feet and me to feel secure.

I like the shoe as I have 2 pair just like them. The first pair I bought were nice until the soles turned yellow. Second pair and this pair are comfortable. The most comfortable shoe I have ever worn were the 411 Cush. Bought 3 pairs (I work on my feet and have foot and ankle issues) and I never felt the pain in my foot like I do with all the others. Why were they discontinued?

I've worn New Balance sneakers for a lot of years. The last two models I bought fit well but were discontinued when I went to buy a new pair. This is the new model I settled on. It's a little smaller than the last model so my right toes rub a little. Other than that they seem fine. The only other complaint is that the shoelaces are way too long. I had to cut them and buy new heat shrink ends to seal up the cuts. Otherwise they drag on the ground and get caught all the time.

Daily workouts on treadmill, leg machine and other exercises. Just a bit tight in the front.

I have trouble finding good sneakers in a wide width. New Balance has a good variety, which I appreciate a lot. Saw these and gave them a try. Very nice coverage... kind of a warm sneaker... good for walking in the colder weather. Been wearing them for a week now and now that they are broken in a bit, I'm liking them even more. I think they would be a little hot for summer, as they don't seem to breathe much. I noticed my feet were a bit hot in them indoors. Perfect find for Fall, Winter and Spring though. Very nice and stable sole/footbed for walking, which I do a lot of. Would buy again and would recommend for anyone who walks a lot. Good looking too!

Perfect design for cross training. Perfect style & fit. Excellent quality.

I had been order Extra Wide, ordered Wide this time, much better!! John

These shoes fit perfect. They arrived very quickly. Love them. Thanks you

Quality, fit and price

I have an issue with a bunion on my left foot and an ankle problem with my right ankle. As a result I had lots of problems finding sneakers that I could wear that were comfortable and supportive. I have been using New Balance sheakers for several years, and found that this brand not only was comfortable but allowed me to continue to exercise without a problem. I can even wear an ankle brace without discomfort and wouldn't purchase any other brand. They are a life-saver for me, and I am more than 83 years old, and have been exercising regularly since the 1960s.

I've been buying these for a few years, they are comfortable and durable. The soles out last the inner liner but still they are my favorite shoe.
