Customer Reviews New Balance 608v5

Wear to work and walking. Comfortable. Own a couple pair.

This is my 3rd pair of 608's. My other two are the suede in gray and the other in brown. These are the black leather with the slip resistant sole. I have been wearing them to work for the last two weeks and they are fantastic! Great all day comfort that I get from my other 608's and this particular model has the slip resistant sole. Sharp looking and just a great shoe. This is my new favorite work shoe.

New Balance the first to kinesiologically design shoes for the athlete. Great shoes. Great company.

Buy these all the time and they are always comfortable. Spend most days on my feet and these are great. xwide is a great fit.

I used to be a freight worker / shoe salesperson, and I was always on my feet. Because of the sleek style and black version, I was approved to wear these so I could multitask doing more high intensive tasks while also being on the sales floor. These lasted for YEARS!! The fit was perfect, and I've always had trouble finding shoes due to small but wide feet. I mention being a salesperson because I also sold these all the time and never had an unhappy customer ! My manager had one of the white/blue pairs, and that specific color was a FAN FAVORITE among older gentlemen. I've never seen a sneaker that has been adored by any age. Customers would go out of their way to buy multiple pairs for when they eventually needed new ones, but I never thought to do that since mine lasted so long. Happy to see the style is still around!! It was so popular that I knew as soon as I saw 608 that I had found it.

The shoe is great, L.L. Bean has failed. I have been ordering these shoes in a 6D for many years. Sizing changed, so I went up to a 6 1/2D - I know it was a sizing change and not my foot because I put the soles of my old shoes up to the new. For months, I've been trying to purchase another pair or two, but they no longer seem to carry my size in a wide width. Sad to say, L.L. Bean, I will be going elsewhere. You've always been my "go to" retailer for many reasons. Going forward, not so much.

Bought 3rd pair. each one for around a year - two. very durable and comfortable for walking every day

I love the color choices and style! Great for light day activities

Best shoe on the market. Very comfortable!!!!!! 608 V5

THESE ARE THE EVERYDAY WORK SHOE. JUST WHAT HE NEEDED PLUS THE SAME STYLE/MODEL# IS WHY HE KEEPS BUYING, THIS WOULD BE HIS FOURTH PAIR LASTING ABOUT 6+ MONTHS A YEAR.

This is my 3rd pair! Love them. When they get to beat up for normal wear, they will last another couple of years doing yard work! Wear them for all summer activities, walking 1.5 miles every day, etc. Everyday summer use!
