Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

Thr shoes were great! My daughter liked everything except the color was not to her liking.

If it was fine In the fit, the chunky styling on my narrow feet was not to my style, so sent back.

i LIKE THIS SHOE, BUT AM A LITTLE CONCERNED ABOUT THE STITCHING INSIDE. I HAVE AN OCCASIONAL TOE PROBLEM AND WONDERING IF THE STITCHING INSIDE MIGHT BE BOTHERSOME BY RUBBING. IT COULD BE SMOOTHER INSIDE. .

This 608v5 shoe is MUCH better in fit and support than some other styles of New Balance I have tried ---after wearing 608v1 and v3 in the past multiple pairs when working as a medical professional standing /walking/ on my feet all day---the v2 and v4 revisions were not good for me.....so I tried other styles of New Balance which also were NOT good for me. Happy to get this pair now. I wear 8.5AA size --not so available or popular with arch support needed----which limits the shoe choices in a reasonable price range.

This shoe was just too stiff for me. The ankle collar came up too high and felt like it might be a problem. Cushion felt good. It also felt a tad short.

I bought v4 gray, and they were very comfortable with my orthotics. I wanted to buy them again but now its v5 and no gray. I bought them in white/blue in the same size as v4 but v5 runs a half size smaller. I returned them and waiting for the 10.5, hoping they fit.

I love NB … my favorite model has been, of course, discontinued, so I figured I would try this one. Had I tried them on in an actual store, I would have skipped them. Firstly, they’re heavy. For my foot, no arch support (added expense of additional inserts) and they are so stiff it feels like walking on cinder blocks. To others, these may be the Holy Grail you’re looking for. Unfortunately, I have to continue my quest.

My toe was hitting and my heel was slipping. It’s made of faux leather so I didn’t think it would strech due to not being real leather. The sneaker looks nice. I have a wide foot and even though this was an 8.5 wide I felt it was small for my foot so I am returning it.

Not as comfy as New Balance normally has been.

This shoe was ok for other people but didn’t feel comfortable to me.

Ordered a 7 wide and the width was perfect but the shoe was too long. Heal was slipping in & out.

I always replace the insole with orthodics. Shoe looked good. Is a walking shoe but was too stiff. My step was like Frankenstein. I was exhausted at the end of day.

Narrower than expected for medium width

I could not wear them as they are much too stiff and tight both in width and length.

The shoes were too heavy to be comfortable.

The seam cut into my left foot

High quality but too heavy for walking

appearance was very good. Not good for walking, were too heavy for me. Short time wearing was OK. I did wear first pair so I did not return, but returned the second unworn pair. I always use my personal/prescribed inserts for arch support. Was easy to remove insole that came with the shoe.

The fit is odd, the front top of the shoe is wider than the same brand bought before Covid and the material is a bit stiffer than the New Balance shoes I've bought a few years ago.

for a sport shoe it is good. it is too heavy for me, hoping for light weight walking shoe. I did have foot surgery and was hoping this shoe would be better fit. I did order two pairs and will keep the pair I have used but will return unused pair. Most likely for someone else this shoe would be great.

I bought 806 and 608 and decided to keep 806.

The fit was not quite right for me. The shoes did not flex in a comfortable way when walking, so I decided to return them.

They are cute but not comfortable. I have lots and lots of New Balance shoes but these just aren’t comfy. Sorry.
