Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

Thanks to New Balance, I can live my life. The sneakers are the best.

Nice enough shoes that, unfortunately, I need. They are easy-in easy-out for both my feet and my orthotics. But beware that not all 2E's are created equal, not even within New Balance. I have other New Balance shoes which just don't fit the same, not wide enough for the orthitics and not so easy-in easy-out. So you need to know your shoes!

I really love that they have wide fitting shoes. I bought these because they have leather on front and with the mesh ones my toe always makes a hole. These shoes give alot of support and fit my orthotics easily. They are so comfortable. I wish they would come in other colours ...they are only white or black. I will be buying my shoes from new balance in the future because of their wide sizes.

I have over pronation (flat feet) and was told to try Sketchers. I did and I wasn't impressed. I came back to New Balance.

After just a day or two they broken really nice. The crossovers are comfortable and fit perfectly

I have been searching for a good work shoes and i have returned a couple of ones already!! Good thing i have found this one coz its so comfy, i have a trial shift at work and my toes did not hurt at all, its anti slip and i can wear them even outside work coz its really cute!!! Im a size 6/2 but ordered a 7 instead and it fits perfectly!!

I work in IT at a large university and cover a lot of ground every day. A great pair of sneakers would work great, but my shoes have to look a little dressier than sneakers. These fill the bill perfectly! The positives are that these are super comfortable, supportive, slip resistant, and meet dress requirements. This is my 4th pair of these (or its predecessors). I get about 3 years out of each pair, and that's with putting a lot of mileage on them. The only negative is that when the soles are wet (coming in from outside), they make an odd squeak when walking on polished concrete flooring.

My husband has been wearing this shoe for years, I am so happy I can find it here on the site.

Nice, well made shoe, however, something in the inner construction of the left shoe, a section of leather, or the stitching, rubbed constantly against my bunion, and was very painful. The support was good, and I had no problem with my right foot, but even with the wide toe box, it was too painful on my left foot to wear for any length of time. I've been buying New Balance sneakers for years, but a different number, which they apparently don't make anymore. Hopefully, I can find success with a different number that feels good on both feet, as New Balance is a good shoe.

Compares well with previous product #624. The tongue is short - takes effort to get strings over it. Heel has two high points for stabilization which make putting shoe on difficult. Otherwise shoe seems stable.

A very light and comfortable sneaker. great for walking or working out.

Very comfortable. I wear them to work, and also just for day to day.

Everything was great about the sneaker.and I love it.

Great shoe, good design which stands out against the others.

My everyday shoe. Active old lady...buys a new pair, retires one pair to the garden shoe, that one moves down to painting shoe. Great with an insert for Plantar Fasciitis. I walk for more than a mile each day and this is the shoe for that too.

Updated my old pair because I love this shoe. Comfortable and wear well. Offer good support.

Great fit, very comfortable for my 78 year old arthritic and bolted back!

Walking and everyday. I am finding the feeling a little tight.. I use your model 990 for my series exercise

My husband needed a pair to replace his previous workout shoes also from LL Bean. They lasted several years so he updated the style and bought the same brand. New Balance serves him well.

I could not be happier with my new NB shoes. Buying on line was secure and the service was great. There was no hassle about going in and trying on. I had the information as to size and style from a previous purchase so I merely duplicated that for my new purchase.

I like the shoes LOT Any chance you have a 608 available in either canvass or swade ?

I walk 2.5 miles every evening and these walking shoes are fantastic and give my feet the support they need.

New Balance is my "go to" for walking footwear. I have very narrow feet (the only thing narrow on me) that are changing as I age - arthritis. I got the medium and the toe box being wider allows my feet the necessary room needed for comfort and my orthotics. Laced-up secures them on my narrow heels so I'm good to go!

Bought these for my kids gym class. He loves them. What's another pair for walking around.
