Customer Reviews New Balance Hook and Loop Leather 928v3

This shoe runs very short. I liked the color but I think that it would be hard to keep clean since it is covered in fabric. I had to return it.

I wanted the black womens 928 with the Velcro straps. Received the ones that lace up. Very disappointing.

I have severe tendinitis in my feet, and these were recommended by the Dr. I am on my feet 8-12 hours a day, and it did relieve much of the pain on the sides of my feet. It has, however, exacerbated my plantars fasciitis to the point my heel is in constant excruciating pain.

I have problem feet. I have owned several 928s. My favorite was v1. My toes are squeezed with subsequent versions. And the soles feel harder with the newer versions. This is particularly true with the black ones. I feel like I am walking in hard-soled street shoes, and the bottoms of my feet are sore after walking any distance in them. I could walk almost silently in v1 because the cushioning and sole were so soft. The later ones make noise because the sole is so much harder. I ordered a longer size. My toes still hurt. I kept going back to my v1, but they have finally fallen apart. I kept my latest 928s because I have yet to find a better replacement. But I am looking. What have you done to the 928s?

Have been trying to order it in white for many months. The only way I got it - finally - was to order a width bigger than I needed. I don't want colors. I want white - which goes with everything. Other than that, it's okay.

These are alright but to be honest NB shoes simply aren't as solidly made as they were and it's maddening. Used to love the 1540v's- impossible to find now. These will have to do, but they're not as good and a bit mushy even with my orthotics. I'll keep hunting for quality. This isn't the shoe of my dreams- adequate at best

I have worn the same walking shoes for several years. This is the first time I've ordered them online; I am very disappointed with them, as they do not have the cushy foundation that I am used to. In fact, I had to purchase Dr. Scholl inserts so that they would be comfortable for walking.

The TONGUE of this shoe is WAY TOO SHORT and way TOO NARROW. It slides under the laces constantly and can't be pulled out. This bunched up tongue then puts pressure on the top of the foot, moving around and causing pain. Then the laces loosen, the shoe gets loose and no longer keeps the ankle in place. The back starts sliding up and down providing no support for the ankle. This skimpy, narrow tongue is a huge design flaw in an otherwise very good shoe. It could also be softer and not so stiff. That would help also. PLEASE REDESIGN THE TONGUE. Make it bigger, wider and more comfortable!

Cushioning in foot bed seems to be thin feet hurt after a couple hours of work on a 12 hr shift

This would be a great shoe if the tongue were a decent length. It is way too short. It slides under the laces and bunches up and I'm constantly having to try to pull it out, which is not easy. It's so short it's hard to grab it. And it doesn't stay, it slides back under again. PLEASE New Balance, add some length to the tongue!

THE QUALITY OF THIS SHOE IS NOT THE SAME AS IT USED TO BE... ONLY HAD THEM FOR A FEW WEEKS AND THEY ARE ALREADY GATHERING AT THE TOE! THEY ARE STURDY AND COMFORTABLE - BUT NOT THE SAME QUALITY. CERTAINLY WILL NOT LAST AS LONG AS MY OTHER ONES DID

I usually purchased 857, but you quit making them. It was recommended I purchase this model. I don't like how them feel and they don't hold up to my job. I'm on my feet 8 hours a day. This is the first time I'm very disappointed in your shoes.

What happened to the mesh upper 928 white shoe? I have been wearing them for years and prefer the mesh as they don't make my feet sweat like the leather ones do. Also, why can't you add a bit of color on this shoe?

Support with Rollbar is very good but shoe is too stiff for my preferred comfort. Actually intended to order 936, but now see those are no longer available.

Comfortable shoe but feels like it is made of plastic

Have not had the white leather available in my size for numerous months. Lady I spoke with said this would be an equivalent shoe just suede not leather. Shoe was way narrower in the toe box area.

I have bought this type of sneaker in the past and they fit perfectly. This one does not fit as well. These appear to be a bit smaller.

This was not the shoe I wanted but it will do for now. The tongue bunches up under the shoestring when I tie it.

I have bought this shoe several times, and only recently am finding a problem. My baby toes, especially my left one is being squished. What gives? New design change? I so wish you would make 6E footwear for those of us that have to wear braces. It would make life so much easier. Different colors in large sizes would also be nice! Thank you.

I've been buying New Balance sneakers for 20 years. It used to ve a good solid shoe, great support, comfortable. I am very disappointed that the quality is not as good as it used to be. Tge shies are stiff & support not as good as ot used to be. Disappointed

I walk on the outside of my foot and my ankle rolls when walking in grass or plush carpets. The only shoes I find that I can walk safely in are Shoes of this type. I have a pair for work in an operating room and pair for regular wear. Problem is there is no cushioning in these shoes and I have severe foot pain from wearing them. I replace the insole with Dr Scholl's and that does help with the pain somewhat. For the most part, my feet hate these shoes but my ankle likes them. Why can't you put a better insole in these shoes?

I love these shoes, but the white seems to be out of stock everywhere. The black leather are not my style.
