Customer Reviews New Balance WW928v3

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

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.

It is very hard to find a nice looking athletic shoe that has a FIRM sole and a rollbar. I have numerous foot problems -- achilles tendonitis, plantar fasciitis, peroneal tendonitis, arthritis -- and I am still young-ish. But my podiatrist said to get these shoes because they have a firm sole which will take pressure off my joints and tendons and that is exactly what's happened. I am already feeling relief and can walk again without crippling pain. New Balance, PLEASE do not change the firm sole on this shoe! It has just the right amount of cushioning and firmness. I've heard rumors that a new version will be coming out with a "more flexible" sole. PLEASE DO NOT DO THAT! Flexibility is NOT what people buy this shoe for -- it's the opposite of what we need. You've got a million other styles with flexibility. Leave this one alone! (Do however, make the tongue longer and wider. It's too short and slides under the laces.)

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

I buy these shoes all the time but this time it seems they are more narrow than usual

I have ankle problems and this shoe gives good support for 2 mile walks and every day activities.

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 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

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.

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?

Comfortable shoe but do run small. I normally wear a 12, had to return and order size 13.

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!

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!

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.
