However, I got the 888's a couple years ago (as I recall because the stopped making my beloved 609's). I hated them. Still do. The fit, sizing, feel, everything about them is completely different from my previous experience with them.
It was the 609's. I still have them. I used them for a few games several years ago and quickly retired them to casual use. I still wear them on occasion (maybe 1-2 times a month) if I don't expect to do much walking (sitting at my desk)...I added a heel cup to snug up the heel a bit so it doesn't flop around so badly.
