I LOVE these shoes! They are the only ones that are comfortable on my feet and so I am always looking for extra pairs. Thank you for carrying them.

I needed them to replace my old ones. They are hard to get. Fit nicely all around.

I use this type of shoe regularly for volunteering and in the gym. New Balance is not my favorite but the sale was to good to miss. The shoes are comfortable but I need a thicker sock to make them a really good fit

I like these shoes. The tops are a little higher than most walkers I've worn, so they might work for short hiking. My left foot has been sprained several times, and this higher top will hopefully keep the foot from turning. Definitely order one-half size up. I purchased comfort insoles for these shoes, and need every bit of space.

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.

New Balance is my go to brand. These do not have the same fit as my other New Balance. Seem to be a bit short.

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'd also recommend:
Nike, ASICS, Adidas.

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.

Too narrow for my fat feet. Forgot that last time I had bought the extra wide.

Nice shoe, very attractive and comfortable, fits well. Not up to the standards of the original 928 shoe, but about half the price. Downside, made outside the USA, but at least it's not made in China.

Wide and bulky for my narrowish medium foot. Faux leather seemed really faux and cheap. Sending it back.

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.

After wearing the original 608, I bought another one last year and was very disappointed. They were too small, I thought they’d stretch and be comfortable like my prior pair, but they remained too small, my fault for keeping them. This time, I ordered a half size larger, and U am once again happy with this shoe. Definitely run small, I should have read the reviews prior to purchasing last year, I learned my lesson - read the reviews!!

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.
