This is a punishing shoe. You will not look forward to putting it on to go to work.

Shoe is stiff and it seems that , to save $$$, the length of tongues on NB shoes just gets shorter and shorter. Uncomfortable at the tied knot area due too the short tongue. Never again.

I've been wearing NB shoes for years in 11.5 narrow. I ordered these in that size and though the ones that arrived are marked 11.5 narrow they are visibly longer than all of my other NB 11.5's by a significant amount and feel too large. They have be at least 12's or perhaps even 12.5's. Maybe they are just mislabeled. If they are not, NB needs better quality control. One 11.5 should be the same as every other. I am returning them and ordering an 11. Hopefully they will fit.

I have been buying these shoes for as long as i remember. However, they are not what they were. One pair damaged my toes and the toe nails came off. Now nearly anty shoe I try to buy from them hurts my feet. So dissappointed. Do they want to sell shoes or not.

What is the point of being a shoe company when you don't have any of the sizes! Only size 7 available. Why can't I order and size and then you make it. This is really disappointing.

I wish I had never ordered this pair of shoes. They are difficult to tie and untie because of the oversized, overstuffed tongue. It gets in the way badly. The “extra” holes for specialty knots are useless because the laces cannot stay high on the supersize tongue and therefore you can’t prevent heel slippage. Terrible design.

This shoe does not have a leather and mesh upper. No leather on this shoe. Tag doesn't indicate leather upper, only that the material was made in Vietmam. Very disappointing. Very expensive for a synthetic shoe.

Four months ago, I replaced my previous set of tennis shoes (same shoe) that previously lasted more than a year with a new pair, purchased at the local New Balance Store. This is the 3rd or 4th pair of NBs. The heal broke through on both the left and right shoes in four months. I wear these shoes maybe 3 hours per day and walk up to 4 miles. Unacceptable.

I own the tan version, and the sole is falling apart. The actual tread is separating from the layers of cushion. I've been happy with every time I bought these in white, black, dark brown, gray and so on, but these tan one failed in short order.

I had a 840 v2 with a,larger toe box. This replacement shoe has a smaller toe box. I returned it because I needed a wide toe box.

I do not know what other people find great about this shoes but I was disappointed right out of the box. It's too wide too stiff and sole is made of some kind of plastic

I have bought New Balance shoes for years and loved them. This set did not feel like New Balance shoes. It was like trying to walk in " Clod-hoppers "

I have worn New Balance walking shoes with roll bars for years. I was very disappointed when they arrived and the leather quality was so poor. I sent them back.

I have been wearing New Balance shoes for 10 years. The 928 model has never been as good in fit. or quality as the 927 model which it replaced. They still have been decent shoe to wear. After wearing this pair for two weeks I will no longer wear New Balance. I started to develop calluses on the outside of both my left and right feet in the same location . I am back to wearing SAS shoes.

If you are law enforcement, work long hours on your feet and have considered a comfortable shoe to wear on duty. The NB 928 v3 is not the shoe to buy it's definitely not a Comfortable shoe. The insole provided falls short of supporting your arch. I have replaced the insoles with arch support insoles but the standard size shoe is to narrower and it does not provide enough depth for the insole ending up with a tight fit, toes jammed and touching the top of the shoe. NB description of the shoe does not properly describe the shoe. This shoe is not even comfortable for indoor casual wear yet alone walking or working in any capacity. This shoe is also highly priced.

No heel cushioning at all. Very harsh to walk with. Customer service told me to buy better inserts. I did, for $15, and thee heel strike was still too hard. Maybe mine were just made wrong since so many people liked that model.

Too heavy, too stiff. I just walked around the house a couple of times, and I knew that I was sending them back. They were true to size, but I couldn't lift them.

These shoes were not comfortable - too hard and too stiff - would like to have the 928 with mesh again! Mesh in previous version were more comfortable - they moved and breathed.
