Customer Reviews New Balance WW928v3

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.

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.

The shoes are not comfortable unlike others of the same size and design.

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.

The sizing is okay and the shoes may be fine for strolling along a sidewalk, but for frequent walks at a pretty good rate on the trails in a local park, they are horrible. The shoes are heavy, the sole inflexible and they offer little support.The tongues could be longer too, as frequently the laces end up behind them. I kept the shoes too long to make a return, so I am trying to make the best of it by wearing them a bit each day, for example, to mow the lawn. But geez, they are uncomfortable.

Stretched out within two weeks causing loss of support.

I have been a fan of New Balance walking shoes for more than 17 years. I loved and bought every new generation of NB walking shoe , specially loved 928 V2. But not this time, not 928 V3 . 928V3 is less support, bottoms of shoe are thinner , somehow 928V3 make my feet and knees sore and tired. I cannot return them since I have worn them for a week. I might have to try other brands of walking shoes.

I like every generation of NB walking shoes, but not this one, not 928v3. 928V3 is less support than 928V2.

My orthotics do not fit well in V3. The arch support does not line up. Bring back v1, they're the best.

I have been wearing NB 928s (version 1) almost exclusively for casual and dressy occasions since 2013 because I have hallux rigidus, a bunion, and a bone spur on the top of my foot. They were SO comfortable - I didn't have foot pain as long as I was wearing them. Since Version 1 is no longer available, I bought a pair of Version 3s last week - what a disappointment!! As I read in other reviews, the tongue is shorter, but more importantly, the quarters (the two leather pieces on either side of the top that the laces thread through) are also too small. On my V1 shoes, when they were laced up, the edges of the quarters were parallel, about 1-1/4" apart. On the new V3 shoes, they are about 1-1/4" apart at the bottom, and almost 2" apart at the top, and they still feel as though they are tied too tightly. They look as if my feet are swollen, but they are not. You had such an excellent product - why did you have to go and change it!!?? I'll be looking for something else next time, but I paid too much for these V3's to just throw them away. Ugh.

In the past, I was able to wear the 927's then the 928's and loved them, until they took away the soft area that gave room for my bunions. Such a disappointment! . I need the anti-pronation feature of the 928, and like leather so that I can wear them in a variety of situations. Running shoes are not great to wear with slacks. Please bring that soft area back to the 928.

I am so sorry! But these HAVE to be returned! I was so hoping these would be perfect! But, they are too short and too narrow! I have always known that NB runs small and accommodate for that. I ordered the same size I have been wearing for in NB for YEARS! I started with the NB926! They were PERFECT! NB927 were pretty good, too. All of the NB928s have been a complete DISASTER! ( This is my 3rd pair!) I thought, from the reviews, I would be getting back to the shoe that helped my poor old feet so very much. But, NO. I am devastated! I have ingrown toenails, hammer toes, Tailor Bunions, flat feet, and I over pronate. I see a podiatrist every 4 -8 weeks. NB926's and NB927's were such miracles to me! I am going to visit my (military) children and grandchildren in Europe and needed fresh new shoes for walking a LOT! These 928v3 actually HURT when I put them on. (They DO look nice, though!) I am so very sad and must search for a new brand to, hopefully, help my feet enjoy my trip and my work, which is 8+ hours of walking on concrete floors. I cannot begin to tell you how this saddens this loyal customer.

I got someone else's shoes and so I returned them. Than instead of having my order shipped to me I was told to reorder them. Well I don't think I want to do that. I still am waiting for my refund. I don't like the fact that I did not get what I originally ordered plus I had the trouble of getting a return address label plus I had to ship it back. I am a senior and I thought ordering on line would make my life easier. It didn't it complicated it.

The toe box is too small and I wore them twice before I realized they didn't give my fore foot enough room. I always wear NB and decided to try these as I thought they would be warmer. I should have sent them back before wearing. If you need room in the toe box don't buy these.
