So far, so good, better than v2, BUT, as a replacement for my old WW928 with Rollbar (very important for me) this new 928v3 feels like the rollbar is missing, or smaller. Compared to another model without a rollbar, this DOES seem to have one, but diminished from the original 928. It's still better than no rollbar at all, still a good walking shoe. I use some orthotic devices, and they work well added to the removable footbed in the shoe. In the old 928, I removed the footbed competely, and only added the orthotics. With a diminshed rollbar, the extra seems to work okay.

I have been buying these shoes for several years. I walk and spend a lot of time on my feet. These are nice strong shoes which offer the support I need. The style was recently changed and they look rather clunky. My granddaughters asked why I was wearing boy shoes. I wear them for the support, even if not stylish.

The 928 size seems to run larger than the 2016 model 928

I love the shoes except for the very narrow tread spacing. Soles tend to pick up and hold lots of very small stones. The stones tend to scratch vinyl and wood flooring; and the stones are very difficult to to get out. Also, the soles are thin and wear out too soon.

The 928's are the shoe for me. I have tried the leather but I do not think they feel the same as the suede when I walk. I bought the blue suede because I wanted color but I do not get that roll feeling that I get when I wear my tan suede 928's. I will buy another pair because they do give me the support I need.

I have been wearing this style for well over 10 years. When the v2 came out I was disappointed but they were still better than any other shoe. I do like the v3 better than the v2, but not as much as the original. The tongue is too short, the shoe is not deep enough at the heel and it's not quite as wide in the toe box. I like many others would like to see this more like the original. Also all white leather would be nice.

Nice shoes. Made well. Comfortable now that I have the right size. I had to buy 4 pairs and returned 3 but finally got the right one. Customer service is awesome and refunds come quickly. Version 3 is much .or like the original 928. Stay away from version 2 unless you want really narrow shoes.

I was so disappointed; I ordered a 7.5 4E and they just didn't fit right. They aren't wide enough of the left foot and they just weren't comfortable. I have to return them.

The fit and style were fine; unfortunately, they dug into my feet right below the ankles making them too uncomfortable to wear.

The New Balance WW928v3 is a very nice shoe, as it should be for the price of over $150.00! I love that it is made of a leather upper, and I LOVE the color. It is a greyish-beige or a beige-y grey, so it is not true to either color but coordinates well with many things. The leather upper in this color makes me want to keep them. This shoe fits my feet well in my usual size 9.5 W, however when I remove the New Balance insoles and insert my prescribed orthotics, the shoe feels too tight in the toe box on my left foot. Wearing very thin socks helps initially, but inevitably the result is the same - they are simply too short in the toes for my problem left foot, and as such eventually cause cramping. I also dislike very much the wide, flat outsole, with almost no contours. It is almost straight-edged without a narrower 'waist' or 'lifted' portion under the arch, which I believe makes these shoes stiffer and hard to flex. This may be a result of them being designed for Unisex sizing, which I find to be unsuitable for my needs. I could try a 10.0 W, but I will most likely just return them. Thank goodness for Zappos!

Toe box was too small. Upper eyelets were impossibly tight.

There was only one thing very wrong with this pair. I couldn't get the laces through the eyelets. They are stuck, even as I return them.
I've ordered Brooks, sadly to say.

I have a couple of different style NB shoes and they fit perfectly. This style was just very different in fit (Need 7 1/2 W). Tried couple of sizes but could not get a comfortable, safe fit . Really like the color and style, but had to return all. Zappos very helpful with returns.

My left foot is a half size larger than my right. However, with this shoe the left foot felt OK but the right foot fell too large. Even the shoe looked a bit longer than the left one. Both tags had the same size listed. The style was......meh. The color was very bland. Might like it better in a navy or black/white combo. Also I need a neutral support and this shoe didn't fit the bill.

Disappointed. I have purchased New Balance shoes for years because I need a narrow shoe. I tried this looking for better arch support.This was the first time a narrow NB shoe actually pinched my foot. I also found it more rigid than is good for walking. I am returning them.

Too wide. My feet do run on the narrow side but I used to be able to get a great fit with NB. The length was good (8.5, my usual). The arch support was okay, but even with the laces cranked up pretty good my foot was sliding around in the shoe. Bummer. Back it goes.

Didnt feel like an EE width and the roller bar was very hard and noticeable. The colors are nice though.

These seem well made but there's no arch support at all. And they were not wide enough for me and I ordered my normal double width.

The size was right but the shoe slipped up and down on my heels. Too clunky and heavy for me.
