New Balance Men's 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer

I am thoroughly amazed and grateful these are just what I needed. My last pair of NB were walking shoes and was last bought 5 or 6 years ago. I do tons of walking but don't drag my feet so the soles don't wear fast and I don't let them get wet, but it was time to get a new pair. These new ones are perfect in every way, absolute comfort, roominess, but snug enough fit with a good amount of comfort padding inside, and they have the exact size dimensions of the last size 15's I had from 5 to 6 years ago, maybe a slight tad wider for even better comfort. I love that they don't pronate (tilt to one side from overly spongy soles) and are even more stable for the ankle than the last ones. They also don't have excessive heel height which is a huge problem for me in this trend of making heels too high since i have ankle issues and had to have surgery on my feet at age 4, so I was told my my orthopedic doctor my feet could not handle excess sloping, i.e., higher heels. In this regard, it reminds me of barefoot shoes with a flatter more even profile, but still with good arch support and still perfect shock absorbing comfort (not excessive since I can't handle excess arches). Glad I came across the perfect fit shoe for me, though there is one thing I hope will last and that is four of the shoelace eyelets in the middle were done differently for stylistic reasons: they are put through some type of fabric loop instead of the leather that the other holes are made to go through. If those loops have stitching that fails at some point then one would have to resort to drilling a hole into the leather where it normally would go through because they had to do this "cool" looking style feature. Who knows, maybe it will last okay. The price is great too, and hope they don't read this and raise it!

Very good! One of the most comfortable shoes I have worn in years. I walk a lot, always have.I am 83 years old, and my feet have stretched out over the years.There is enough room in the toebox, the height, whereI can add a Dr Scholl's pad. There is now enough room for my wide foot.I usually once wore a size 12. Here, I bought a size 13 extra wide. Fits good. For once, the laces do not come untied within two blocks of walking like most of my other shoes did!The only downside I can think of is that there are not many ventilation holes in this shoe and if you live where the daily high temperature is 90, or more, for 90 days a year and a 95 degree day could see a sidewalk of 110 degrees. I cut a small hole in the toebox. Works well.I now have several pairs in reserve. If I were to wait till these shoes wear out and then look for a same shoe replacement, that there shoe probably will no longer exist for sale!

I HAVE A HARD TIME FINDING 6E EXTRA WIDE SNEAKERS IN THE STORES. I FOUND THAT REEBOK,SKECHERS AND NEW BALANCE WORK FOR ME. MEMORY FOAM SNEAKERS ARE JUNK. I HAD NEW BALANCE 608 IN THE PAST IN A SIZE 4E.MY REEBOKS HAVE DONE IT'S JOB AND TIME TO REPLACE.I'M VERY HAPPY WITH MY NEW NEW BALANCE MX608V5 IN SIZE 6E EXTRA WIDE. TRUE TO SIZE AND COMFORTABLE.I LIKE THAT I CAN USE MY OWN ORTHOTICS INSERTS. THE ONE THAT COME WITH THE SNEAKERS ARE THIN, BUT ARE REMOVABLE, AS MOST SNEAKERS YOU CAN TAKE THEM OUT. 5 STARS FROM ME

I have a very hard time finding a shoe with a comfortable toe box that actually fits my forefoot width and foot length.I ordered these in 9 1/2 4E/XX Wide. These shoes in that width are freakishly wide. My wide feet are swimming in them.They look ridiculous looking down at them. Absolutely no way I could wear these even with thick socks. I have never experienced a shoe this wide. Length is good. Will be keeping my eyes out for a unhoused person with exceptionally wide feet to give these to. I should have ordered 2E I guess? Really difficult to buy shoes without trying them on. Has been that way most of my life. If you have super wide feet these will most likely be for you.

Comfortable, breathable, with good arch support. These sneakers are mostly leather and are lined with a cushioned layer. The tongue is mostly mesh for breathability. These are a good, durable, long lasting sneaker perfect for any season (we are repeat buyers) and we wear them year round. They are not lightweight, but a good thickness. I take a ladies size 9, and order a men’s 8. My husband takes a size 10 and a 10 fit him perfectly.

I bought this product on April a week earlier than for my birthday. I put it on a couple days ago for the first time waited to the gym was very comfortable and was surprised how comfortable it was. I will be waiting every day for the gym when I go to the gym, very good product very comfortable no complaints whatsoever. I think I’ll give it a five star. Awesome product just awesome.

The heel cup is great and offered up the support the other shoes did not have. I have trouble with my feet and these model from New Balance did as they were asked of, as they supported my feet and heel, for a great fit. I purchased one pair to see how well they fit and worked; I will be ordering more pairs in the near future.

I was in desperate need of new cross-training sneakers for the gym. I tried a pair of Pumas but returned them. I just didn't like the fit. I decided to order these New Balance cross-trainers and after one one, love them. They are very supportive and comfortable. I like the style, too. I like white sneakers but not all white. These have a gray sole and light gray highlights which work great for me; exactly what I wanted.
