With having a hard to fit foot, 11,2A, I was glad the 12’s ran a bit small since most 11’s run small and they don’t make 11.5. Taupe color is nice.

I love New Balance and have been wearing the 411's when I decided to give these 928's a chance. I bought size 10 EE. The initial try on was good, a bit too wide, but will be fine with thick socks (remember, I bought extra wide). I would keep these shoes except for one thing, there is a lump/ridge in the left sole that hits right between my toe pads and the ball of that foot. The right shoe was fine, great, in fact, no issues. I walked in the shoes around the house and the lump continued. I removed the insert and walked in the shoe without it. It was not any better, the lump was built into the sole. I am sending them back. :-( If I'm going to pay $140 for a pair of shoes, they'd better be perfect.

I love the WW411v2 shoe by NB, very comfortable.

I love this shoe. I would like another pair but they only come in black and white. Older people like me need good walking shoes but we still want color in our wardrobe. I'm not ready for the bland look. Give us more color options in these walking shoes!

I really wanted to love this shoe. A New Balance representative had recommended this shoe for my arthritis in my big toe joints. However, this shoe is narrower than other New Balance. I have several pairs of 10.5 B New Balance shoes, but the B width is just not enough on these shoes. Back they go.

This shoe is much nicer looking than the velco strap orthopedic shoes I usually wear, but it is too short. I returned this item. The size recommendation chart is off by about a half size.

They are not as wide as the originals but they will have to do. Sorry they fixed what was not broken. They do not appear as clunky but we who have bad feet with lots of hardware and orthotic devices have lost a friend. I am keeping since choices are very limited.

Shoes are wonderful with exception of the price. Due to my weight I go through a pair every 4 to 6 months but they make my feet feel great.

I've been a New Balance customer for many years and have always loved their shoes. But New Balance has changed in both quality and styles. The 928v4 are not what they used to be, but they are by far better than some of the other New Balance styles I've tried in recent years. The fit is good, a little long but the width is good with a roomy toe box. They could use a better orthotic for the price you pay for these shoes, overall, I would buy them again, but am actively looking for a new brand. New Balance seems to be going in the wrong direction,

Best shoe on the market for anyone with feet problem . The only two down falls is that they are in no way stylish. My kids make fun of my shoes all of the time and, they are not cheap.

Love the shoe, but the top eyelets are too small for shoe laces to thread through

LOVE! these shoes. love the color and they are (mostly) so comfortable. I'd give them 5 stars, but! the top edge of the left shoe, on the inside and above the lace hole rubbed a painful bleeding wound on my ankle. I am going to order another pair because this might be a manufacturing flaw, since all else was so good.

I have been buying these shoes for over a decade now! I won't buy anything else. The roll bar in the arch of my foot, gives great support.

NB is the best support shoe of all brands -- but the 928v3 is not quite perfect. I agree with other reviewers -- Tongue is too short. Bunion area too rough. Supplied shoelaces come untied even when double knotted. Traction pattern too narrow, collects and keeps gravel & mud and then are slippery. After buying leather and breathable versions 928v2 and 928v3, I still prefer my original 928's, though shabby.

They keep me from twisting my ankle and give my feet the support they need. Only down side, the traction. They are slippery when the soles get wet. Please redesign that, and get rid of the blue! Make them ALL White.

This shoe has a high collar and it is uncomfortable. Otherwise, the color is good and it has good support.
The toe box is roomy. It is a wee bit large.

I liked this shoe except that it comes up too high on my ankle and causes it to rub. Good shoe for my size 12 AA feet. Perfect for my Morton's Neuroma and has good support for my flat feet. I wish I could have kept it.

The original 928 were better & more comfortable. The tongue is too short. They do feel stable & keep my foot straight & my orthotics fit in them well. They are very stiff & trying to break them in I am on my feet almost 8 hrs a day. Please bring back the original 928!

Love this shoe. Very supportive and comfortable at the same time. I have Plantar Fasciitis. My podiatrist recommended the NB 928 and it is definitely the best shoe I've tired for the heel pain. And I've tried MANY! NB, Brooks and others. However, there are a few things to know before ordering: 1)It runs at least ONE full size too long! 2)It also runs narrow 3)The color is not tan as in the picture, it is definitely GREY. My normal size in NB shoes is 6 Medium. I had to return these for a 5 Wide! And I have never worn a 5! My normal size is 5.5 or 6. Just be sure to order a size smaller than your usual and maybe get a wide. It's a wonderful, cute, comfortable and very supportive shoe. I'm ordering it in navy also.

I have been a faithful New Balance shoe wearer in previous years. I started with 925, then 926, 927, and 928. When they came out with the 928v2, I could not even get my foot in to the size 10.5N that I usually wear. So I ordered the 10.5M in 928v2 and walked right out of them. At this point, I sent them back and went on to Brooks Addiction Walkers that I also have worn in the past. Those fit better, but lately have seemed a little short (but 11N was too long), and also did not provide as much support as the New Balance for my very flat, low volume, feet that overpronate. I am on my feet about 12 hours a day as a teacher, and have been having some knee pain. So I decided to give New Balance another try and saw the 928v3. Some reviewers said this shoe is closer to the original 928. This version is roomier in the toe box, and fits me pretty well, though the heel cup is a little shallow. Also, the tongue is shorter, and the laces are so short that I can barely double tie them. I think for the price they should put in laces of adequate length! For this reason, the shoes dropped a star in my rating. I have worn the shoes for 3 days, and they seem to be getting more comfortable. They are a very rigid shoe and it can feel like you are literally "pounding the pavement." But I need rigid support, so this is the best shoe I can find. I also wear orthotics from The Walking Company, and they have helped give me a little cushioning. If you have flat, narrow feet, these are certainly worth a try. These are the best choice for me. If New Balance would add longer laces, lengthen the tongue, and improve the heel cup, they would be 5 star shoes.
