I think New Balance should listen to the consumer and begin producing the WX608 cross trainer under the original specks. Even though New Balance claims the changes made to the New Balance were minor, the effect on the society is major. There are many people in need of these shoes. Please at least give us the option to purchase the old model. Countless hours are being spent trying to find a comparable shoe to the Original New Balance 608.
I really thought this might just be me yelling into the void about my aching arches but seeing this response is honestly wild. It feels like we are actually hitting a nerve here and honestly it is so validating to know that I am definitely not the only one mourning the loss of the perfect sneaker.

I absolutely agree that the original 608 was a better shoe for me. It was comfortable and provided very good support. the new version is too spongey and does not support back and hips.

I loved the original! The new designs are not comfortable. It's really a shame NB had to mess up a good thing.

I have some of the original. Man I'm going to hate when they're gone. Please bring back this design. Hope you didn't burn that bridge!
