I thought I needed to spend over $100 to get a good pair of sneakers. This pair is under that amount and are perfect. I am on my feet all day and these sneakers are comfortable all day long.

these were for my husband. I ordered a 1/2 size larger than normal per the other reviews and the LL Bean recommendation and that worked out fine. He was able to wear them right away, no break in period.

I was so pleased to find this product on LL Bean. My husband has worn these shoes for years and requested a new pair for Christmas. It was great to be able to order them from LL Bean and not have to go out shopping for them. Once again LL Bean was there when I needed them. Thanks for being such a great company.

These fit just like my old New Balance. Thank goodness there's a company out there that makes a narrow width shoe. I use these for walking. And they are great. They accommodate my orthotics and are comfortable.

These 608's over the years have served me well. Comfortable well padded and light weight, they propelled me many miles without failure. Great cushioned heal and sole. I've actually purchased so many of these shoes over the years enjoying their comfort. Who needs Wingtips anymore? Gave away all the suits too.

Have been buying New Balance regularly, usually suede though. I liked the look of the black leather and bought those this time for my walking. Comfortable and true to size and remind me of my old coaching days on the sidelines.

Exactly what I was looking for - correct fit and a neutral color (white). There wasn't enough arch support for me, so I added an insert

I walk a lot at work; I would say anywhere from 10-20 miles a night. I've only worn these one night at work so far, but they felt great all night. Brought another pair with just in case, but didn't need to change them out. Made me realize just how worn my old shoes were. I need a wide width, and usually end up having to go with a men's wide for tennis shoes/boots, because for whatever reason women's wide width just are pathetic. These were perfect in both length and width. First time I've worn this brand, and so far very happy with them. Hopefully they'll hold up and last awhile.

The shoe is great, L.L. Bean has failed. I have been ordering these shoes in a 6D for many years. Sizing changed, so I went up to a 6 1/2D - I know it was a sizing change and not my foot because I put the soles of my old shoes up to the new. For months, I've been trying to purchase another pair or two, but they no longer seem to carry my size in a wide width. Sad to say, L.L. Bean, I will be going elsewhere. You've always been my "go to" retailer for many reasons. Going forward, not so much.

Because of the wider toe, shoe feels larger. Great for me due to a bone spur on my little toe on the outside. Have bad knees and the shoes are helping with the pain. Can walk longer and they stabilize my gait. No arch support, but that is perfect for me. Will only order these shoes in the future.

I have always liked the New Balance Trainers. The fit is good and they are very comfortable. I'm especially appreciative that I can get them in a wide width and that they have a traditional look. (I'm not into bright and bizarre colors on my feet!)

The sneakers fit really well - I wear size 9M and purchased 9M. My feet are pretty normal. I walked around in them for a bit, but I haven't had the chance to try them at the gym yet (COVID). I'm sure they'll be fine based on how good they felt just putting them on, Cute too!

I love these and have been wearing them for years [5 or 10 or more]. I was distressed when they were out of stock last summer and was so happy to find them back in stock this summer.
