Nice shoe but too big for me and they were out of the next smaller size.

I must return them; although regretfully. The right one is just a bit too short; I wear orthopedic inserts over the shoe inserts so I have to compensate. Also, they are very heavy. The leather certainly would be durable and wouldn't wear out!

It felt like I was wearing Big Foot's sneakers. Definitely not for me. Returned.

I liked the shoes but after one day of wear they left an open sore on my toe. I have to return them, unfortunately.

The tongue is quite puffy, and not wide enough. Rubs against my foot uncomfortably. I'm quite disappointed since New Balance is the only shoe that is narrow enough for my feet.

Good idea for a design that's easier to use than laces, but it could use another strap for a better fit and support. I trimmed off the excess straps at the reinforced places so they wouldn't stick out. The comfort is far below what the 928 used to have, feels like walking on cardboard and needs more cushioning. They are durable and hold up well with the tongue being leather, but more fabric and mesh are replacing parts of the uppers, which make it difficult to keep clean. The sizing has always been accurate, and the roomy toebox is better than most of the other brands. I still can find these in narrow width, but not at every store. The price has gone up, but without improving the shoe. I usually replace the round laces with flat ones that stay tied better. Also use waterproofing products to protect the leather, like mink oil.

I usually do fine with narrower NB shoes, but these were very narrow for some reason. For the price, I was really hoping for a better fit.

This review is directed specifically to ladies with narrow feet. It's probably a fine shoe (albeit kind of stodgy for my taste) but too loose in the heel. If that's a concern for you, this might not be the best selection.

I use these every day to work in a kitchen and have found them comfortable over a long day, however, they should be slip resistant as they are lethally slippery whilst walking after a rain or if any water is on the floor.

I love these shoes, first recommended by my podiatrist. I bought one navy blue suede pair after another until...no more navy blue suede. Please, please, please bring back a little oomph in the 928v3 line by bringing back Navy Blue Suede from its hiatus!!! Dark grey would work too!

I wear a right footed orthotic and the shoes still pinch me at the top of my right toe. I hope with a little breaking into the shoe, the condition improves

The only problem with these shoes is that the heel isn't narrow enough. I take a 12 Narrow, and the heel rubs as I walk.

I really wanted to like these shoes. But after wearing them inside my house for an afternoon, they had aggravated my plantar fasciitis. I use an orthotic insert, but it did no good. There is simply no cushioning or flexibility, and very hard sole. For such a hefty price tag, they are on their way back to New Balance. I found a similar pair online, so hoping they are more forgiving on my poor feet.

I thought the Sneakers would be comfortable. But they are not. I am on my feet for 6 to 8 hours a day for work. They are very heavy, I got the impression they would light weight.

I love my first pair and needed a black pair. They fit like the first pair, however they squeak really bad, whereas the first pair didn't.

Been trying for a year to get a pair of these in gray but they are eternally out of stock. Settled for black but grudgingly
