I loved my new Balance shoes until you changed the sizing. They don't fit. the arch falls in the wrong place. One size slides around and the other is now too small. This is my last purchase. I need a shoe that fits. I don't know why you changed this.

I have been purchasing New Balance sneakers since the 1990s. These are very stiff with no flexibility. They are also on the heavy side. Would not purchase them again.

These shoes are very plush but too big for my narrow feet

Had a previous pair, loved them. These do not fit the same. They are not the same shoe although they are the same size

I prefer the old white / leather ones. These ones tried hard to offer a new alternative, but they were not attractive and they did not go with my clothes.

I had a pair of similar shoes that I loved. The number of the shoe was similar to the shoes I had. The new shoe was cut differently. The heels were wider and did not fit. I assumed the new version would fit like the old. Very disappointed.
I returned the shoes but I still haven't received the credit for the shoes. After 2 weeks I expected the credit to appear on my card.

O.K. for shopping. Shoe feels stiff and without cushion. I was expected a great experience

Needed larger size than 7-1/2, so ordered size 8.
On arrival the size 8 was no larger, may be slightly smaller. The heel was too narrow and very stiff.
Uncomfortable shoe, returned them.

I purchased these shoes to help with my plantar fasciitis and I broke three bones in my ankle a few months ago. I also, tried a shoe named Gravity Defyer. The Gravity Defyer shoes are Amazing! Compared to these shoes - which do not have as much support, cushioning or stability. I will never go back to New Balance shoes.

To accommodate the need for support and a wide toe box, I ordered the 928 in a 2E. It is okay in the toe box, but the rest of the shoe is way too wide - so my feet shifted around in the middle and the heel. Also the tongue is way too short, can't be used with either of the last two lacing holes. Disappointing. I'm going to try the 847 in a D width. As others have noted, the subsequent versions of NB shoes are inferior to the original versions. Why not leave things alone if people like them.

I bought the 928v3 to walk on my treadmill. I do not like it as much as the 628. In the future I will stick with the 628 sneaker.

I returned these because they do not have a big enough toe box for me. I've worn 928 for a long time but they changed because I didn't have enough room.

I agree with others who said it feels like a steel boot - very uncomfortable. My podiatrist said I should get these but now I am regretting the purchase.

Very boxy and ugly design . Seems very cheap -worst new balance shoe I've ever bought. Could not get the laces through the holes on top. I need the rollbar as I broke my foot last year. I walk 5 to 9 miles a day and go through these pretty quickly. Couldn't get the one I had before. Would not buy this one again.

Looked like old lady shoes, also too long since they didn’t offer 11.5. Kept them but are going to Goodwill after wearing a bit.

I bought the 928 v 3 and ordered the same 4E width, but the toe box was short and narrower than my last pair. I returned them.

I have bought this style many times before and have been very satisfied. However, this time the shoe feels much narrower. I have to have a 4E size because of 6 foot surgeries that expanded my foot size. The previous shoes have worked well with orthotics, but this new one feels very tight. This is the ONLY shoe I can wear so I find it disturbing that these no longer fit like previous models.

I have worn New Balance 926-928 for over a decade, but these are the only ones that did not fit my 11Wide feet well. They are at least 1/4-inch smaller than my orthodics that fit in my others. Additionally, the newest 928v3 has mesh where the older ones had leather. The mesh makes them look like any other sport shoe; whereas the leather made them appropriate for town occasions, rather than sport. Many wear this design because they need orthodics the podiatrists recommend. PLEASE bring back all-leather and correct sizing.

Another NB where I had to check the box to be sure I had been sent the right size. Reviewers are saying NB has gotten cheaper and I guess it has. Just a stiff shoe with nothing going for it. I wear 12 N

I may hae to give the shoes away. they are way too tight. I ordered the right size but they really hurt my feet. I had a pair before and wore them nearly everyday with no problems. This new pair are a loss.

The sizing is okay and the shoes may be fine for strolling along a sidewalk, but for frequent walks at a pretty good rate on the trails in a local park, they are horrible. The shoes are heavy, the sole inflexible and they offer little support.The tongues could be longer too, as frequently the laces end up behind them. I kept the shoes too long to make a return, so I am trying to make the best of it by wearing them a bit each day, for example, to mow the lawn. But geez, they are uncomfortable.

While the interior of this shoe seemed roomy and flexible, the base seemed too narrow at my arches, and the material didn't provide a sturdy enough side to keep my feet from rolling over. Returning.

Stretched out within two weeks causing loss of support.
