These shoes were just what I was looking for, but they are SO uncomfortable! Very stiff across the ball of the foot. Sad to return, because they're so cute!

Shoes were much too wide. Tightened them as much as I could but still slipped. Would like to return them if possible. My wife and I are long time customers. Thanks Bill Suttle

A bit ugly but fit fine, loved the ball of foot cushions and heel support, but the arch support was absent. My feet hurt and felt swollen around the arches after walking around the kitchen wearing these while baking. Returned.

Shoes felt like it had no padding. They felt like they were 1/2 size to large. I tried out at home. Waited for weather to change but still do not work. The white shoes I order did fine.

I have worn New Balance size 10-1/2 for more than 25 years. My last pair was the 608V4. I ordered the 10-1/2 608V5 but they were too small. I then tried size 11 but they were too big. Something just didn't seem right so I returned those and ordered another 10-1/2. That pair fit better so I kept them. There is definitely a quality control issue with New Balance if the same size shoe can vary so much in size and fit. Now after wearing these shoes for a few days, working out and taking walks, I now realize that these shoes are nowhere near as comfortable as the last version that I owned. In fact, I would say they are uncomfortable. The soles are very hard and the shoes just don't feel right. My old ones were very comfortable with nice cushion. I would expect better for $75.

The 608v5 shoe has a very different outsole compared to the 608v4. The description states that it has a "slip resistant outsole to provide superior traction." I have a Morton's neuroma which requires a roomy toe box and good cushioning. Wearing the 608v5 around the house caused my neuroma to flare up again. Even my custom orthotics didn't provide enough cushioning. The outsole is very stiff and it felt like walking barefoot on a hardwood floor. I had to return these shoes.

Last time I ordered a pair of 608 black W (for wide), the came as 4E. This last pair came as only 2E. I can wear 2E but the 4E are more comfortable. I didn't see any where in the order form to designate 4E just W for wide.

I'm not using this shoe. I'm disappointed and am returning it. The shoe is a little too short. Otherwise would love it.

I have always had good success purchasing NB 8.5 D shoes. These however, seem narrower and the toe box is definitely narrower than previous NB shoes. Will return.

My shoes are not very old and the fabric on the inside has already started to develop a hole.

I wanted these shoes for a while. My size was always sold out, but was available in a wide width. I got those. Too loose and they they felt like someone else had been wearing them ( they were not used, I don't think). So, they are going back and I will purchase a different style of New Balance.

Too small. No input re: conversion to NB sizing and shoe structure. No option or documentation for product exchange

I loved my "old" New Balance sneakers with their rounded toe and just right width. This style has a more pointed toe and width that I swim around in. Appearance is clunkier too. I did like the color.

The shoes aren't as good looking as I thought they would be and they pinch my little toe.

The LOOK and construction appears to be the same, but I have the exact same size and width in white that I have purchased for a LONG time, and these black ones are NOT the same. I buy the 2E wide (NOT the EXTRA wide) because I use an arch support insole and this has worked out fine for YEARS. But with these black ones, no matter how tight I get the laces, my heel comes right up out of the shoe. If I wore them for 5 hrs, I would have raw skin on the back of my foot/heel - with normal socks. NOT happy. Might try other colors, but guessing I am stuck with white. And NB probably thinks they are good selling because they are white, and not because the other colors don't fit the same. Once they change the white ones, I will be switching brands, because they don't last that long either. Not made like they used to be!!! Constantly re-gluing the soles back on in various spots. I would pay more for better quality & longer lasting.
