I am returning these shoes. The shape of the sole is very non-conventional and the sole is very thick.

I have used NB for 20 years.The shoe had toolbars it was stable and I could wear them all day and it was great .The ones I bought this time is so unstable your Feet will go side to side it feels like you are walking on plastic crossbars you slip from side to side on the heel.I will no longer buy any more NB.Why did you do away with the roll at.

This shoe is noticeably larger than its white counterpart. Same stated size, width, and style but I can put two fingers easily i behind my heel. Not so with the white shoe. I am disappointed.

I know these reviews are personal opinions and I have been wearing NB walking/running shoes for years, always very satisfied, purchased this particular one because apparently the color white is not an option anymore for other styles. I take my dog on a brisk 3-4 mile walk every morning however with this particular model we don't reach 1 mile and I feel I have bricks on my feet. Heavy and uncomfortable shoe certainly not suitable for walking any distance at all. Had other shoes with similar style and were perfect walking shoes. Very disappointed in NB, waste of money, wish I could return them but they are destined for the trash.

The information said the shoes were narrow. I need shoes that are 2A. Your "narrow" is about a "B". I am therefore sending them back and just order 2A in the future

Relatively poor replacement for the venerable 1700 series, which disappeared recently. Looks almost the same outside, but your feet definitely don't appreciate the giant step backwards in construction, and comfort! Not a happy transition for my feet!

Bought the shoes after my Model 811 shoes literally fell apart on the soles of the shoes. These new Model 928V3 look like the 811 pair so we shall see. I hardly wore the 811 pair before the soles started disintegrating and big clumps of the soles would come off, Will let you know how the 928 pair work in 6 months.

I have worn NB 928 walking shoes for forty years. Recently the tongue is much shorter than before, which for me is extremely problematic. The tongue slips down into laces area with very little material to grab. The problem is bad enough that I am planning to try other brands of shoes if the tongue is not lengthened.

Have been buying NB for years. One reason is that they fit consistently well. I've not bought anything but NB in years. This shoe will have me shopping around. I returned it.

First time purchasing this particular model and the tongue is far too short. If the last lace holes are used or if loop lacing methods used the tongue is so short the laces work off the tongue onto top of foot and is very irritating.

So what happened to New Balance? Drinking the globalist kool-aid apparently. All 7 previous pairs (i buy one pair a year) were MADE IN USA... So guess what, this pair is MADE IN CHINA! I did NOT mind paying $140.00 for them previously because they were MADE IN USA and feeding American families. Putting money back into the US Economy. Apparently US employees do not need jobs. Apparently US employees are not capable of building a "high end" shoe as this pair "is" (that the used to be able to do but no longer can???). It bothers me that I paid $140.00 for a pair of shoes, that used to be made in the USA, is now made in CHINA. Why doesn't NB cut the price in 1/2 since they are paying squat to folks in China to make them. I can see (not that i would buy them) NB making shoes "abroad" and selling at a lower price because the labor rates are 1/50th of what they are here in the USA. But $140.00 for a pair of shoes that no longer supports American families is very bothersome. I will be looking elsewhere for USA made shoes for my next pair. I wish more Americans would do the same.. READ the labels where they are made. I probably wont be buying NB online anymore because you never know what you will receive, apparently. This is my last pair of NB shoes. To think I was supporting a company that cared.

I texted with New Balance and asked for a walking shoe made on the SL2 last. Two shoes were recommended. One had a mesh upper and the one I ordered was leather. I wear a 11 1/2 Wude in the NB 940, which I have worn for years.

Where do I begin with this... To say that I am disappointed is an understatement. I've always had decent luck with NB sneakers. After shattering my ankle, my doctor has recommended footwear with ankle support. I've bought the same style in other colors and never had one be so uncomfortable. So, let me start at the beginning... First, the shoe fit properly. It didn't rub the toes or have any other issues fit wise. The brown leather wasn't bad either. While I admit to looking like a middle-aged, soccer dad wearing them, they don't show the dirt and grime like the whiter versions. As far as the cushioning and heel support, boy was I misled by the positive reviews. Reviewers said these were really comfortable. From the moment that I put them on, it felt similar to walking barefoot on concrete. An hour into wearing them, my heels hurt, and my feet were tired. When I switched back to my older shoes, the same style but in white, I didn't have the same experience and they were well on their 12th month of use. For the price that you pay, I would have expected better. At least reimburse a customer for having to buy inserts to make them more comfortable.

The tongue is too short on this shoe. Had to return them. I love my other NB shoes but this model needs to be impru.

I kept this pair way too long to return it. The shoes are relegated to garage duty. I have been wearing 928s exclusively for years. My Version 1s and Version 2s still serve me well. I did have to replace the thin and useless foot bed with aftermarket foot beds to get the support that I need. The length of the tongue in Version 3 was shortened from that of earlier versions and barely contains the laces. The shoe causes my foot to strike the ground too hard during my stride. The design of the sole (like earlier versions) traps small seeds and stones in the tread and requires use of a screwdriver to get them out. For the price of this shoe, I expect more.

The quality is much inferior to the 575 purchased long ago. The straps are too long and don't present a very good appearance.

I bought this to improve comfort for Hallux Rigidus (turf toe). I felt the shoebox was a little too tight and caused the toes to be pressed together. Also, it feels like there is a rod or support just under the toe joints that add pressure to the toe joint as you walk. The shoes appear well made, good quality but the comfort factor is a real issue.

Rather stiff and uncomfortable compared with 669's. Probably a better shoe for some, but returned these, kept the others.

I always take a size 13, but the 13 in this style is too short, more like a 12. I'd try a 14 if it was a store purchase, but I don't feel like sending shoes back and forth by mail. It's a nice looking shoe though, and appears well-made otherwise.
