It’s pretty rare for a product to earn more than 4.5 stars, especially when that rating is the average of thousands upon thousands of reviews. So when we saw a no-frills New Balance sneaker had earned 4.6 stars across almost 81,000 reviews on Amazon, we had to tell you about it.The New Balance 608 V5 cross trainer is currently a bestseller among men’s cross-training shoes on Amazon, and the women’s version also has plenty of glowing reviews. The PU foam insert provides both support and comfort, while the blended mesh and leather upper is designed with breathability in mind. You can walk around feeling supported thanks to the specialized rubber content heel panel that reduces compression and the internal shank.The shoes do have a lace-up closure, but come with a heel pull tab that makes it easy to still slip these on and off. The phantom lining inside is odor-resistant and has minimal seaming to prevent irritation to your feet.Reviewers love the comfort and durability of these shoes and the fact that they come in so many sizes, especially in wide sizing. They’ve been recommended by reviewers’ podiatrists, and one even called the 608 the “only shoe I’ve worn that hasn’t hurt my feet.” (Podiatrists have recommended similar styles from New Balance in previous HuffPost reporting.) For reviewers with plantar fasciitis, these sneakers “virtually eliminate any foot pain,” according to one review.Other reviewers have been purchasing nothing but New Balances for 30 years because of their reliability. Multiple reviewers mention purchasing these for a birthday, even several years in a row. If a shoe isn’t birthday-worthy, we don’t want it.Those looking for men’s sizes can get the 608s in 6.5-18, with medium, wide, X-wide and XX-wide options at both Amazon and Zappos (Amazon has several more colorways in stock). The women’s version comes in three colors and sizes 5-12, with medium, narrow and wide options at both Amazon and Zappos.With so many glowing reviews and a price tag well under $100, these shoes could become your new go-to for running, training, everyday walking and more. Below, check out some more promising reviews of the 608s from people who have bought them.“I have loved this style of shoe since 2006. They have not changed their style, comfort, sizing or quality!!!!! I have that platers issue with my feet the sharp pains and somedays it hurts so bad to walk. I can wear these all day and my feet pain is gone. My feet are not tired at night anymore. You don’t have to break these in for them to be comfortable! I can’t buy these in stores anymore around my area so when I found them on Amazon let me tell you I was excited! My feet are happy so my life is happy! And I got to love the color pink! I’m 44 years old and yeah on the chunky side but these shoes make my everyday life easier to handle. They are super lightweight, the traction on them is so nice, I don’t slip on ice, I love they are all leather so they don’t rip, they are flexible and super stiff. I don’t have to buy inserts for my feet to be comfortable either. Again these shoes are my life saver!” — Catie Blossom“These are the best shoes I have ever owned! I have had them for over a year and use them constantly and they are still in top shape. My feet never hurt no matter how long I am walking or what I am doing. Highly highly recommend.” — Mike Swanigan“I finally found a good pair of shoes to wear with my jeans. They feel good on my feet and they look good. I had a hard time finding a reasonable priced pair of shoes that weren’t fabric. New Balance is a good brand. I also use them for walking on my treadmill. They’re comfortable and my Podiatrist ok’d them. He wanted me to wear a good pair of shoes to protect my feet. It’s a win win all the way around.” — Shopping Queen“I have been purchasing this brand of walking/running/training shoe for many years. Specifically, I have been buying this particular model (608), as they always fit my feet like a glove. Not too many manufacturers make a shoe that fits me, as I have extra wide feet, and most New Balance shoes are available in wide widths. Quality is outstanding, and they look good too.” — Ted LongThe original version of this story was published on HuffPost at an earlier date.Trending In ShoppingMore In Shopping
