I've owned 2 pairs of these in the blue suede and gray and loved them. That choice seems to no longer be available, so I ordered the leather in black even though I found them very unattractive. Same size. The leather are too short and my big toe hits. Mind you I order these in one size larger than I normally wear. So I guess I will have to look for different shoes. I don't know why manufacturers change products when they are already great.

These were big in a 7WW. I would need to try the 6.5 and then who knows about the width. I wear NB all the time so this was a surprise. Next time I need smaller sizes in NB. If you try these, get a smaller size for sure, or buy 2 sizes to try the right fit at home.

These are my feet's favorite shoes but they are rubbing on my 5th metatarsal head and giving me pain.

The fit and size were good. They are probably quality shoes. I did not like the way the right one felt on top; I couldn't get it to feel good on my foot. It remained too loose. Perhaps I do not need so much of an athletic shoe. I am sorry to have to return them; I am disappointed because I really liked them.
Thanks Zappos for being so easy to work with. you will continue to be my store for shoes.

I needed a shoe to walk in that would take my custom orthotics and give me support. I tried the Orthofeet shoes and find them too soft. My podiatrist recommended I try New Balance. These work fine. They are also roomy enough that I could add a layer of cushioning to help with the pain in the bottom of my feet. They do seem to be a little high on the side of the foot, which has softened with wearing. I also do not use the last lacing hole as the shoe then cuts into the top of my feet. Worth trying.

I bought these shoes because I stand on my feet for long periods at work and I really like the support they give. I do agree with the others who say that the tongue is too short. I lace my shoes up to the top eyelets and the shorter stiff tongue rubs/bumps against my ankles. I want to keep buying this shoe, so I hope something is done about need to lengthen tongue.

I have worn this style for many years and find them quite comfortable. I just wish you were still selling them in blue.

I'm a mail carrier so logging a lot of miles with these. They are comfortable except for the tongue is way too short. Causes issues when it shifts into wrong spot.

I can't help but wonder why people w/foot problems are stuck with such unattractive shoes. I want shoes which look like any other sneaker. I'm sure they are fine for some, but I sure don't like the way they look. I've bought my last pair of these clodhoppers. I'm gonna get some high top sneakers and I'll deal with my foot pain with medical cannabis or something. Come on, New Balance, you can do much better!

I love the deep toe box and width these shoes have. They make my everyday walks and activity comfortable and supported. I wish the tongue of the shoe was a bit longer. It doesn't want to stay in place.

The shoes are okay but the sides are too stiff and rub my ankles. I would not purchase another pair

True to size with a high and large toe box. But not deep enough for my custom rigid orthotics. Heel was also a bit wider than older new balance shoes with this last. I have narrow heels but need a wider toe box, so this last usually works.

This is the only shoe I can wear over my braces. As a young woman of 33, it would be nice if you could snap up the colors and outside appearance. Consider the young folks having to wear this shoe and only choose black, white or brown.

An honest review from a mail carrier. I walk 11.5 miles a day. I typically buy the new balance postal shoes but they are not expecting to produce more until the end of the year. I wore these today on my route. Overall, they were very supportive all day. The only thing I noticed is the toebox is smaller then the postal shoes. I didn’t have time to deal with returning and playing with sizing as my previous pair of shoes were falling apart (the uppers and the soles weren’t together in places anymore) after 2k miles. I’m hoping since they’re leather, they’ll give a bit.

I love the stability of the shoe. I love the availability of extended wide widths. I dont mind paying top dollar for comfort, but do all New Balance have to be so very UGLY?

I have wore the 928v3 for years. Just got a new pair, the tongue is made to short now. What is going on, can't they leave well enough alone!

This fit was better than the Propet athletic shoes that I tried on. It had more stability for my overweight, problem feet. Width felt wonderfully comfortable
but the only problem was that the shoestring thread holes were TORN on one of the shoes! With daily and constant retying shoelaces, the shoestring holes would come looser and this expensive ($151 with tax!) would need a costly shoe repair. This is the 3rd shipment as the other sizes ordered (same as current older New Balance shoes) were way too large. New Balance apparently makes sizes totally different from previous models.

I bought both the 928v3 leather (white) and the navy suede, both 6D for women. Both are very comfortable and stable for walking. My feet don't feel tired after a whole day wear. However, I found the navy suede much roomier than the white leather, seeming 1/2 to 1 size bigger. And therefore, heavier. I still love the navy suede, esp. the color. But, I only wear it a day or two in a given week. Hope my purchase is just an abnormally. I have been a New Balance walking shoe fan all my adult life. Thanks for making such comfortable shoes!
Grateful I,

The shoe is great except for the heel and the shoe laces. I ordered a 8 Narrow because I have a very narrow heel. My heel still slips in this shoe. The style 990v5 does not slip. Perhaps it's the fact of the way the 990 is stitched in the back and not in the 928v3. I do like the stability of the 928. Also the shoe laces are too short. I am going to try to find replacement laces in dark gray to match the shoe.
