Customer Reviews New Balance 928v3

The shoe fit smaller than my usual NB 12 4E size..

I have been wearing NB shoes for over 20 years. My recent purchase may be my last. After two days of wearing, I literally cannot walk without severe pain in both feet. This was a shoe I had purchase several times in an older version and I can only deduce they made changes in the cushioning that drastically changes it. These soles feel like they are hard as rocks. I don't know why this latest version was changed, but it was a mistake. Sorry for being brutally honest but I am laid up hoping the pain disappears over the next few days.

Had to return - Tongue is too short - Had the same issue with the sneakers that i had returned

I purchased these "walking shoes" after buying New Balance's 608 sneakers for years. Little did I know that the heel of the "walking shoes" was inverse to the front of the shoe, just like the earth shoes of the '70's. This made my calf muscles stretch and hurt. Nowhere on New Balance's website was there an explanation or description of the shoe's design. The "walking shoe" may be fine for someone looking for the inverse configuration, but I returned them immediately and bought another pair of the 608's.

Too heavy and too stiff!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

power walking fits as it is supposed to ,good support ,extremely comfortable,no fatigue

The toe has changed. appears and feels that the shoe lasts has changed as well. Even less leather across instep. Seam across top of tongue catches the laces ensuring another morning aggravation. Textured leather simply appears cheap and doesn't take a shine. Much preferred the previous editions all of which are now worn out. Disappointed but will wear these and shop for another pair.

Almost a hundred and fifty dollars wasted on poorly made cheap shoes. My first pair of New Balance shoes, what a sucker I was for the hype.

The tongue is too short. Poor ankle support. Bleh.

Very disappointed with my new 928V3 in tan. Had purchased pair of 928V3 in grey suede in 2017. Tongue too short. Problem not corrected.

New Balance has gone off the rails, starting with the 928 every change has been bad. The 927 fit great, the 928 was too tight in width and length and the V2 was even worse. The v3 has a bigger towbox but the tongue is too short and the sole is too hard. I don't understand why NB can't just go back to the 927 and be done with it. Same goes for every Model they ruined at the same time. Just go back to where they were before.

I hate them. They squeak. Second pair of squeaking shoes. Returned the first pair Something is wrong with their manufacturing process and quality control. Don't buy them!

I have been buying V1 and V2 for years. They were great! I bought 4 pair of the version 3 when they came out and all had a Tongue that was too Short. I waited a year in hopes you would correct this or make a V4 that was made correct. I was wrong the V3 shoes I got a week or two ago the tongue ends up back in the shoe when I walk 10 minutes of walking. The only reason I have held on to them is the 4 pair of Version 2 that I have are worn out. Please correct this problem or make a Version 4 correctly. Please Email me with your solution.

I only wear New Balance shoes and have been a loyal customer for 20 years. Sadly, this latest pair of New Balance walking shoes, even though it is listed as 6X, is too narrow for my feet. They look narrower than my previous pair of New Balance shoes which were listed as this size and fit my feet perfectly. I'm wondering if New Balance's new 6X is closer to what their previous 2X or 4X used to be.

Let's be absolutely clear, which term I never use in legal writing, the 928v3 is an inferior shoe in comparison to its predecessor, the 928. Shorter laces, shorter tongue, less support, all differentiate the 928v3 from the 928. Poor reviews of version 2 appear unanimous, and v3 is a reboot of a product displacement. But not much could have been improved. Maybe the shade of black? Fortunately, I found a pair of original 928's from a New Balance store in North Jersey and received them on line in a few days. I should buy two pair, but will give NB a chance to make its next contract with the previous supplier and bring back the original 928. I'd advocate for the 927, but that's asking too much.

These are the worst shoes I ever bought. I expected this shoes to have the same comfort level as my 990, unfortunately not, they wer bulky and heavy and i will try to return

The last pair of New Balance shoes were the 928V3 series. I purchased extra wide, but the narrowness of this series caused corns on my right foot and blisters on my left. This time I am very unhappy.

Bought shoe in Feb and the upper has a hole in it where sole meets upper. Shoe was ordered large and wide so it was not too small. I have to think dryrot

New Balance has turned the best-performing line of heavy duty walking shoes into a work shoe. In the store, they felt great standing or walking across the room. Nice snug fit and great support. But very disappointing performance when I tried to walk a few laps on asphalt. The shoe is very stiff. It has very little bounce or forward roll. It feels like a dress shoe when it strikes the ground. Comparing with my old 925s, there's about 25% less padding on the 928. Notice that most of the most positive reviews here's are from folks who bought them for work. I regret this purchase.
