Very disappointed in the comfort of the inner sole. It feels like your feet are standing on a slab of concrete. Don't know what happened to New Balance. Never used to have this issue. Been buying this brand for years.

I purchased these shoes for my son to replace an older model of the same shoe.

It took almost a full week of constant wear to break these shoes in. Not enough cushioning.

Excellent men's sneaker offered in a Double E width. Just wish LL Bean would offer some outstanding "leather" sneakers for women in a Double E width as well.

Shoe did not fit properly. Also the description said suede upper. Most of the upper is man made. Would be nice if the inside told you that is was mostly man made. It just said fabricated in Indonesia

This is a good shoe. The one I actually wanted was not available in my size, but this one was in the size I wear.

Awesome, long lasting comfortable shoes. Keep your high quality shoes. When so many are going to a poured one form shoe it is awesome to see you sticking to quality.

I really wanted these to work for me. They were really cute, and they seemed to be the closest to some of the "classic" New Balance shoes I used to wear. But as soon as I tried them on, I knew they weren't going to work. There is a thick seam right over where my bunion is on my left foot, and I knew that spelled trouble. In addition, the memory foam in the insoles has a very strong chemical smell to it. I had forgotten what that smelled like, but remembered when I had ordered a memory foam topper for my bed once, I had the same problem. I had to return them due to these 2 issues.

This shoe has wonderful support and a great response to my body while I walk. The non-slip soles provide great traction and confidence while walking on slippery or uneven surfaces. I highly recommend this product for the avid and occasional walker.

The on-line said extra wide but the shoes came in EE. I wear an E and they are really too wide for me. Now I won't buy on-line. If it said EE in the listing, I would have looked for a different shoe.

I wear NB all the time and have always been satisfied with them. This time is no different and they wasted no time sending them to me. Fast efficient service.

My Bad! I have this same shoe already but wanted a new pair. Could not read the size on the old pair and thus ordered the wrong size. Will reorder same as a new size (and maybe a new color). I love NEW BALANCE!

I've been looking for a pair of leather cross trainers for the colder months. I really like these but I do wish the insoles had a bit more padding. I will be replacing them with different ones.

NB 608s have been my go to shoe for decades. 608v5 seem to have a little more arch support, closer to the original. I wear rx orthotics but still need a supportive shoe. Flat feet. Great product, Made in USA.

I'm have plantar fasciitis on my left heel. I've tried several inserts (foam and cork) which eased some of the pain. These shoes really helped me. I hardly feel anything in my heel whe I wear them. Let de saver for everyday 5 mike walker. Ugly though!

This 18 wide shoe fits my teenage son very well. He is 6'8" and 350 lbs. The only downside is that the insoles are thin. We have searched for more comfortable insoles to put in the shoes, but haven't had much luck.

This is probably my 8th pair of this model sneaker over the past couple of years. The fit is perfect. I generally have little options considering my wide width. I would recommend this shoe to all. The service is great.

I usually wear size 10 but I had to get size 10.5 for these and that size feels a tiny bit too big but not too bad. I don't love how they look but I mainly got them to wear while walking on my treadmill and because they are big enough for me to be able to put in my orthotics.
