Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

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.

I've been wearing NB 608 for years. I try other brands, but always come back to these. They've changed over the years, and I liked the old ones better, but they still beat any shoe I've tried.

Happy barista here— good support, simple style, I like the all black color, and most of all am glad that my feet & knees aren’t in pain after a long shift like they used to be when I was wearing other shoes. Happy with this purchase.

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.

The shoes are not very stylish and do not come in anything but black or white, but they are comfortable. I had to put in a heel insert since the top of the heel rubbed. Once they are broke in, I think they will be excellent!

I brought the med width for work and they were tight. I exchanged them for a wide and they were still tight!! These Sne didn’t work for me.

I only purchase and wear New Balance. I've had several surgeries on my feet and these shoes are the best. I am an avid walker and need shoes that are comfortable. These fit the bill!! Love them and the color!

These New Balance shoes are very comfortable. I wear a 9 1/2 narrow and these shoes fit perfectly. They have lots of support for doing aerobics and step. I would like to have choices in colors.

Got for working on concrete floor 8 hrs a day have had bone spurs these shoes are very comfortable left shoe sqweeks some when you walk but not enough to be loud may be due to my right foot being longer than the left I will purchase a pair for backup love these shoes good price too

the shoe felt very heavy and clunky. I'm a size 9 narrow in regular shoes and generally a 9.5 narrow in running shoes. I order the 9.5, but perhaps the 9 would've been a better fit, still even if they were a little more snug I can't imagine they'd be comfortable. They're going back.

I have wide feet with high arches. New Balance leather shoes is about all I can wear for an all day shoe. These were great for me. I do take out the inserts and put in my orthotics.

Excellent service as always. Thanks.

very comfortable, soft and stylish. I love them!

amazing shoes, so comfortable!

I bought these shoes for cold weather walking. I usually size up in New Balance to an 11N, but I could have gone a half size smaller to a 10.5N. With my orthotic and an extra cheap foam innersole, the fit is fine. They are comfortable outside and on the treadmill. This is not a pretty shoe. It seems like it's meant to be a work shoe, but it is very functional.

First time in a long time that I have worn new balance shoes. Glad I am once again

I work in a clinical setting, lots of walking, I gave the arch support a moderate only because I use a Powerstep Pulse insole for all my athletic shoes, before inserting that I did okay but am better with the insole. These shoes were exactly what I was looking for, hope they keep this style as is, I get new shoes annually for work. The comfort, design, durability is what I was looking for and have spent much more money for shoes, the reviews I read before ordering helped make my decision. I’ve had 2 hips replaced, one knee and am my early 60’s, this shoe is the best I’ve worn in quite awhile. I would definitely wear these for walking and have already had coworkers ask where I got them, basic styling, I’ve done all the colors and mesh toe boxes, so over them for what I need.

This is by far the most comfortable shoe I have ever put on my feet. Immediately it felt as if they were nicely broken in. The support was wonderful. Neither were they too heavy, although I know lighter shoes were available. I plan to wear these for exercise classes at our local health club. If anything changes I will append this review.

They fit well. Good workmanship. The light blue is a nice soft color.

These were a perfect fit. I have been walking in them and they are very comfortable. Wouldn't hesitate to buy again.

These shoes where same size New Balance as I normally buy except they were stiffer than the fabric type New Balance athletic shoe. Because they were stiffer the toes felt a bit tight. I hope they stretch out a bit.

I've worn New Balance shoes since the 70's and have never had a more comfortable athletic shoe. For my athletic history, I started out running, then went to walking, then step aerobics, and now back to walking. I'm in my 70's and New Balance is "my shoe". Thanks!
