Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

It is almost impossible to get wide shoes so it was great to go direct to New Balance.

I've ordered these shoes before, and in the past they've offered 4E as an option in width and I wish it were still an option. They are a little narrow for my feet, which are wider than most. Having shoe salesmen in our family, I have an old fashioned shoe stretcher which I placed in each shoe overnight, and it really helped with the fit. If your feet are of average width, they'll probably fit you just fine. Overall, they're a great shoe.

Having these shoes make my daily walks easier and better been wearing New Balance for years now

I use to product to workout on the treadmill. I also do the P90X workouts and utilize the shoes. I like the plain but professional look of the shoes. They appear to be made very well. I hope they last as well as they look.

Unfortunately, I ordered WIDE width, didn't see C or D offered . Was sent D - too wide. Have to return. Had to buy others.

Purchased NB 9 wide in a different style last year, made in the USA, and they fit great and are very comfortable. I was looking for a leather athletic shoe for the winter months. Ordered the 9 wide in this style and the length was fine, but the toe area really isn't wide, not even close. Very disappointed and sent them back. Seems there is no consistency in the NB shoes. Compared the 2 different styles and there is a big difference in width. Wide should be wide!

Have arthritis in both arches. These are the ONLY shoe that helps me get through the day walking on concrete all day. Don't ever stop making them please :)

I had to return these because at a size 10 which is my usual size I could not even get my feet in them. They are a size nine at the most, maybe even smaller. Returned two weeks ago and still waiting to hear about a refund. Disappointing transaction in two different ways.

My son is an athletic, active freshman in highschool and thanks to New Balance wide running shoes are no problem and easily acquired. He attends a charter school and can have only plain neutral colors white, gray, black navy... He wanted white but ones that he thought looked cool--and they do! The downside is after 4 days they were no longer white on the cloth area of the shoe instead they were gray and dirty. Despite my 3 applications of water proofing tent/camp spray the dirt was a bit difficult to remove, required soap water and a brush. The did not come completely clean but passable. I think these are better for someone who does not play outside and uses them for running or nondirty errands. Next time I will resist his suggestion and get a pair that is all ready gray in color

They fit like they are special made just for my problem arthritic feet.

I have been wearing New Balance shoes for many years now and I have always been happy with them

After little use and no abuse, the shoes are starting to fall apart. This was unexpected. The sole of one of the shoes is beginning to separate at the toe.

Comfortable and durable for all ball hockey surfaces.

I love these sneakers ! Great support and stability! the 608 is great i'm 6ft, 4 294 pounds and wear them all day. I have the all white for summer and the all black for winter and couldn't be more ecstatic about 4 pieces of rubber!

these are the only shoe i can wear they help with my feet problems. i am very disappointed that i cant get my size, are they discontinuing them i went with the leather ones but i don't like them as much as i like these, please bring them back i am starting a new job soon and would love to get a couple pair before i start working... please please bring them back

I love these sneakers. It comes in wider widths and very comfortable, no breaking. In period.

I like them. They're the right size. I like size 13 compaired to 12.5

I have been wearing NB for years, these are the most comfortable sneakers yet. and the previous ones, that I wear until they fall apart, have been comfortable, but these blow them out of the water

I wear them almost every day and they are comfortable a reasonably prices. Also, they arrived much sooner than I expected.

Used for walking. Comfortable and long-lasting. A good value.

It's a great shoe but my husband liked the 624 style, so we just returned the 608.
