Review: Great shoe, comfortable fit. - The shoes are comfortable, attractive and of good quality. I bought the same color and model five years ago, size 11 1/2, they seemed a bit small, my toes were very close to the end of the shoe. A different colored pair of NB's purchased at the same time had more room at the toes. This time I got size 12, and have a lot more toe room. The previous pair are still in excellent condition. They don't seem to wear out! I have worned New Balance shoes exclusively for over 20 years. I am a retired nurse. They always held up well, and were comfortable during my 8 and 12 hour shifts. I liked the "N" on the side. I liked to think it stood for "Nurse!". The older pair of brown 608 V5 shoes were the only pair that were a bit short of toe room that I have owned in 20 + years of NB purchases.
Review: It doesn't get any better!! - I'm 6'4" and retired and I've bought New Balance for the last 10yrs, I used to be a Nike guy but a friend always wore New Balance so I gave them a try and WOW just WOW!! Great fit I wear them all day most every day, and there very well made and so durable and they carry my size 15 and they were on sale. I'm kinda old school I like leather uppers and the cushioned insole is so comfortable you have all day comfort. New Balance 608 V5 a great shoe at a bargain price!!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ AMAZING!!
*by C***Y on January 26, 2026*

10/10! The all-white ones look great. I got them for my 20-year-old boyfriend, and he looks amazing in them. They’re perfectly comfy yet still stylish. I was worried they might look “old man–ish,” but they absolutely do not. If you’re a young person considering these, they are totally worth it! High quality, great fit, super comfortable, and they look fantastic.
