Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

I received my new shoes with one of the aglets (plastic piece on end of shoestring) damaged and hanging on by a thread. Rather than just send me a new pair of shoestrings to go with my new pair of shoes, they wanted me to return the shoes for a replacement. I realize this was a small thing and I could buy a pair of shoestrings, but it seems I should get what I paid for...a complete new pair of shoes. I love the shoes and didn't have time to return them; needed them for a trip, but I was disappointed with the customer service.

I wear a weird size (7 extra-wide) and this was the best I could fine in that size. The shoes I have bought in the past (806) were not available in my size. I hope this is only temporary.

I purchased these shoes because I needed a new pair. The shoes I wanted and really liked were not available. This pair is OK but not as good as the one not available in my size. This shoe functions as "a shoe should" by keeping my feet safe from going without. Nothing special.

I purchased this shoe as I was unable to purchase the 624 in my size. I loved the 624, but I guess they are phasing it out which is unfortunate. I found the 608 is fairly tight on my foot through the toe area. This has not been a problem for me in the 624. I was hoping the 608 would relax a little over time, but so far no luck.

It seams that cheaper material was use for this batch. I have bought the 608 cross trainer for a while now The heal is thinner and the shoe itself seams thinner made. I hope the next one are made like they were before.

I originally bought these to use in rotation for work shoes cause I work on hard compressed concrete floor for 12 hours a day. These are not as cushioned as I thought they would be. They are a very nice, balanced shoe but these are not meant for long day wear.

I had no other choice. My last purchase was 2E MW847WT3. WHEN WILL THIS MODEL OR SIMILAR BE AVAILABLE AGAIN IN WHITE.

When they say wide it does not really mean wide. Was not wide at all.

I ordered a pair of training shoes that were a half size too small. The return went smooth but I don't want to reorder because I won't receive the original order 10% discount.

Gave it a 3 star as I like the sneaker but returned it as, after lacing, it was too wide at top sides and my heel was slipping up and down. Went to NB store & sales rep. scanned my feet and this sneaker did not support my low arch, the sales rep. stated, so went with a different pair.

My kid was thrilled to have truly wide shoes. He busted the seam on the toe after a few weeks of wearing to school.

The shoes are fine. I just bought them too narrow. Should have thought about my bunions

I use the shoes for everyday and they do pretty good , but if I go for long walks there not as comfortable as my old New Balance. Not sure if they are still breaking in or not as much arch support.

They make my big toes hurt, but it may be a size issue. The NB outlet store would not measure my feet, which are changing, due to covid19. I traded in my usual size 13 for size 14, but they still hurt, so I will be returning them, again, a 50 mile round trip.

I bought a narrow size but they where to wide & I'm Sorry sending them back. Thank you

I'm been buying New Balance for years and really like them but this pair is really bad. Got them a few days before vacation. Around the house they felt stiff. Well I thought it was going to loosen up while on vacation. My feet where killing me walking around the places we stopped at couldn't wait to get back and take these shows off. I've worn the same size for years and that's what I ordered.

I'm afraid this is the first pair of NB that I can't wear-- the shoe is incredibly hard-- the sole is hard. I should have bought a different pair-- indeed, I should have bought it in a NB store which we have here in NAples, FL. Sorry-- ordinarily NB is perfect for me.
