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)..

A lot of my friends and I wish you would make this 928 v-3 in medium grey. A lot more people like the medium grey !!!

I wear orthodtics in my shoes and must have Motion Control shoes. I am wondering if this is really going to hold out and give me the
the support the 928 v 3 all leather shoe gave me. Fit is a little different- tighter than the all leather shoe.

I love the shoes and they are very comfortable with one exception. My ankle on the left foot rubs against the edge of the shoe. I fixed the problem by adding an insert and enjoy wearing them.

I think others mentioned this, but the toe box is short. This is unfortunate, because a shoe like this is designed for comfort and I expected more generous space for my toes.

I was shopping for stability and support. I like the upgrades on the walking strike path.

These are very attractive shoes and not terribly uncomfortable, but tighter on the toes than other shoes made on the same last. Because they are suede, I am hopeful that they will stretch some with wear to become more comfortable.

I have dreadfully flat feet and these shoes really help keep pronation to a minimum. I have purchased several pair of this model over the years and they really help.

love the shoes. a little heavy, but that is just me...I am recovering from a head injury and charcot foot injury, so that colors everything over...but great shoes nevertheless...

I've been buying this shoe for years. In the olden days it fit perfectly on initial wearing and provided the support and comfort I need. Later models have required a period of "breaking-in" as they rubbed one foot in one place or another such that I had to change shoes after a 1 to 2 mile walk. Sometime it was the right foot and sometime it was the left foot, depending on the specific pair of shoes. It is still one of the best shoes I can buy for my feet so I work through the break in period which can be weeks.

I work long hours on concrete floors, and these are the best shoes I have found this far. I wish their was a but more of firm support, especially at the arch, but they more than do the job.

I bought these almost a year ago, not knowing that the version 3 would be larger than v2. It does not fit me well at all, therefore I will have to return them. I recently decided to try the same model 1/2 size smaller, and (I guess because I'm between sizes) this worked for.me. But I am not happy with New Balance for calling is the same style. It is NOT. It also has a lower heel back, which is not good news for those of us who wear orthotics. Sigh.Why do they do this???

Shoes look and feel great, but, the mesh get spiked very easily in FL: soul so sandy. Preferred the
Original all leather version, personally. Note that a lot of us Sr's wearing your shoes: stability and fit most quoted reasons!!!!!

They are still the best shoe available but New Balance doesn't make them as good as the older versions. Not enough cushioning near the toes. Can use more cushioning in general as they are a bit stiff.

I used to purchase the original 928's and always ordered 5 1/2 -4E and this new model V3 is a 1/2 size bigger and wider than the old version - I returned for a 5 /2E and they fit like the old ones.
