This shoe was so disappointing! It’s basically same shoe I’ve used daily for years but current version. It was heavy, hard (not flexible) and very uncomfortable. Another reviewer described it as like wearing a box! That’s a perfect description. I gave it a good try but had to give up. Wish I had returned when I received. BTW I never do reviews but these were so bad I made an exception hoping others won’t make same expensive mistake ?

Don’t know—clearly I need to look for another brand!

I love to walk and these are a big disappointment. The tongue of the shoe is short and can't be pulled up to be adjusted and they squeak when walking on stairs.

These shoes are like boxes. They are clunky and stiff and I will never wear them. I discarded the box or I would return them. I bought 813s to replace them. Don't buy. My husband feels the same way about his

Disappointed. The fit was good but too orthopedic looking for me and too chunky. I sent them back, waiting on my refund.

They are not comfortable and are very stiff. The tip of these shoes are rounded and not good for people with wide feet. Would not recommend for people who are over weight.

Sneaker sits too high on the ankle; uncomfortable; general bad fit. Walk daily and was looking for a shoe that would be comfortable. Bought because was highly rated but sneaker doesn't live up to the hype.

I bought these in wide hoping to wear while recovering from ingrown toenail surgery, but they are way too stiff. I'm not old enough to be wearing stiff orthopedic shoes.

This is the most uncomfortable shoe I have ever put on my feet. I paid a good price for this shoe I wore it to work one day and by the time I got home my feet and legs hurt so bad it was awful. I bought it in the mens wide as a reviewer said she did and in a womens wide two pair I will return the men's, I can not return the women's as I wore them. It's a shame to pay so much for shoes that you can not wear. Very UNHAPPY!

I've been in New Balance shoes for over 20 years and lived every pair. Until now. These shoes (And the pair before) were so horribly uncomfortable I'm sending them back. I seven returned and sized up! SO disappointed. I'd give them a zero if I could.

I've worn your shoes exclusively for 25 years. They've gone from feeling like I'm walking on clouds to walking on boards. Goodbye old friend. Next...
Disappointed!,

I've been wearing the 928 for years, from the very first version. This v3 is terrible -- the tongue has been shortened (why would anyone do that?), so it cuts into your ankle. Also, there is very little support now in the shoe itself --it's a very "hard," flat feel. And while I need a large toe box, this one is a bit too large. The "evolution" of this shoe from v1 to v2 to v3 has the shoe getting worse each time, an example of "if it ain't broke, don't fix it." Please go back to a regular tongue and to the support this shoe has been known for!!

I ordered these in the leather grey and white mesh in my usual size 9EE the 9 is way too long and when I tried the 8.5 it was too short. The grey is really nice but the sizing of this shoe is way off

Nice looking shoe but really uncomfortable in the ball of the foot. No cushioning at all, felt like I was walking on cement. Too bad, I really need a good stable stability shoe that fits my orthotics. New Balance has really cheapened their shoes. You really notice it material wise. Too bad. They use to be the best shoe company! I will continue to look. Zappos is really a credit to the people who have foot problems and have to try on a zillion different shoes before they find one that fits!!!!! Thank you Zappos!

This is my 2nd pair of 928v3's. I should have worn the 1st pair a little more before I bought another. They hurt my feet. I have blisters on my heel and the ball of my foot from these shoes. And the materials you use on the inside do not breath. New Balance...you are ruining your reputation. I gues you just don't care about the customers that have made you successful. Now you can ignore your long time customers and just sell to young people with no foot problems. If I could give zero stars I would, I'm done with you!

Version 3 does not fit the same as Version 2 did. Very disappointing. Little or no arch support. Long in the toe area.

They attempted to improve Version 2. Instead, they ruined it. I ordered the same size I've worn for years. They're too long in the toe. They do NOT offer the same arch support. Sad & disappointed.

A few websutes still offer 928 Version 2. Hurry while they last !

These shoes are unwearable and I immediately returned them. The problem is that the tongue is much narrower and 1-1/2" shorter than my 928V2's. The narrower tongue exposes the area where the laces go through the eyelets and the laces rub directly against the top of your foot. The absurdly short tongue immediately creeps down past the top crossed laces and the laces rub the top of your foot. What was NB thinking!?

The WW928v3 seems to fit my feet better than any other shoe. I have tried other types of New Balance shoes and they just don't feel as good as this shoe. I recently purchased two pair to take on a trip where I will be doing a lot of walking. I am confident I will have no problems with these shoes.

I have been buying the same shoe for many years. It is the shoe I take walks in and mostly stay in all day. It offers wonderful support. My only complaint is that they come apart after 6 months and the soles run down as well. I see folks who say they last for years. That is not my experience, but maybe they don't walk as much as I do or wear them as much. I have recently decided to wear them every other day since it says they will last longer. Of course I just wear a different pair of the same shoe. I have also, over the years, watched them go up in price a lot. What can I do? They are the shoe I wear.

I buy this particular New Balance shoe because my foot is very narrow AAA with a quad A heel and this brand are the only ones made to fit my foot. I have a lot of problem trying to buy shoes that actually fit. There is only one other brand that has produced a shoe that actually fits and that is MUNRO and their shoes are/were made in the USA!

I have too wear this style because of the Roll Bar feature in it. The top of my foot is fused, and this is the most stabilizing shoe for the condition of my foot. My feet feel very good in them. I am 83 and I am at home most of the time, so I wear them a lot.

The shoes are very attractive and seemed to fit well. I just tried them briefly because I was not looking for a leather walking shoe. I ordered them quickly without reading the description well.
