I like these sneakers--but the toe box on my left foot (which is just a tad longer than the right foot) kept bumping up against the front of the sneaker. They are boxed and waiting for a new home, as I wore them outside long enough to realize they were irritating my toenail, even with thinner socks. I think the old NB toe boxes may have been just a bit higher or longer to accommodate both feet, but this pair didn't work for me.

I was previously walking in a pair of 990s and they were great, but I decided to try an actual walking shoe. These fit really well - I often have trouble with sizing in other brands. I have worn these on several 2+ mile walks on flat and hilly terrain and my feet are happy. The only issue I have is a pressure point on the inside of my right foot just about where the top-most eyelets are. I can adjust the tongue and lace tension to minimize it, but ultimately I am hoping this will resolve as the shoes break in. It is not enough discomfort to distract me while walking, and it could be that my foot is the issue rather than the shoe. I just mention it as the one issue I am having. Otherwise, well pleased with these walking shoes.

I'm a mail carrier so logging a lot of miles with these. They are comfortable except for the tongue is way too short. Causes issues when it shifts into wrong spot.

I can't believe NB goes up to womens size 13, it's awesome. This is a very well made shoe, but just a very tiny bit wide, although this may be because I usuallydon'twear socks. I will be purchasing NB in the future.

I have to wear a brace on my left foot so the extra wide size allows the shoe to fit over the brace. The rocker bottom helps with with my walking.

These are a sturdy walking shoe with a firm sole. The D width is excellent for me. Speaking of which, there are very few options in the market for D or wider widths for women. It would be great if there were more options in wide so that I could get something with more current styling. Also, I'd love to have more shoes constructed with suede/leather as the majority are in the mesh fabric.

Bought this shoe for walking. The deep foot bed meets the needs of hammer toes. The wide width provides comfort that's difficult to find in other shoes. Altogether great for my purposes of long urban walks and local trails. However, the tongue of the shoes tends to slip shorten as it is used. It would be useful to correct this problem.

They're okay. And for me, that's saying a lot. As I am petite in build, they are heavier and more clunky than I would wish, but I can wear them.
I'm reasonably happy with the appearance and very happy with how they lace up. The laces do not remain securely tied, however, and it is a nuisance to have to keep tightening them throughout the day.

Use walking. They are rather too stiff, much stiffer than my last pair, and seem heavier. I liked my old pair (same shoe) better

I can't help but wonder why people w/foot problems are stuck with such unattractive shoes. I want shoes which look like any other sneaker. I'm sure they are fine for some, but I sure don't like the way they look. I've bought my last pair of these clodhoppers. I'm gonna get some high top sneakers and I'll deal with my foot pain with medical cannabis or something. Come on, New Balance, you can do much better!

I put on my new wide-sized shoes and they fit fairly well. The only issue I have is that, even though the shoes is a "wide", I still need to loosen the shoe strings very much around the top widest part of the shoe; it still felt tight. So, once I loosen the strings and break them in, I should be able to wear them regularly.

I have worn NB 926, 927 and now the 928. This is a great walking shoe for people who need lots of arch support. It has a very roomy toe box, which is great for wearing orthotics and it gives plenty of toe room if you are affected by neuropathy in your feet. I am female and wear either a 9 men's 2EE or women's 10 2EE. The men's 9 has a bit more length than the women's size 10. This is a great walking shoe for pavement but is awful on paths or slippery slopes as the sole has absolutely no traction. I wish NB would come out with an equivalent shoe for those of us that like to hike trails with the same shoe last and roominess as the 928. It would be nice to have some current color options for those of us tired of plain black, white or ugly brown leather!

Very stiff and not as narrow as I thought. Had to add footbed to make it fit properly. I'm used to my NB trail boots which always fit fine.

I do like the shoes. I was trying I wear a size 9.5 and was helped to buy a size 10 in Wide at the New Balance Store near us. I have a broken toe and the strong sole helped me. (The person who assisted me was fantastic! By the way) I thought buying an extra wide size 10 would help me even more as I was starting to get the formation of a corn. Not so. A size 10 extra wide was large all over. I think I will go to store.

I love the deep toe box and width these shoes have. They make my everyday walks and activity comfortable and supported. I wish the tongue of the shoe was a bit longer. It doesn't want to stay in place.

The first pair of shoes I purchased were a size larger. Return was easy. I called to speak with someone in person before ordering second pair in one size smaller. The person on the phone was courteous, not necessarily super knowledgeable about shoes. The second pair fits well and supports my flat feet to some extent but not completely. Another brand which does not make shoes but has sandals works better for me.
Any way I keeping these for now when I need light pair of shoes for walking.

this sturdy shoe that is great for walking standing and rain. It is my go to shoe for winter because the leather keeps my feet warm.
This size is unfortunately too big but I do appreciate the extra width.
The laces are always too long.
