The shoes I purchased were not good. I have worn them 3 times and they have stretched. I need a different one of your pairs 10B & return this stretched pair. Not what I am used to from New Balance. Thank you

Continued complaints about the "short tongue" in these shoes suggests that this design problem has not be corrected since my purchase in November 2017. Short tongue precludes lacing to top precluding use for Serious walking, limiting use to casual wear. My pair was purchased in November of 2017. A that time I posted a review calling attention to the apparent design or manufacturing failure. Reviews posted earlier in 2017 had already noted the problem. I find it disturbing that that these "reviews" no longer are included on this site. Gray suede shoe is quite attractive. Unfortunately, the inability to lace them to the top without the laces rubbing the ankles and irritating the skin precludes its use for "serious walking", limiting my use to casual wear. I was prepared to purchase another pair if the problem had been corrected. I was further disappointed the read the similar complaints regarding the the newer 928v3 shoe in tan leather. Obviously, , no one is initiating corrective action in response to these reviews. I would be most as interested in buying a pair in tan suede if available with a "tongue" of the proper length

Toe box narrow at toes, so 6E pinches. The 813 toe box fits will. To much arch for flat feet. Returned for 813 - fits and feels great.

It’s too hard on my feet, the cushion, the leather feels hard. Maybe wearing them one more week will soften them

This version of the 928 walking shoe unfortunately does not "Roll" as you walk like the earlier version. The heel impact is jarring and then the front of your foot feels like it just flaps down, will not be buying this version again.

I buy 3-4 sneakers per year. I have two unused boxes that I may return due to the frustrating tongue that is too short. I would have rated it 5 stars if not for the tongue issue.

Very nice looking shoe, very dressy looking, unfortunately that's where the compliments end. Although the shoe looks and feels good as long as your not walking in them, the shoe will not bend with your foot movement. Try to imagine having two 2x4s strapped to your feet. These were 928v2, hope the v3's are better.

I've been wearing NB Walking shoes for over 15 years. They've declined in quality with every "redesign" This one now has a tongue so short the laces ride up over and dig into your feet. Comfort and Support for top of the line shoe, just average! Shame, were top notch, not this model.

After enjoying the comfort and spring of the first two versions of the 928 walking shoe, I am really disappointed with the tinkering that went into Version 3. For some reason, a decision was made to go with a short tongue. The result is that the ties inevitably cut into my foot after the tongue slips further back into the shoe. The rest of the shoe is great, but this feature is a serious impediment to a comfortable walk.

I have been wearing NB 928s for years. The shoes I got looked like 928s but they didn't feel like them. These shoes hurt my feet and knees. No way these were New Balance shoes. So much for buying on line

My husband never even tried on the sneaker. The picture depicts laces and the description describes laces. He was sent sneakers with velco straps. This is unacceptable as these are for work.

The first day that I wore these shoes, they were extremely comfortable. By the third day, I felt like I was walking on pebbles and the right shoe didn't support my foot properly.

Ordered these for my teenager, who wears a New Balance size 15 - 6E in a different style. These were too tight to get his foot into. Poor design, does not reflect sizing across brand. Will return -- thanks for your help as always, Zappos. New Balance needs better quality control for its sizing, especially for people who wear larger sizes in extra width, as it's already a huge hassle to find shoes that do the job.

These shoes are strange in that the toe box is very wide and the heel is very narrow, so my heels felt like they were being pinched while wearing these.

How does NB make a shoe with the left shoes tongue shorter than the right???? Not a very good walking shoe, the width was larger than it should’ve been

Something feels wrong with the toes. The sole is thick until the toes, and then it seems to get thinner while curling upwards so my toes aren't touching the ground. As my foot rolls forward, it sort of rolls downhill towards the thinner part of the soles, which is uncomfortable. It feels like my toes can't apply full force on the ground. I might be able to get used to it over time, but I'm worried that it might affect my non-shoe gait. I don't know what the designers were thinking. I've been wearing New Balance shoes for at least 35 years and have never encountered a shoe with this kind of problem before. I just want the same simple, black, all-leather walking shoe in extra wide width that I've been buying for many years. I'm returning these.

Ordered my normal size and sizing was way too large. While they would have been okay for work they looked bulky and unattractive on my feet. Returned.
