I read a lot of good reviews about NB WX608 and thought I was buying a WX608 based on the description on Amazon.  When I received my shoes today, they were actually WX608V2, which have been getting some bad reviews although mostly from those who have used WX608 religiously and didn't like the updated version.  The tag on the shoe emphasizes the no slip grip, so my first impression out of the box was I just ordered myself some safety shoes, not cross trainers.  When I put them on, I like the way they look, but since I'm used to workout shoes with mesh uppers and these are all leather,I hope 1) they're not too heavy for doing Zumba and 2) I don't get too hot in these.  The fit is very good; I bought a wide width and sometimes getting wide in athletic shoes ends up being too wide, but this time it was perfect.  I bought it because I recently started doing Zumba and need cross trainers since my running shoes aren't comfortable for the side to side and jumping motions I need to do with Zumba.  I haven't tried the shoes with Zumba yet and have just walked around the house with them on, so I'll be giving another update after I've actually tried working out in these shoes.
