NB 608's are hard to find and was very happy LL Bean is carrying them. I need a leather shoe for my work place and it's getting difficult to find an all leather upper instead of the mesh; which are a no no at work. This walking sneaker is comfortable and makes it through a full year of my abuse.

I ordered these as I needed more support than my current trainers were giving me. I found that support in these shoes. I ordered a half size larger as suggested and I wear a fairly thin sock and they are perfect.

I have long narrow feet and 90% of shoes out there don't fit well. Shoes to fit are usually expensive so I have been making due. These NB shoes are great and a very reasonable price. They will last for many years. Score!

I have worn these sneakers for years. I have not been able to find them recently. I needed new sneakers during this pandemic. Bean's had them in stock and shipped them immediately. My feet love them.

I've been advised to wear New Balance as they have a larger "toe box". I wanted to try the leather cross-trainer for more support and perhaps longer wear for aerobics classes. So far they are comfortable, supportive and not at all stiff. I sized up to 8 1/2 to accommodate orthotics and they fit fine.

I have plantar fasciitis and have to wear prescription orthotics. I take the inner liner out and my orthotics fit in the shoe perfectly. I love the 608 series and won't wear anything else. Also, I can get these in narrow width.

Ordered size 6 which is what I wear. This shoe was way too small even with it being wide. Will order whole size larger, hope it fits. Very nice shoe.

I have bought these every year for years. I always wear a 7 in shoes. In these I wore a 6 1/2, until this year. This year the 7 fits perfect.

This shoe fit perfectly. New Balance has a great stable feel to their sneakers and this style has been one of my favorites for last couple years. Fit is nice, comfortable, and not a shoe that makes your foot look large. Good arch support, true to size. These shoes typically do not wear out like some other brands, but I refresh them annually to keep a fresh pair to change into.

I have been wearing this style New Balance shoe for several DECADES now. They fit so well and last a long time. ( I wear them during the day and to go walking for exercise.)

I love these shoes, especially in cold/windy/rainy weather. They fit and feel really good and help keep my feet warm when it's cold and help keep out water. I buy these same shoes over & over because I love them so much.

These white ones, with a little bit of blue trim, fit like a dream and are extremely comfortable. I only wish there was more "mesh" (?) fabric in the uppers for additional air flow in the hot summer months. Otherwise, they are 100% perfect (just like the ones in black that I ordered many months ago). I highly recommend them!!

These shoes are comfortable and fit well. they have a little splash of color around the logo which I like. The material on the uppers give the foot support. I would recommend these sneakers to anyone wanting a good pair of shoes for an active lifestyle.

I have narrow, flat feet so fitting running shoes can be challenging. These were a half size smaller than what I normally wear so I returned for a 9 1/2. They come in narrow and the removable inserts are must haves for my orthotics. No break-in needed to be just great. And my feet don’t look like skis!

These are great. I prefer leather shoes and these fit the bill. This is one of the few places I can find narrow width shoes off any kind. I'll keep buying here.
