About New Balance Men's 608 V5 Casual Comfort Cross Trainer
Overall Feedback:
83% positive
66% appreciated the stability
Adding stronger insoles will provide me with a more stable and comfortable balance.
63% highlighted the strong slip resistance
The soles of these shoes are very sticky and prevent slipping on surfaces, which was a problem with my old trainers.
The slip resistance is amazing. I work around a lot of oil on the floor and wouldn't even know while wearing these bad boys.
68% liked the durable build, but 32% noticed quick wear and tear
The shoe is comfortable and durable. I wear it to the gym 4 days a week and it holds up well.
After wearing the shoes for 2 weeks, the sole/tread is peeling away from my shoe.
For long days on your feet, the shoes are comfortable but not durable. It's better to use work shoes/boots in the long run.
65% liked the stylish design, but 35% thought they looked plain
I believe the shoes are designed to eliminate wrinkles on the front instead of providing comfort.
69% found it comfortable, but 31% mentioned discomfort after long periods
I prefer leather material on top because I have wide feet and it stretches over time for a comfortable fit, unlike synthetics.
After a week of use, my left foot developed blisters due to discomfort caused by the rigid design of the shoe with no cushion on the bottom or sides.
I have been using New Balance shoes for over 10 years now and have always loved their comfort, even on the first day of wearing them. However, with this recent purchase, the shoes initially felt comfortable but lost all support after 3 days, making it painful to walk. Based on my experience, I can say that the shoes have a support issue.
The shoes I received are more uncomfortable than the exact pair I tried on in the store. There is no cushion at all and it feels like I am walking directly on the rubber soles.
62% liked the breathable design, but 38% found them retaining heat
These shoes are not suitable for working out as the synthetic leather outers are too heavy and not breathable.
