Reebok Walk Ultra 7 DMX Max Wide 2E vs New Balance 608 V5

The New Balance 608 V5 is the safer pick for most shoppers. It has a long track record, a huge rating base, ABZORB heel cushioning, an Ortholite insole and three wide widths up to 6E. The Reebok Walk Ultra 7 DMX Max Wide 2E is a narrower offering: one wide width, DMX air cushioning underfoot and a lower platform. Owners of the 608 line praise all-day comfort and durability; the Walk Ultra gets decent but limited feedback.

• Choose the Reebok Walk Ultra 7 DMX Max Wide 2E if you want soft DMX air cushioning in a low-profile black sneaker and a 2E width is all you need.
• Choose the New Balance 608 V5 if you need extra-wide sizing, proven heel cushioning and a shoe with thousands of owner reviews behind it.
