Men's 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer

I recently purchased a pair of New Balance men’s shoes, and I couldn’t be more impressed with their durability, quality, and comfort! Right out of the box, the fit was perfect—no break-in period needed. The shoes mold to your feet, offering great arch support and cushioning, making them ideal for long hours on your feet. The durability is also top-notch. I’ve worn them for both daily use and intense workouts, and they’ve held up remarkably well. The materials feel high-quality, and they seem to be made to last, with no signs of wear and tear despite frequent use. On top of that, the shoes are incredibly comfortable. The cushioning absorbs impact with every step, which is perfect for running or walking, and the design provides just the right amount of breathability. Whether you're hitting the gym or just running errands, these shoes will keep your feet feeling great all day long. Overall, I highly recommend New Balance for anyone looking for a reliable, comfortable, and durable pair of shoes. They’ve definitely earned a permanent spot in my rotation!

I like the wide widths of New Balance shoes. This is the 4th pair of 608 V5 shoes I have purchased over the years, as I these fit me well (size as expected) and are well made and very comfortable. I can always find the size I need on Amazon, so I add this shoe to my cart each fall and wait for a price drop.

Most comfortable sneaker I ever owned in my life. Of course I’m older now and I never had to buy a shoe just for the comfort level, but still, they would be nice for running, assuming I could still run which I can’t ha ha. Seriously buy them.

I’ve owned NB shoes before. They offer good comfort and support for the price. The more you spend on them the better the ankle and arch support gets. Depending on the brand of sneaker, I’m a 12.5 or 13. I find most sneakers (Vans, Adidas classics, Converse) are a little too narrow for my feet. For these, I got 13 extra wide NB and they’re big on me. So I’d say I could’ve gone with a normal 13. They’re not so big I’ll return them, but I can slip them on without untying them. And even for a big guy with wide feet, extra wide is a little more space than I need. I will say: they’re comfortable right out of the box and I have no complaints. Shoes are something a little difficult to buy without trying on, but they’re definitely good enough as my day to day beaters.

DISREGARD: FLAW CAN BE ATTRIBUTED TO USER MISUSE (6/2025 update) Specifically used an impact method to remove dirt & Bermuda grass accumulated in treads. Switched to using a stiff nylon bristle brush and sole glue degradation was not repeated Last year bought two pairs of v.5's purchased the 2nd pair about a week after the first to ensure correct fit (13x4E) Primary shoes, so use 2 pairs a 1 day on / 1 day off rotation. (previously had 2 pairs of v.4's and wore them out over approx 3 years) At about the 11 month mark the soles on both pairs of v.5's started separating. Starting at the ball of the foot. Have used a name brand "shoe glue" to put them back together successfully but the faulty factory sole glue job keep spreading towards the heel. Still like the way they look, they way they fit, and the uppers durability so much so that I"m buying another pair today (the all-white, leather, version). Hadn't seen the glue issue on any comments in this thread (so far)

I have to admit, switching to these dad shoes was worth it. Fit good ,love the x wide size. No more sore feet. Reviews are spot on. Shoelaces are super long though.

They fit well and it’s a hard to find size. X wide is 4E

The shoes arrived, and they are great quality. My husband goes through shoes quickly. He has wide feet, and it can be hard to shop for him. I found these New Balances, and they are so nice. They are extra wide, so he’ll be comfortable. They will go with most of his outfits, too! So glad I found these on sale.
