Customer Reviews New Balance WX608v5

got these in size 8 (given that the new balance 574 fit me perfectly in size 8). At first fit I thought that I should've gotten the 8.5. the material (leather?) is certainly stiffer than that of the 574 so the first 2 days were spent breaking them in, and they are much more comfortable now, though still a little small, so if you fluctuate a .5 between sizes you may want to go for the bigger option. The support is great but not like walking on a cloud (probably for the better). It's a heavy shoe for heavy work and you may feel that heaviness for a bit if your exercise is closer to running. I also had to relace the shoes to give my feet more space.

I have high arches, plantar fasciitis, and Achilles tendinitis and heal spur. Makes it feel better. Still need a different shoe soon

I'm a recent new grad nurse and wanted some new shoes for work as my old ones were not cutting. Shipping was surprisingly fast, and I love that they work with USPS. Since getting them, I've worked a handful of 8-hour shifts and was disappointed with the comfort levels. At first, I thought they might need some breaking in, which did help. My second weekend wearing these were an improvement, so they might take some getting used to. The cushion gives me some good support, but at the end of a shift, my feet still feel very tired. It probably doesn't help that I work three days in a row, but my feet are still achy by the end of my work week. It is not as painful as it was with my old shoes, but I am a little disappointed since I saw so many great reviews for this pair, especially from other nurses. I was hoping these would be my go-to pair for work, but I will most likely look for other options. Some positives are they are quite stylish, and I have received a few compliments on them. I love the wide-foot option, and I like that I can wiggle my toes and engage my entire foot when wearing them.

I bought these in size 14 Wide; unfortunately, they were still too tight! The toe box was the WORST! The big toe pressed tightly against the angle of the toe box. Should've bought 14 Extra Wide.
