Tight across toes and back of sneaker not high enough to support my orthopedic Insert

I bought and returned the WW928v3 Navy/Grey suede in 7W. I found it to be stiff and with very little give. Uncomfortable. The toe area needed to be wider for my comfort level. The New Balance shoes I've bought in the past were wide, comfortable and supportive. Can't find that anymore.

I tried both the 8.5(2E) and 8.5(4E). The shoe did not feel comfortable, and would need to be worn for awhile to "break in", also, while the 4E was wider than the 2E, it was actually shorter in length and instep height, making the shoe feel smaller than the 2E. All in all, not a comfortable shoe and not something I would personally recommend.

Have never seen a shoe run so small. I buy 11 womens because I need to put rather thick orthotics in there. Had to squeeze my foot in when I put them in. (I do take out the liner) With every other mfg the 11's are super roomy but my big toe was touching the front in these. I ordered an 11med and 11 wide but really couldn't tell much of a difference. I ordered a 12 for my DH and same thing; was a full size smaller probably...very tight. Guess I'll stick with the Saucony's.

I spent lots of money on these shoes, and when I first tried them on, they felt good, but after wearing them a half hour, I felt like I was walking on blocks of wood. Unfortunately, since I have worn them, they can not be returned. I would not recommend these to anybody.

I have been a NB customer for years. Have loved all the shoes I bought with the exception of this one. I was recommended by the store clerk to buy this as I needed a good walking shoes with orthotic support. However, I can barely walk without experiencing discomfort and pain as the shoes are very heavy. I feel I wasted a lot of money on a pair I can't wear. Have worn it for maybe 10 times.

I am 90 years old and have problem feet. My foot Dr. recommended New Balance, which I had, so I now have 3 pair in a larger size. I was looking for a beige -tan color and this looks greige. Also sneakers are quite heavy . You really need to make more tan colored sneakers to wear with yellow, chinos, greens and turquoise. Sorry but pink,mauve and "Hot" colors don't look good to me. The foam sneakers are much lighter on the feet. I have several pair of them but I am missing tan.The 1080 foam series are the best for me, I love the black ones especially as they are only black and white,not some garish color. They are the most comfortable I had navy, but the loud pink was unattractive to me and now I have to go up a size so I can't wear them . I am looking for a navy replacement also .

I bought the same size as my last pair of NB shoes, but these are smaller. They also make an odd moaning noise when walking. It's from my socks rubbing against the shoe opening.

I wasted my money on these...I needed the greater comfort of the New Balance Fresh Foam 1080 v9. --I have a Morton's neuroma in one foot - and this shoe did not help it. The Fresh Foams are much better. I do think these look durable and solidly constructed.

I have been purchasing New Balance sneakers since the 1990s. These are very stiff with no flexibility. They are also on the heavy side. Would not purchase them again.

I prefer the old white / leather ones. These ones tried hard to offer a new alternative, but they were not attractive and they did not go with my clothes.

I had a pair of similar shoes that I loved. The number of the shoe was similar to the shoes I had. The new shoe was cut differently. The heels were wider and did not fit. I assumed the new version would fit like the old. Very disappointed. I returned the shoes but I still haven't received the credit for the shoes. After 2 weeks I expected the credit to appear on my card.

Needed larger size than 7-1/2, so ordered size 8. On arrival the size 8 was no larger, may be slightly smaller. The heel was too narrow and very stiff. Uncomfortable shoe, returned them.

I purchased these shoes to help with my plantar fasciitis and I broke three bones in my ankle a few months ago. I also, tried a shoe named Gravity Defyer. The Gravity Defyer shoes are Amazing! Compared to these shoes - which do not have as much support, cushioning or stability. I will never go back to New Balance shoes.
I'd also recommend:

To accommodate the need for support and a wide toe box, I ordered the 928 in a 2E. It is okay in the toe box, but the rest of the shoe is way too wide - so my feet shifted around in the middle and the heel. Also the tongue is way too short, can't be used with either of the last two lacing holes. Disappointing. I'm going to try the 847 in a D width. As others have noted, the subsequent versions of NB shoes are inferior to the original versions. Why not leave things alone if people like them.

I bought the 928v3 to walk on my treadmill. I do not like it as much as the 628. In the future I will stick with the 628 sneaker.

I returned these because they do not have a big enough toe box for me. I've worn 928 for a long time but they changed because I didn't have enough room.

I agree with others who said it feels like a steel boot - very uncomfortable. My podiatrist said I should get these but now I am regretting the purchase.

Very boxy and ugly design . Seems very cheap -worst new balance shoe I've ever bought. Could not get the laces through the holes on top. I need the rollbar as I broke my foot last year. I walk 5 to 9 miles a day and go through these pretty quickly. Couldn't get the one I had before. Would not buy this one again.

I bought the 928 v 3 and ordered the same 4E width, but the toe box was short and narrower than my last pair. I returned them.

I have bought this style many times before and have been very satisfied. However, this time the shoe feels much narrower. I have to have a 4E size because of 6 foot surgeries that expanded my foot size. The previous shoes have worked well with orthotics, but this new one feels very tight. This is the ONLY shoe I can wear so I find it disturbing that these no longer fit like previous models.
