Description

The New Balance 608 V5 is a proven favorite for men's cross training shoes that deliver comfort from morning to night. The ABZORB heel crash pad absorbs impact on every step, while a molded PU insert and relaxed fit last provide an underfoot feel that is hard to beat. The sturdy suede upper is supportive and breaks in nicely over time, and lightweight EVA foam with an internal midsole shank adds cushioning and midfoot stability. Dual density collar foam supports the ankle, and the Phantom Liner interior has minimal seaming to reduce irritation. Whether you are at the gym, on a walk, or on your feet all day at work, the 608 V5 keeps you comfortable.

  • Narrow toe box
Size: 13 Color: Black/White
As shown in the picture, the toe box on the 608v5 (left) is much, much narrower than it was on the 608v3 (right). I bought these to replace my old 608v3 shoes, and I bought the same size and width. While the old 608v3 shoes fit my feet perfectly, the new 608v5 shoes are much too narrow up front, causing my big toe to jam into the side of the shoe. The rest of the shoe feels the same in terms of length and in terms of width along the rest of the shoe. I don't know why New Balance would make such a dramatic change in the fit (or last) but keep the same model number. Very disappointing. ... show more

  • Horrible Fit. Will Never Buy Again.
Size: 10 Color: White/Team Royal
I've been wearing the 608 V4 for years. Love them. I hate the Version 5. I've tried to break this pair in; but, I've given up. When I compare the Version 4 to the Version 5, I can see a slight difference in how they shoes fit around the ankle. As a result, it presses against the bottom of my ankle and causes my little toe to go spastic. A mile into my walk, my ankle and little toe are numb on my right foot. ... show more

  • Finally a shoe worth buying: Update below, don't get them wet.....
Size: 12 X-Wide Color: Black/Black
I have been thru several different makes and models in the last few years and was disappointed by every purchase. I have arthritis in both ankles and my left was shattered in an accident and is always painful. I was buying spongy shoes for the cushioning but those bothered my hips and back. My feet also roll outward and the shoes were only lasting 8-10 weeks. I've been wearing this current pair for 4 months and they are still supportive and comfortable. I hope New Balance doesn't mess with a good thing as they seem to always do. I would recommend these to anyone needing a supportive cushioned shoe. Update: I live in SW FL. where it rains everyday. I was wearing a new pair to work and I got caught in a downpour. I work outside so I ended up having to walk in soggy sand and when the shoe got wet it lost all support. The shoes were only a week old and I ended up with my foot rolled outward and I was walking on the actual side of the shoe. Being out of town for a job I had to wear them walking on the side for 2 more days. My ankles hurt so bad I had to crawl through the house because I could not walk. This went on for 2 more days before I could put any weight on them. Having worn New Balance for as long as I can remember I ordered another pair and it felt awkward after just trying the on. I took a mini square and was amazed how far the shoe was. The top part of the shoe was attached to the sole crooked.SEE PIC. I just ordered a pair of Reebok DMX Max to try. ... show more

  • super comfortable and nice looking shoes
Size: 10.5 Wide Color: Black/Black
My old pair of New Balance 608V2 shoes were pretty worn out so I started looking at the newer versions and came across these 608v5 models. Super comfortable - feel like they're broken in right out of the box. Lighter than the older ones as well. These are my church and dress up shoes as well as just good old everyday shoes if needed.

  • Great shoe!
Size: 9 Color: Black/Black
I wear a size 9 walking shoe, but run in a 9 1/2 to avoid hammer toe. This size 9 shoe is the same or possibly slightly larger than most of the 9 1/2 running shoes I wear. They have extra room, but not too much that I would order a size smaller. Normally, a 9 fits my foot like a glove with just enough extra room for my toe. If a 9 normally fit me a little loose then these would be too big. These shoes serve as a black dress shoe for me. I don't care for the firm leather sole found on most dress shoes. Plus, if I need to make up time or hustle to meet someone, I can easily break into a run with these and run as long as necessary without doing harm to my feet or legs. After looking at pictures and pricing for all the New Balance black walking and cross trainer shoes, I chose this particular pair because they are completely black (no silver reflective material anywhere) and the panel covering the toe box is also leather, not the woven material typically used for extra breathability on running shoes. Hence, visually they are more suitable to use a black dress shoe. BTW, I love the cushioning in these shoes. It rivals the cushioning found in most running shoes and is far superior to that found in a typical walking shoe. ... show more

  • Watch the wobble on NB 608v5 shoes thru this site!
Size: 10 Wide Color: White/Navy
Mine were very uneven when placed oin a flat surface - this is what I've been told to do by shoe buyers! If they wobble front to back/side-side - they are not good to wear. These were definitely not good to wear. Plus, the order page only gave "WIDE" as a choice, and they cam e to me as 2E, when I needed 4E. ... show more

  • Updated review to five stars, low arch helped flat foot pain.
Size: 12.5 Color: Black/Black
I originally bought and reviewed these shoes years ago, I bought it for long days standing at work and my feet being in pain when I got home. I'm overweight so good shoes really matters to me, so without trying these out much I kinda tossed them in the closet. Years later, after trying everything from Ultraboosts to Brooks, I'm back with these shoes. Because I heard something interesting. For most overweight people with flat feet, it's actually preferable to wear shoes with little to no arch support. All this time I was under the impression that I need arch support, but at least for me and my foot, it's the exact opposite. I need the lack of arch support these shoes give me. I completely underestimated this shoe. Now I'm wearing them to work every day and the pain is pretty much gone. I'm not saying this is the perfect shoe for pain relief, but if you've tried every shoe out there with talk of arch support or motion control and nothing helped, try these. You may be surprised. ------ Old review. They're decent shoes. They're not terrible, but they're not amazing either. If you have foot pain, this won't fix it, low arches; this won't help it. I also feel like the V4s of this same shoes was slightly better. The cushioning just felt better really. Just don't expect too much out of these, they're actually really decent work shoes if you're in a kitchen, very slip resistant. ... show more

  • Well cushioned
Size: 11.5 Color: Black/Black
Compared to version 4, it feels better cushioned and the toe box is bigger in my D width. Some may not like the fake leather, but I think it looks nice and will clean with a damp sponge which makes them the perfect winter walking shoe.
