Size: 10 WideColor: White/NavyVerified Purchase

Really like new balance sneakers. I wear a 10 wide & these fit perfectly. They are well made & worth the money. My old ones lasted for 4+ years & suspect these to last just as long. They are comfortable to wear & would not hesitate to buy again

Great shoes with a great price

Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2024

Size: 9 WideColor: White/NavyVerified Purchase

I've always been a fan of the 608 series New Balance shoes. They are comfortable and last a good long time. Although I've heard they are the best shoes for support, with my Plantar fasciitis, I'm still having to purchase Dr. Sholes insoles for this specific issue to alleviate the pain. together, these are winning combination. Be aware that adding those insoles can make it a bit tight, but if you remove the OEM pad within the shoe, it's just as comfortable as not having the added insole.

Perfect walking sneakers

Reviewed in the United States on April 18, 2024

Size: 10.5Color: White/NavyVerified Purchase

Last week, my husband and I embarked on a shopping excursion to the New Balance outlet, where serendipity struck in the form of the perfect pair of sneakers: the New Balance Men's 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer. Entranced by the snug fit and unparalleled comfort, my husband was smitten. However, my innate bargain-hunting instincts kicked in, prompting me to whip out my trusty Amazon app and discover that the exact same pair was priced a tantalizing $8 lower online. Without hesitation, I swiftly placed an order, securing both the coveted sneakers and a delightful saving. Now, adorned in his newfound footwear, my husband traverses the streets with an air of contentment, declaring these shoes as the epitome of walking comfort.

Husband Thought They Were More Expensive Than They Were

Reviewed in the United States on February 2, 2024

Size: 9.5Color: Black/BlackVerified Purchase

The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because this is a second-hand review - if I was wearing them and knew personally how they felt, I might give them 5 stars. They look good and cost less than I expect a leather shoe to cost. They were a birthday gift to my husband who usually wears athletic shoes (NB, of course). His first reaction was "wow, what did you pay for them?" He likes these 608s and says they are comfortable, the 9-1/2 fits just the way they should, he's worn them on our 2-mile walk every day since he got them on Jan 28 with no complaints.

Size: 13 X-WideColor: White/NavyVerified Purchase

I recently purchased the New Balance Cross Trainer sneakers, and I'm extremely satisfied with my purchase. These sneakers offer exceptional comfort and support, making them perfect for my workouts and daily activities. The cushioned sole provides excellent shock absorption, reducing strain on my feet and joints during high-intensity exercises.
Additionally, the stylish design and variety of color options allow me to express my personal style while staying comfortable and supported. The durability of these sneakers is also impressive, as they have held up well even after regular use.
Overall, I highly recommend the New Balance Cross Trainer sneakers to anyone looking for quality athletic footwear that combines comfort, support, and style.
The Amazon service was excellent, both in terms of delivery and product condition. The delivery was prompt and efficient, arriving within the specified timeframe. The product itself was in good condition, meeting my expectations and functioning as described. Overall, I'm very satisfied with the service provided by Amazon.

This is probably the third or fourth pair of these shoes I have bought from New Balance. The numbers have changed slightly but the same type of shoe. Fit is consistent over the years. They wear well and are comfortable for walking or working out at gym.

Seriously great shoes for anyone.
For some reason the “youngsters” in my life tease me.

Go ahead and tease me for wearing durable, comfortable and reasonably priced shoes.

Clean, simple, classic look.

These wear well, and are not slippery on wet surfaces

Reviewed in the United States on January 19, 2024

Size: 11 X-WideColor: Team Away Grey/CastlerockVerified Purchase

This is my 2nd pair. I walk everyday, wet or dry. These have good traction on wet asphalt and small stones. They last a long time. I love the green-gray color. The extra wide saves my small toe.
Someone said this had memory foam. I don't think so. Its EVA on the sole. It has a touch of fluidity, but is a conventional foam. I had memory foam sneakers. They were hot in the summer, and felt squishy with every step. Memory foam is made from petroleum products and may contain formaldehyde. In 2023 the EPA is banning formaldehyde exposure for kids. Hopefully they'll get it out of their sneakers.
My size was out of stock for a long time. Many months. Had to buy a Monarch. They feel as good as the Monarch Air IV for cushioning, and are less slippery on wet surfaces than the monarchs. When you wear a Monarch, they stick out like sore thumbs. Too bright and bold. These grey shoes are discreet. They go well with blue jeans and an old hoodie.
