Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

Great shoes for weights and gym workouts. They offer support in all the right places and prevent your feet from sliding out "the side" when doing for example side lunges. They were comfortable from the moment I put them on, and I will be ordering another pair soon to have as a backup.

So far very pleased. Comfortable, light weight and orthotics fit in with no problems. Also have 608 in black. Equally as pleased.

I have gone through three pairs of 624s... But apparently they are no longer available.... Hopes are high that these 608s will do as well or better. White color and not too bold logo or decorations is what I want in addition to all day comfort.... So far so good...

Comfortable, walking shoe , fits good, light weight. I will likely purchase this shoe again!

I received the shoes without the inside Comfort Insert that is part of and belongs inside of the shoes. I called customer service and asked if I could be sent the missing Comfort Inserts to the shoes, and I was told that the only thing I can do is to go online and proceed to return the shoes. I said that I was hoping that we would be able to remedy the situation by them merely sending me the Comfort Inserts. I was put on hold, and when the rep came back she told me that her supervisor said I could go online and purchase the inserts. I asked why would I do that when it is part of shoe? (The inserts they have online, are NOT the Comfort Inserts that are a part of this shoe.) I asked if the supervisor understood the problem. The rep said yes. I said this is wrong and asked to speak to the supervisor. I was put on hold for several minutes, the line was silent. I hung up when they started streaming loud music through the telephone because I did not feel like I was going to get anywhere. I sent an email through their website; however because they do not have a direct email for subjects such as this and I had to choose a different subject, I am not confident they will respond. You can see from the picture on the website what the inside of the shoe should look like my shoe has a ragged-edge piece of thin white fabric inside the shoe, not the pink Comfort Insert that is part of the shoe.

I liked the construction...looked a bit clunky, but i fully expected them to be super comfy when wearing. that was not the case. Both shoes had a strange feel to the outside portion of the sole...felt like extra matter was in the sole that caused my feet to 'lean outwards.' I wanted to like the shoe but just couldn't get to that point. So i returned them.

I ordered a size 11 4-E and the fit is perfect day one. My only form of exercise these days is walking and these shoes fit the bill perfectly. And they look sharp.

I walk several miles a day for my job and these are the absolute best shoes I have found for walking. Light and comfortable. I have tried other popular brands but nothing touches these New Balance shoes.

My husband and I have worn nothing but New Balance shoes for years. The pair shown here are an 8 wide and this is my 3rd pair. I love them and they are so comfortable. I walk on rough streets and they wear forever. I've even washed mine in the washing machine and they come out looking like new. NB makes a great shoe at a great price.

90% of my walking is the treadmill these days. I average 4 miles per day. Takes about an hour. On pavement walk. Outdoors it takes 80 minutes. I'm retired. Age 84. Know your company for at least 40 years. Always top quality. Still is.

Fit is good and glad nb offers wide variety but very minimal choices and I really like alot of the shoes that don't come in wide. I would like to buy more but only like the shoes that don't come in wide

I use my sneakers for work and they perform very well.

Great walking runners Recommend for long walks.

I like the style of shoe I ordered. Looks great, the wide fit is very good. Thank you

Walking and bike riding. Because they are great looking , I use the for casual events

great fit look good not nice making one type so much

These were my first pair of new balances and I'm pretty disappointed with them. After just a few weeks of wear the sole started coming away from the main body of the shoe in one place. Now after a few months it has come away on both shoes in multiple places. For the price I expected a better made shoe. Clearly the glue / sealant being used is not good.

Very comfortable, and I wear them almost every day.

The 608v5 shoe seemed to be undersize by about a 1/2 a shoe size.

New balance is the only shoe I can purchase with style due to wide feet . I use them for everything from work to walking to working out .
