The MX608v5 is New Balance's long-running men's cross-trainer, built for the gym floor rather than the running track. It pairs a leather and mesh upper with a foam and polyurethane midsole, and adds cushioning at both the heel and forefoot. Wide widths are offered, which is the main reason loyal buyers keep coming back. At around 15 oz it is heavy and stiff compared with modern knit trainers, so it suits lifters, walkers and guys who want a stable, roomy shoe rather than a fast one.
