‘Walking on clouds’ These podiatrist-approved New Balance sneaks are on sale for $60
Whether you’re using them to hit the gym, go for a walk or scamper around town doing errands, a comfortable pair of sneakers is essential. While all kicks are designed to be comfier than conventional shoes, there are a few styles that truly set themselves apart, providing the comfort and support needed to spend an entire day on your feet. One such sneaker is the New Balance Women's 608 V5 Cross Trainer, and the white-and-light-blue colorway is currently on sale at Amazon for just $60!
More than 20,000 Amazon shoppers love the comfy walking shoes, with many saying their podiatrist recommended them. That might be because the brand is “great for prevention of generalized foot soreness,” thanks to its excellent engineering and high-quality materials, according to board-certified podiatrist Dr. Nelya Lobkova.
This pair in particular is highly popular, thanks to its plush foam insert that provides extra comfort and its midsole shank that adds ample structure and support. What’s more, the shoe boasts the brand’s signature Phantom Liner that has minimal seaming to help reduce irritation and pesky blisters.
To make the sneakers even more comfortable — and easier to take off and on— the laces can be replaced with a no-tie elastic system that turns the shoes into a slip-on style.
One happy shopper who walks in them for about five miles a day while working in a hospital said it’s like “walking on clouds” before adding, “By Hour 8 my feet are comfy/cozy and absolutely no foot or heel pain. Goodbye, plantar fasciitis!”
Another who called them a “must-have” raved, “Love these shoes! My podiatrist recommended I purchase New Balance sneakers due to my feet issues. They include plantar fasciitis, wide feet, bone spurs and poor blood circulation. It's a miracle! I can walk without my feet hurting terribly, I'm able to stand for long periods of time now, and I've got plenty of room inside for my toes to wiggle. Bye-bye, ingrown toenails and calluses from the sides of shoes being too tight and rubbing up against my feet. Love that they're slip-resistant....no more falls for me.”
A third even referred to them as “the literal love of my life.” Adding, “I am a nursing student and have a job at the hospital in which I am wearing these shoes for 12-plus hours a day. I have tried out other shoes but these ones were so comfortable and help my feet not hurt at the end of the day. Plus, everyone always comments on how cute they are, and I agree.”
A pair of the light blue and white sneakers will normally set you back $75, but right now you can snag them for just $60! And if you're worried about keeping white shoes looking fresh and new, you may want to grab a pack of pre-moistened, dual-sided SneakErasers sponges that easily tackle any pesky marks and dirt that hit your feet.
