These shoes meet my exact needs. They're waterproof with black leather upper and sole. They provide great arch & side support, as well as toe room. It took about 3 or 4 days to break them in, but now they're truly comfortable and are worn daily. They're ugly, but great for gardening & walking.

I stand on my feet all day at work and mostly in one spot which is very hard on my feet and legs, these shoes are very spacious and I should have bought a 1/2 size smaller. I don't like how the top of the shoe dents in near the toes, this makes the shoe look sloppy and too big. I love the roll bar.

I purchased these shoes for work. I work at a hospital so im walking ALL DAY. I was having trouble finding shoes for people who overpronate and went through excruciating pain. But after receiving help from a wonderful employee at a new balance store, I purchased these along with new balance's pressure relief insoles, and the combo is absolutely amazing. I am so happy that I found a shoe that I can walk in all day with absolutely no pain. And my overpronation is terrible. The only reason i didn't give this a 5 star review is because after wearing the shoe it stretches a bit and they become slightly loose. They are also very bulky and not to pleasing to the eye as far as style goes. But if you're looking for comfort and have moderate to severe overpronation, I'd definitely suggest giving this shoe a try.

I wear them everyday. They have made some changes to the shoe I didn't care for. The shoe box was enlarged, for people who wear orthodics, I wear orthodics and never had a problem with the shoe box, also the heal was widened which I like a heal that is narrower so my feet don't slide in the shoe. I have been wearing new balance for years.

Adult daughter with disabilities. She walks each day and wore through her NB. Shoes no longer available, tried something new. She said this shoe leaves her with no ankle or knee pain after walking. He has low muscle tone so this is great. Prior review warned of the short laces. It's true so makes it hard for her to tie shoe on her own.

I was hesitant to order the v3 based on the reviews, but Ive been relying on these shoes for 10+ years to get my feet through 12hr nursing shifts. Im relieved the shoes are still very supportive of my feet! Yes, the tongue is weirdly short, but that is more of an inconvenience and unrelated to the shoe's supportiveness. I hope they fix the tongue on the next version.

I really liked the color and the shoe had the right padding and arch for my foot.

I work with kindergarten students and am constantly walking. Our school floors are concrete and these shoes absorb the shock.

Daily shoe for arch support! Have had many pairs & colors of 928's. I am disappointed that your 25% discounts never apply to these shoes. Seniors need discounts too!

I bought myself a pair and went back with my mom to buy her a pair of 928s. The shoe feels bulky at first, but after a few days, it's absolute comfort. Both my mom and I replaced the insoles. Not the prettiest and stylish shoe out there, but darn its comfortable & supportive for long walks.
New Balance, if you are listening, do not change the shoe. Someone wants something prettier? Buy a prettier shoe. Leave this one alone.

I ordered the 928v3 in bone and really like the look. I did find that the tongue is shorter than the different pair I got earlier. The shoes are comfortable and true to size.

I have wore the 928v3 for years. Just got a new pair, the tongue is made to short now. What is going on, can't they leave well enough alone!

These shoes felt true to size. Not a lot of cushioning. I need a shoe with a rounded deep toe box which these have. I wore them all day the first time to get a feel of how to rate them. Will try with my orthotics or a cushy insert and they should be fine. Like the color for a leather-like look--something different than black or white.

Liked the shoe but I ordered in a Standard widih as the recent orders have been too wide at Wide. This shoe was so close but I have bunions and they rubbed. I will probably reorder in a Wide.
Only reason I didn't give all stars was the quality of leather (on all leather shoes) has changed.

These shoes have great stability I've been buying them for years. Very sorry to see that they've cheapen them though they used to be real leather and were very nice now there that fake leather. The man at the Shoe Store tried to tell me it was leather but no leather smell at all

I bought theses shoes for work and they're great. I am flat footed and also have ankles that tend to turn in so I was drawn to these specifically due to the roll bar. They work well but I have to admit my ankles still turn inward however not as much. Over all I love them!

20 years ago, I was told that this shoe (and the model before it) was expensive because it was made in the US. No longer! but the same price.
Initially, they look and feel great, but there is something about the imitation leather that makes the shoe break down and not give the same support.
Why?

I previously wore Brooks Addiction Walkers in leather, but it appears they have discontinued them. So I am hoping these New Balance leather shoes will work out. I have flat feet, wear orthotics, have a large bunion, and a hammer toe. I think I should have ordered several different sizes to ensure I had the best fit. Next time I think I will do that. The shoes seem too wide so I need to wear two pairs of light socks. It took me awhile to break in the shoes, but I finally am happy with them. One problem, believe it or not, is that the shoe laces are extremely long. Do you have a shorter size in beige?

I've been on the hunt for new sneakers for a while but didn't want to pay the price for the 955 that I love so much. Wanted to stick with New Balance because they make an excellent shoe right here at home. These are a great compromise. Comfortable, roomy in the toe box and feel very stable. They are not as supportive in the arch as my 955's but I am happy with the purchase.

I have worn out over 40 pairs of 928. The V3 is good, but the V1 was by far the best version of this shoe. As a letter carrier who walks 60+ miles per week, I know a good pair of shoes. Please bring back the V1. Until then, I will keep buying these.

I wear these for work (cleaning houses). I find them very supportive and comfortable. Though they are suede, I do not find them to overheat my feat. Hearty shoe. Holds up for a long time.
