Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

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.

I didn't like the way it looked on me.

Second pair of shoes returning, when I walk they ride up the back of my kneel.

Felt synthetic and cheap Width felt wider at the heel, not AA

The style was nice and the colors. However, I need more room at the toe. The heel was fine. Sosorry they didn't fit.

I have a pair of New Balance that I aDORE, but following foot surgery find them too small. Unfortunately, for me, these are apparently in-between whatever size I need now. I said they're true to size, because they likely are for most people, but for me, they're about 25% too big (so, not even a half size).

I loved the style and fit. But for some reason, no matter what I did to adjust the lacing, I would inevitably end up with tingling or numbness in my toes.

Cute shoes, but felt boxy and ran large

They were not comfortable, They felt very heavy.

\ These shoes were very uncomfortable. The sole was stiff and lacked padding. I've sent them back.

These shoes look too wide! The fit is so-so, but I need to use orthotics for proper arch support. I really wish the shoes had a narrower outline to match the actual outline of my extremely slim (AAA) feet.

They fit OK but I wanted real leather.

These just didn't fit right, nor did they have the support I'm used to with some other NB shoes. The toe box was narrower, I think. Basically, I'll just have to stick with the ones that I've worn for a while!

I have bunions and my feet hurt as I tried them on. They seem less cushion than previous New Balance trainers I used to buy and wear from 2006 to about mid 2010s.

These fit as expected and they look nice, too. My orthotics fit, but they are squeaky so I’m still thinking about whether I’ll keep the shoes.

It was a narrow, but felt wider. Overall, just did not feel right on my feet.

hurt right foot

This is a great hiking shoe for me and meets all my podiatrist's recommendations; HOWEVER, there has always been a major problem with proper sizing! I usually wear 9.5 B. Ordered, full size or more too large. Ordered replacement with a narrow width and this felt and fit great!!! Reordered the narrow after a year and I could not get my foot into them. Replaced with a B width which fit okay EXCEPT no toe room! I will be searching at the local sporting shop to see if there is another style for me that will work. Very disappointed that the sizing is not more consistent!!!
