I have serious feet problems and have depended on the roll bars. This one advertised that it did. My feet hurt something awful but after I swapped out the insoles, they are doable. For the money, I am disappointed. I had hoped for a different looking shoe but the same properties at the 928s I have ordered in the past.

I can comfortably walk and wear this style daily without pain. This time I have noticed a loose thread in this pair and that is why my rating is not five stars.

I wear a size 10 medium ladies shoe and bought the 928 in a 10 1/2 Med and I should have bought wide. I bought two pair and I am stuck with them, a black and a beige. I am very disappointed and out about $300.

I thought this product ran small. I ordered a size 8.5, which is typically what I wear, but it was very tight on my foot and caused pain. It seemed a little narrow in width. Perhaps a larger size might have been better. This shoe was recommended by my podiatrist as a great shoe for people with plantar fasciitis. It seemed very supportive, but I couldn't wear as it caused me pain due to the narrow width. Also, I would like to see this shoe available in Black color and perhaps I would order a larger size and try again.

I originally purchased a pair of the 928s in white nylon for summer and was very happy with them. Decided to order the navy suede for fall/winter. They are not as comfortable as the original pair I bought. I use heel inserts which help but cannot use them for long distance walking or treadmill at gym. I am hoping as I break them in they will be more comfortable.

Shoe is well made but toe box is too high and looks odd on my foot - my 4E width is not due to puffy feet, but bone structure. Thus, the tall toe box is not needed. Very disappointed.

Exchanged for size 12 ( no 11.5) then realized I hated them, too long, looked like old lady shoes.

The fit is fine. Disappointed in the amount of padding in the sole, expected a cushier feel. Ok for walks of about 3 miles.

Leather is very stiff and break-in is being a long process

I'm not sure what happened, but they must have changed their sizing measurements because this was a reorder for me (same shoe model number, same size) and it is a full size larger than the previous shoes. As for style...I wish NB would be make more 4E shoes that didn't look like large, white, styrofoam blocks but I guess beggars can't be choosers.

NB, Propet

The outside of these shoes hold up well, but the inside is not as comfortable from the start with each pair I purchase. Seem to break down inside quickly. I may have to find a new model, or even brand.

Disappointing because I had just purchased a pair of New Balance sneakers, 9Wide, and they fit perfectly. These were substantially too big. I chose not to exchange because could not be sure 8-1/2 would work. Nice looking walking shoe--wish it had worked.

I bought this 928-V3 shoe in white after it came back to a design similar to version 1 of the women's 928 walking shoe. It was a replacement to another shoe that came apart at the sole, the 1400V1 trailwalker, after which I tried the poorly designed 813 model that didn't fit right in several sizes. If New Balance had just kept the original 928 design, there wouldn't be this trail of returns....... The sole of this latest design of the 928 still has the tiny slits in the tread that gather every small bit of gravel and debris, plus conifer needles. The toe box is roomy, and the top edge of these white shoes is trimmed in light blue. The white mesh in this version, between the light blue edge around the ankle and the leather sides, is not as easy to keep clean as leather. I noticed the footbed looks like rubber, not like the old material, but I remove them to use my orthotics. The narrow fits my AA foot well, and the walk seems comfortable.

I am having a hard time breaking in the 928v3 women's leather shoe. It is all leather and very hard and stiff. It has no give. I wanted the 847v3 but it was not available in my size, 7 4E. I have bunions and plantar faciitis which make it difficult to find comfortable shoes. I will keep wearing them and try to loosen them up with a leather shoe softener.

I wanted to love these, and did love just about everything except the tongue on this shoe. For some reason makers seem to be making the tongues longer, wider and thicker and it impedes my comfort and stride. It makes the shoe feel tighter overall. Scale it back please!

This show runs large. But I bought it for the inside and shoe sole support. It's Clint and unbelievably ugly. I am amazed that NB cannot get just a little creative about their "great support" shoes and make them less hideous. I also bought a pink mule that is adorable as well as functional. Where your imagination, people?

Had to return the first pair due to a quality defect. Replacements were ok. New balance not the quality it use to be for sure.

This shoe was a disappointment after the previous versions of the shoe. I really dislike the mesh upper. I hate thinking I have to buy another pair, but I have such severe arthritis in my ankle and feet that I need a sturdy, reliable shoe. Paying so much for a product I am not thrilled with is going to be unpleasant.

I would say the size and width were as described. Unfortunately, I wear orthotics and these were not quite supportive enough even with my orthotics.

The whole shoe is relatively hard. Standing was hard on my arches at first. I thought they were pretty clunky. Happened to notice they keep feet pretty dry in rain. Now I always wear them when it rains. Solid shoes but I don't want to wear them more than just every once in a while.

I’ve worn these shoes for 10 years, after multiple foot surgeries. This edition, and the previous edition of the 928’s feel much more narrow, especially at the toe box. I keep trying different sizes, but they are just too narrow. The older 928 was perfect for my foot, very firm sole, which is what I need. I continue to be very disappointed in the newer versions. They look identical, but sure don’t feel the same at all. Had to return them.
