Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

Could of got the item 10% Cheaper from the New Balance Store. The last item I will ever buy from LLBean.

I bought these for my grandson. I ordered a size larger than he normally wears. They fit him. I bought them in black. He like the shiny color. I am waiting to order New Balance for my granddaughter but they are on back order.

I love them. I wear braces on my feet and I needed a shoe that would fit and they are perfect and look great!

But they are not comfortable. They taper to the toe and are too snug for what I consider to be a true D width. They give good arch support - I just cannot wear them comfortably for more than 30-40 minutes, which isn't long enough time for my usual workouts. If I had tried these on in a shoe store, I would have passed - I guess that's the chance you take buying shoes on-line.

Ordered the shoes for my husband as he was having discomfort in his feet. They fit very well from the on set and his feet feel good in them, discomfort hs stopped.

these were for my husband. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal per the other reviews and the LL Bean recommendation and that worked out fine. He was able to wear them right away, no break in period.

I was so pleased to find this product on LL Bean. My husband has worn these shoes for years and requested a new pair for Christmas. It was great to be able to order them from LL Bean and not have to go out shopping for them. Once again LL Bean was there when I needed them. Thanks for being such a great company.

Great feeling, good looking nicely fitting shoe with typical great LL Bean service.

1/2 size over my normal shoe size, the sneakers are stiff and lack comfortable support. While they do look appealing, comfort level is at best mediocre.

These 608's over the years have served me well. Comfortable well padded and light weight, they propelled me many miles without failure. Great cushioned heal and sole. I've actually purchased so many of these shoes over the years enjoying their comfort. Who needs Wingtips anymore? Gave away all the suits too.

Following up my review from last month. As mentioned, I have worn a version of this sneaker for almost 20 years. I always ordered 81/2 M and they fit perfectly. The last two pair I purchased have been uncomfortable and the length felt short. I wasn't sure what had happen and finally decided to do a side by side comparison with an old pair I started wearing again. See attached picture. The sneaker on the right is the new sneaker and It is clear the sole has been redesigned. This design change makes the sure extremely uncomfortable for me and causes pain in my knees and Achilles Tendons. I can longer wear this style sneaker. I have to say good bye to what was once my "go to" sneaker.

Have been buying New Balance regularly, usually suede though. I liked the look of the black leather and bought those this time for my walking. Comfortable and true to size and remind me of my old coaching days on the sidelines.
