Customer Reviews New Balance 928v3

The 928v3 offers great support. The 928 alleviated a lot of my fatigue. They fit right and keep my feet stable. The only down side(for me) are the short tongues

Shoes fit well, just like always, but disappointed in the quality of the leather in the uppers now. Leather is rough and does not take polish well (hard to seal and shine). insoles seem to be not as supportive as before.

I have one artificial hip and the other hip has spots of arthritis. Thus, it can be difficult to walk any distance. I have expanded my exercise routine to include walking. These shoes are really supportive and help a lot. If I had one complaint it would be these need a more cushioned sole but if they did that it probably would lose some of the support. I would recommend to a friend!!

The original 928's where a fantastic shoe. The 928v2 was a disaster...poor fit and uncomfortable. The v3 is much improved.. comfortable and fits well. But as others have stated, for some reason the toung was shortened, and if the top most lace holes are used the toung rubs against the top of the foot.

I was disappointed in the newer version of the 928, New Balance needs to return to the earlier iteration of this shoe. The tongue is too short, making the two eyelets in the back useless. That's a part I need to customize my fit. The toe box seems smaller, again something I need because of previous surgeries. This shoe has gone from being an essential for work to a reason to start shopping for a better shoe. It's a shame.

Extremely comfortable, runs just a sliver long but still worth it. Will just drop half a size next time. And there will be a next time.

I'll say what other people have said: TONGUE TOO SHORT. TONGUE TOO SHORT. TONGUE TOO SHORT. What was the designer thinking? What was management thinking to have approved it? It wasn't like that on earlier versions. Otherwise it's a great shoe. Very comfortable. Its widest size is wide enough to accommodate even my extremely wide feet.

These are a great shoe, but for the money, they should come with a better quality insole. Every time I purchase NB, I have to fork out another chunk of change for a good quality insole. Raise the price of the shoe to cover the extra cost of a good quality insole, and be done. As it is I purchase a pair of shoes which has a decent insole, but have to trash it, when I purchase a better quality one. This method is both a waste of money and resources. Please NB, get with the program. The insole makes the shoe.

After wearing the V3 form a number of weeks I like them. They are closer to the V1 than the V2 ever was (V2 was a horrible shoe!). They were comfortable out of the box and feel great when walking or standing for long periods. I will echo other reviews in that the tongue is way to short. Wish you would produce a 928 leather mid height as you do with the 990

I like to use the last two eyelets when I lace. Tongue is to short.....had to return.....otherwise would be a great shoe.

Great fit, still love New Balance after all these years. Seems that the tongue is a little shorter than normal, makes them a little tough to get on

order size larger than normal to be comfortable with a quality walking sock ... spend a lot of time standing or walking each day on the job and this shoes provides the comfort and support I need

Good Quality. You can really feel like you have good support, versus other lower quality models.

The shoe has a comfortable insole and a nice toe box. Slightly narrow.

The shoe fits very well and provides a lot of support.

I have long big toes, and this shoe doesn't crowd them. Been using NB Sl-2 lasted shoes for 11 years, and this is the only shoe I can work in. It's good looking enough for my work environment, a four star hotel spa. But as a massage therapist, I would love to have an oil-resistant sole. Inevitably, oils and lotions make the rubber outer sole swell and come loose from the shoe. Because of that, the life of the shoe is less than a year.

This is my first purchase since the 927's. They run narrow, so now I have to wear a wide width. That was no problem. The only other downside is the tongue. It needs to be longer and wider for better ankle support. New Balance Management, please correct this issue so more customers will be happy in the future.

This is my third pair - work well but the lining on the counter wears out within a year and the tongue is a little too narrow
