Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

I'm replacing a 646 pair I've worn for years. Was looking for a cross trainer for all day standing on concrete. The padding in these is cheaper and the leather upper is too. No reflective "N" or strips on the upper either. They're the best I could find at NB to suit me but not thrilled.

The shoes were very wide...I know I ordered wide but these were extremely wide. Still waiting on my refund!

I purchased these shoes to replace a pair of shoes from 6 months earlier. I have always liked the quality of New Balance shoes over the years. My last pair of shoes was the exception, I only wear them to walk in and they began to to tear right above the rubber sole seam, soon afterwards the souls became detached from the shoes. This happened on both shoes although the left shoe was worse. I continued to try to wear them but before they were 6 months old they were completely separating and falling apart, The shoes still looked almost new but I could no longer wear them. It was like they hardly put any adhesive on the soul of the shoe. I was very disappointed because they shouldn't have fallen apart. I would expect this in a less expensive brand but not New Balance. I decided to give them one more chance and I hope it was a fluke.

Overall, I'm pretty happy about the quality and fit of this shoe. They were somewhat uncomfortable around my shin for the first few wears, but after being broken in, they're as snug and cushy as one could hope.

I wear them, on my feet, with socks underneath them

Easy transaction. Tired of shopping at stores or even looking to purchase online. You know your getting the real product when dealing directly with the company.

Have bought the3se before and great for a wide foot. Wish they had the ALL white ones available !

I've ordered shoes in the past and have always gotten the size I have ordered the last pair of walking shoes I had are no longer available so bought the new balance 608 shoe in a 9 E wide but I received a 9 D instead they fit but are tight on me

Great All around shoe. Wear from bike riding to working in the Yard. Very durable. Great fit, buy a pair every year. A must have shoe.

These "Dad Force Ones" are awesome. Thought I would try a pair of Sketchers. What a mistake! Came back to my great fitting comfortable New Balance shows! I love them!

New Balance is the only Manufacturer that makes a shoe that fit my strange feet.

i have been wearing 608s for several years now. there always perfect fit cushoning and widith. i wear mine all year long as i can!! perfect price too. i have a new balance store near by, ll bean has the best shoe and price. have fun in your shoes!!!!!!!

Typical NB shoe. Extremely comfortable with great fit. Half size selection like no other manufacturer. Only thing that keeps this from being a five start review was fact that I bought several colors of same style shoe online, all in same size, and found one pair that was almost a half inch shorter than the other (again, same shoe, same size).

The New Balance 608 was recommended by a podiatrist friend. It offers support and comfort. I did follow the advice to get a half-size larger.
