Customer Reviews New Balance WW928v3

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!

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.

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.

I have never worn a narrow shoe, but no matter how much I tightened these, they slopped around on my foot. Also, the color is listed as gray, but they really are a tan.

I originally tried the same size I wear in the 1540, but it was much bigger. So I tried this smaller, wider size because I need toe room. However, when walking I feel like my feet are slapping on the ground, unlike the 1540 which has a nice feel to it. After 1 day wearing them, I couldn't wait to get them off. The sole felt like a hard plank and the inside was not nice on my feet. Also I need toe room, and they made them narrower than my old 928's. So unfortunately I wasted my money on these very expensive shoes and will have to keep looking for something that supports my foot and is comfortable, and good for walking.

Great walking shoes

Long term wearer of original 928's. Loved them even before foot surgeries and orthotics became necessary. Originals accommodated these changes to my feet beautifully. Then came V2's .....a total disaster for the 928. The V3's corrected some of the V2 flaws, but New Balance never should have ruined the original 928 by trying to remodel it, no matter what the intention. Don't mess with a proven product! The V3 is narrower in all respects, especially in the toes. The toe box is not as deep, the heel is more shallow, the arch is not as supportive, and the whole shoe is less flexible than the original 928. Better than V2, but tell New Balance to make V4 exactly like the original 928 and they will win back a bunch of formerly devoted customers.

Shoe was comfortable enough but the toe area is way too boxy. Would be a good choice for people with bunions, etc. Too clunky for me though.

Unfortunately I have to return these as I must be falling between sizes. The 10 was a little short but my heel slipped quite a bit in 10 and a half. The show box does feel much deeper than my last pair of 928"s bought 3 years ago and shoe feels much stiffer but perhaps they are not broken in. The style is exactly as pictured and it does appear well made, just not for me. Thank you for your courteous service.

Returned them. Too long and narrow. Not like the original 928s. Liked the blue suede, but the width was not accurate. Returned and disappointed . Not made well

I first ordered my size 8 1/2 M. They were way too tight, using my inserts as usual. I ordered the 9M, and 9W. I have never worn a 9 before. I settled on the 9W because they felt, better on the bottom of my feet. I waited a couple weeks to write a review. Like other reviews, they are cut lower, therefore needed to use last lace hole, making the laces much too short, and the tongue too short. Since the bottoms of my feet don't hurt, I'm keeping the 9W. I'll probably try another brand on my next pair. The dark navy does make my feet look smaller.
