Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

I have purchased several pairs of these shoes - they are my go-to for sneakers.

After first putting them on I felt they were comfortable. The bottoms are firm'ish and feel like they have some sort of gel in them which I thought would help my feet after wearing them for long hours. Unfortunately after 2 weeks of wearing these I cannot stand it anymore. I'm a nurse and stand for long periods of time and I've been having foot and back pain after wearing these to work. Based on the reviews I thought these would be great for me but apparently not.

My foot doctor recommended these as the best trainers to accommodate my orthotics, so I've been wearing them for several years. They have much better support than other trainers and have held up well in all kinds of weather.

Been wearing this style for several years, great support and pretty true to size.

I have been wearing this shoe for about 10 years. This is my 4th pair. I sometimes need to wear orthotics and these shoes accommodate them very well. The price can't be beat for a leather shoe. I just need to remember to replace them more frequently.

ran short

Shoes fit well but I will need to walk in them several times for most comfort.

I've worn New Balance for years....same size...same width, but these shoes are just too tight in size and width. Love the style and look but just too uncomfortable to wear.

Bought four months ago sole is already falling off. Low quality product.

These shoes were exactly what I wanted, except they were too short. I need to go up half a size to fit my toes comfortably. I'm looking forward to getting the larger pair for Zumba class.

The fit was great, but the white color was boring. I want athletic shoes that are stylish.

First pair of tennis shoes that felt great all day the first day wearing them. I did put in my own insoles though. Took out the ones that came with them. Going to pick up another pair before they go away!

These are great shoes! Fit perfectly in a size 5 which is what I usually wear. Sporty, comfy and supportive.

I love New Balance, have always found them to make a fine shoe. Bought this one and trust and not disappointed. Using this one for pickle ball and I am very satisfied.

Fit is good, especially width. Wish they had a bit more arch support

I thought that since WX608V4 has been discontinued that this model would be the next best thing. It is nothing like the 608V4. I was very disappointed. Not sure where to go to to the same great fit as the 608V4.

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

These were purchased to fit over 2-part AFOs. I selected them due to the advertised "wide width", but found them to be a bit narrower than expected, and they barely fit over AFOs. The insoles have been removed to accommodate the AFOs, so arch support is a non-issue. The outer sole is acceptably flat, the tongue does have a long opening for the laces to be loosened for putting them on, but the width is a bit snug with the side velcro straps of the AFOs rubbing and catching the lining. The heel depth is a good fit and the length seems true to size. The style and appearance are right on the money so the shoes don't look like "specialty" or orthopaedic shoes.
