The photo and description indicated that the color was light beige or tan. However, the color is actually medium grey, not even a light grey.

Comfortable with a good fit, BUT - needs more arch support. I will definitely need to add my own inserts.

Comfortable shoe but not as good as the original 928.

I wear a 9.5 AA and shoes are a challenge. These fit better than I expected and are excellent for walking several miles each day. They are much heavier than I expected and certainly weigh more than any of my other walking shoes. Having said that, they are worthwhile and in the rain, perfect.

I am happy. I did not have to get white. I got a taupe or whatever you call the color. I would like to have velcro or self tying laces on the shoes. I can depend on New Balance to have a bigger toe box than most shoes.

These work great for a person who stands on their feet all day at work. Roomy and comfy.

I was trying to replace my last pair of New Balance shoes with this purchase. In the picture they were very similar. The new shoe is much lighter & the fit is roomier. I haven't been able to wear them for much more than an hour at a time (because i've been ill.) They seem to be o.k.

So sorry! My shoe is the 608. Similar shoe and colors but with strings. Whichever I get, I get two pairs. Same problem, tho.

The shoes look great, but would still like New Balance to take this style back to ALL leather and All white. I need to wear these all the time and the blue is a little less every occasion suitable. It's hard to say about fit. I ordered my 7.5 wide with, as I've always worn in these, these are true to size, but a tad smaller. It seems like the toe box, wide-with, has less room then in the past and they seem a tad shorter too. I usually put them on and go ahh,but this time it was; hmmm? I'm not sure if it's due to me wearing the 813 New Balance ties, because of not being able to get my 928's for awhile, and just forgot the 928's feel & fit.. I got the 928's right before Christmas and haven't started wearing them daily. The x-wide is too big & wide, that they crease badly, at the toe bend, showing a improper wear & fit to the eye, as well as feel sloppy. So far, my Velcro tab closure 928's are the best, but I always like my 928 ties for days of a lot of walking. I need the rollerbar and the sole cushion the 928's provide.. I'll give these 928 tie shoes a go, but if they end up a problem with rubbing my foot sore, not sure what I'll do.
Please New Balance, don't skimp, let quality slide on what is known as a quality style, brand and disappoint those of us that rely on you for helping us with our need for a proper fit and comfort.

I have bought this shoe for a while and like it very much. My last pair did not seem to have as much support as usual. I hope New Balance has not changed how the 928v3 is made. Please do not mess with a good thing.

I used full-length orthotics (rigid), so I need a shoe without arch support, i.e., neutral. Of the 928v3 series, the blue suede is the nicest looking. I have the 928 before they started modifying them to v1, v2, v3. My take is that New Balance cut back on materials, both in quality and quantity. I have a history of ownership, so trust me on this one. The toe box is a bit narrower on the new versions. Great shoe.

It's true to size and width. It needs to have more padding in the heel.

So far so good. The toe box is giving my toes the extra room they need. However, it might be a couple of months before I can tell if I am wearing out the shoe from the inside as I did with the previous pair that we one size width smaller. I do wish they made a shoe with a choice of toe box width and heal width. Even using the runners tie I still feel that the heal is a little loose. On the right shoe which is on my smaller foot, I find that the tongue keeps slipping down and the tie ends up not being on the tongue but under neither it after a while. I have switched to a heavier sock but that might negate the wider toe box. Hope not!.

These are my winter everyday shoes . They offer good support for feet and legs and are warm. I am 81 years old and have bought numerous pairs thru the years. I am disappointed that the leather used has been changed...this leather is much harder and is causing chaffing on my ankles and causing discomfort.
I would rather pay more for a better quality product ...I am sure that You know what I am referring to!

Review goal: to be of help to those like myself who wear full-length orthotics. My orthotics were cut specifically for the original 928, before the v1,2,3's. The toe box had become smaller and shallower in v1/2. V3 is better due to feedback from customers. I like the suede shoe, although $5 more than the other, cheaply-made versions. My orthotics fit this shoe, and they are not thin-and-minimalist orthotics.
I had to return the other colors because the quality was awful: New Balance has cut corners with quality and amount of material. Leather, stitching, and amount of material were greatly reduced. The purpose was not a "style change" but rather to make more$$$ by providing less.
The blue suede seems to be of decent quality relative to the other colors of "pleather" or cheap leather. The sole is quite an improvement on the original 928s. Holding on to my several pairs of 928 originals to take to shoe repair for new soles. It is worth it.
Bottom line: orthotics fit in the v3 shoe.

The shoe looks great on, but runs a tiny bit narrow.

This shoe fits beautifully and is a great walking shoe (in fall and summer weather - no traction in winter months with snow!). My one complaint is the tongue. This may seem odd to some, but the tongue has a design flaw. Where the leather and cloths section is sewn together makes it difficult (for me) to get it tied securely. Loosening the shoe lace is also frustrating. The sew area is "in the way".

Hunting for all leather black New Balance shoes. I currently have two pair of 847s, v2 I think, that are a great fit in 8.5 M (I wear them with replacement NB insoles for arch support & etc.) This shoe, at least the pair I received in 8.5M, fit so differently and was so noticeably longer and wider that I actually checked to make sure it wasn't a men's shoe instead. (It wasn't.) Going to try a half size smaller.

I use these shoes for taking long walks in the park or thru the city. They are the only shoes that I can wear on longer walks as they provide the perfect support. I also buy the leather as my toes push thru the nylon.
I wish the following:
1. You could provide the same support in the nylon type and just make allowances for toes pushing thru
2. I wish you had more colors than black, grey and white
3. I wish they were not so expensive

I was very fond of the original 928. The leather of this new version is better but it is still too stiff. The original was very soft and bendable. Please try to remake it in version 4. The toe box is perfect. My feet are very wide at the toes with a bunion.

I have been buying this style of NB for the past 12 years because of the wide last.
But I miss the original upper design (version 1)..
