And comfort for exercise and casual wear. Why We Love Them We like New Balance’s 608v5 Shoe for its solid impact protection, reliable support, and budget-friendly price. During testing, we found that the shoe’s plush, supportive cushioning kept our feet and joints free from pain and fatigue. Our tester, who has a history of ankle, knee, and heel injuries, felt comfortable and confident during high-impact activities, such as running on concrete sidewalks. We liked how the shoe’s cushioning and upper hugged the contours of our feet for a secure but not constricting fit. Even when wearing this pair for 12 hours during a music festival in hot weather, they felt supportive and breathable, with no discomfort, rubbing, or chafing. We were also impressed with the shoe’s sturdy, durable outsole, which provided good traction on various surfaces, including grass, pavement, and gym floors. Also available in women's sizes at New Balance and Amazon. Potential Flaws Although we like this shoe’s ample support and cushioning, it’s heavier than other shoes we tested and may feel a bit bulky.Most Valuable Insight“I feel very confident in the shoe's ability to support my ankles. My feet just feel secure and supported in the shoe and so the worry of rolling or twisting is lessened so much, thanks to their sturdiness.” —Steven Roland, Verywell Fit product testerMeet Our TesterOur tester has a previous ankle injury, as well as collapsing arches and a history of heel pain. He appreciated this pair’s stellar support and cushioning that kept him pain-free when walking, running, and standing for long periods.
