Is the MX608 good for lifting weights?

Yes. The flat, firm base and stable leather upper suit squats, deadlifts and machine work. It is less suited to jumping or sprint work because of its weight.

Does it come in wide widths?

Yes. New Balance offers it in normal and wide widths, which is rare among cross-trainers and helps shoppers with broad feet.

How does it compare with the MX624?

The MX624 is the better-known leather cross-trainer and is slightly lighter. The MX608 offers similar stability with a polyurethane insole and is a solid alternative if the 624 does not fit your foot.

Most owners say it fits true to size in the standard width. If you are between sizes or have wide feet, the wide option is the safer pick.

Can I wear it outside the gym?

Yes. The leather upper and simple white design make it a common everyday shoe. Just expect it to feel warmer than a mesh sneaker.

What is the shoe made of?

A leather upper, textile lining, polyurethane insole and a foam and polyurethane midsole over a rubber outsole.

About the New Balance Men's MX608

The New Balance MX608 is a leather cross-trainer built for the gym floor, with a polyurethane insole and foam midsole for cushioning underfoot. It comes in normal and wide widths, which sets it apart from most training shoes that only run in a standard fit. At 14 oz it is on the heavy side, so it suits lifting, walking and all-day wear better than fast cardio or agility work. Owners rate it well for comfort and fit, though some find the break-in stiff and the shoe warm.
