Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

Bought this pair to replace worn out NB athletic shoes and worn out Nike athletic shoes. Wear these for walking dog, exercising on an elliptical trainer and casual occasions. Previous NB athletic shoes had served me well. Would never buy anything again from Nike, given their making a hero of Colin Kaepernick (sp??), following his refusal to stand for our National Anthem. So far, these new NB sport shoes have proven comfortable. Can't promise to buy NB shoes again, because of being 80 years old and maybe never buying another pair of shoes in my life.

I've been wearing some variation of New Balance 608s for over 20 years because they're comfortable and because they come in WIDE sizes. It's hard to find athletic shoes in wide sizes. Though I take a little ribbing from my boys with my "geezer shoes" (along with my crew socks), they are true classics. This version is pretty stiff out of the box, and they need a good "break-in" period to loosen up and conform to your feet. Good all-purpose shoes.

I'm on my second pair of apparently discontinued 624s, where my first pair lasted only 4 months where the sole in the toe area separated from the uppers. MX608V5 a lot rides on your build once my second pair of 624 dies, hopeful to get a year and not 4 months. I buy ahead of time as to not get caught in the supply chain issue and NB have been great to me before, that's why I stick with them :)

good comfort while walking our dog thanks for the service and help online and phone quick shippping

I got the same trainers I always get (MX608V5) in the same color. They are $50 cheaper than ones I got a while ago. I thought about changing style or color, but I decided to stay the course. Very comfortable and a good fit (4E width).

I'm a nurse on my feet for 12+ hour shifts. Generally a very good sneaker. I have one spot below my great toe that rubs and irritates it. Hopefully once they get worn in a bit it won't bother me anymore.

Great shoe great fit however inside the top left shoe by the base of my big toe is it not of thread or glue which is jamming into my toe after wearing them for two days I was going to return them however I sniffed it off with scissors and it's fine now this should've been probably sent out a seconds that was my only disappointment

Nice enough shoes that, unfortunately, I need. They are easy-in easy-out for both my feet and my orthotics. But beware that not all 2E's are created equal, not even within New Balance. I have other New Balance shoes which just don't fit the same, not wide enough for the orthitics and not so easy-in easy-out. So you need to know your shoes!

I like the shoes LOT Any chance you have a 608 available in either canvass or swade ?

This is a very sturdy, well made shoe. However, it is not as comfortable as other shoes I've tried. It also makes my feet stink.

I have worn 409's for 10 years or longer. So you can imagine how unhappy "me and my feet" were when I couldn't find a new pair. So I tried the 608. It is ok. It is slightly different. I really wish they would bring the 409 Crosstrainer back!

Jury is still out, sole us softer than I like, but you don't have the 624 available right now, and can't afford the 840 GPS. I may return them???

After knee replacement surgery and delayed healing, my physician suggested I throw away my dress shoes (high heels) and purchase my New Balance. Your Customer Service Representative to exceptional interest in my problem and suggested this item. Considering my specific needs, he steered me to this particular model SPOT ON! After a couple of days, I was able to appreciate the benefit of my New Balance. I can now walk with no pain. Amazing!!!! Thank you for such a quality product and staff.

I bought these shoes but they were too big and needed to return them. I took them to the store in Wyoming, Mi 2 weeks ago. Bought 2 pairs of shoes (very comfortable) and they reutrned them to NB from the store -- still waiting for my credit for the first purchase.

Generally I use for walki9ng. They were expensive for me so I do not use them everyday. They are a good looking shoe yet they are not very comfortable as far as the insole and lack in sturdy stability from side to side

I only wish these shoes came in 13 Narrow, women's size. Instead, I have to order men's size 11.5 and they are always too wide.

They are a great shoe from New Balance and should last a long time as other shoes of this brand have.

These are decent shoes for the price. The size was true (I wear an 11). The laces are very long, but seem to stay tied without having to add the "baby knot" to the bow. I would buy them again.

I have gone through three pairs of 624s... But apparently they are no longer available.... Hopes are high that these 608s will do as well or better. White color and not too bold logo or decorations is what I want in addition to all day comfort.... So far so good...

New balance is the only shoe I can purchase with style due to wide feet . I use them for everything from work to walking to working out .

Sneakers are comfortable. The availability of wide widths makes a big difference.

I bought this shoe for cross training purposes. To use for Zumba and pickle ball. I am used to the running shoe fresh foam x1080's so this was a different purchase for me. I found that the 680 wasn't as cushy as the 1080 but I guess that is to be expected. So far they are working out fine. The width doesn't feel quite as wide as the 1080's.

I shoes are nice, but this pair that I just purchased fit a little snug. I like the color of the shoes. They have a nice design .

Had my doubts about ordering online. But they were perfect! Would like to see more heel padding on the insole, small issue. Great brand, always get NewBalance never disappointed!!!
