If it's not one thing it's another. Doctor says the plantar

Certain models of New Balance shoes are recommend to ease foot and
ankle problems.
My PF was cured by wearing NB 608 cross trainers for about 6 months
but it was just an impact injury, not a tear.
608's are gone and the new versions are horrible.
Yup. I was looking at my vacation pictures and I have that same pair
of 608s on every vacation since 2008. They are still my favorite shoes
for hiking although I have a new pair of 624s.


The NB discussion page is full of people asking them to bring the
original 608's back. The V2/V3 - whatever- aren't the same. The
responses from the NB staff to the discussion questions are always
recommendations for a different series or the V2/V3 608's. This has
been going on for years. By now you would think they would have
noticed a pattern and reintroduced the originals. I have an old pair
of real 608's in brown that I rarely wear but use as a benchmark when
I try the others.


Are these the original?

It's hard to tell. The laces cover up the text. If you look at the
white you will see what looks like "608 V4" on the tongue so I would bet
they are all the newer versions.

I will let you know. I was just looking at where the rubber meets the
road. For $70, it was worth a look.
