I have foot problems and must use orthotics in all shoes. The foot specialist recommended a stiff sole shoe, but not only did I need a stiff sole shoe, but I need a one that would also help with foot rolling inward. This shoe is perfect for my needs. I would like for the toe box to be a bit wider, but in spite of that detail, I think this is a great shoe for training and my foot problems!

The shoes look great and are a perfect fit. The material is soft and feels good. I will purchase again when I need them.

the inside of the shoe under the tongue is really rough construction -- almost painful

These shoes have been super comfortable but I just noticed a hole wore through and now the inside of my shoe is coming apart. I have never ran through a pair of shoes so quickly.

This shoe has legit no traction; wet pavement, fresh mopped floors--I was constantly slipping. There is no arch support and an overall lack of support (and this is with a custom orthotic added).

Great shoe. I have been buying this and previous generations of this shoe for more than a decade. Good width, good padding, easy to remove insole if you have orthotics. Overall a great shoe at a fair price.

I have wide feet and use custom orthodics. So, I pull out the insoles they come with and put in my orthodics and slim pads. VERY comfy shoes. I've bought them before and will buy them again. Just hope they keep making them or something similar.

Also buy skechers and keen

This is my fourth pair of 608s... they are very useful for my very wide feet (4W's)...
I do not notice (on a few days of wear) any difference between v4 and v5 -- they feel the same and look the same...
but I haven't had them for long, so there's the risk that I haven't uncovered an issue, yet...
Still very content so far -- and these are far more comfortable than four other brands that I tried (hoping for a bit more stylish shoe than these -- which do, admittedly, look like Dad shows)...

Very comfortable shoes, I'm getting older and need these shoes for my BBQ's...just kidding. But since I hit my 40's I need better support and comfort and these do the trick. But they didn't last as long as other brands, the sole started coming off way before the life of the shoe was over. Since then, I have read many complaints on the same issue. If they get this resolved, I would definitely purchase another pair.
