I keep buying them and they keep fitting. Good on you. I have the ones that are similar in brown and black. Can you make a tie dye pair? Or pink for breast cancer awareness?

Was hoping these would replace the 587 for me. I did not wear the 587 for running. I wore them because of the SL2 last. I wear EE need a roomy toebox and narrow ankle. I also wear custom orthotics. Due to limb length discrepancy, I have added height on one of the orthotics. I really wanted these to work. I like the brown leather and gray suede. Unfortunately, the EE was too wide, heel kept lifting, and the D was too narrow, too tight across the widest part of my foot. I went with the 877 instead.

I found this shoe is harder to break in than the 511 walking shoe that is no longer available. I miss the 511!

Great walking shoe but my first pair is only 6 months old and I have to replace them. Hope these last.

All my NB sneakers and hiking boots have been boxstore bought and size eight which fit perfect.
So I go to NB.com to get size 8 sneaker(no box store selection found) and guess what they feel larger than all my other NB products.
Trying to make them work since I have worn them thinking breaking in is answer to better fit.

Excellent support shoe. I wish the walking shoe had better grip for wet slippery surfaces. The grey color is a suede type material which is too easily scuffed up- Would like a harder surface I.e. leather like.

I walk 4 miles on a dirt road every day, at a fairly fast pace (for an old guy). I've been using the 928s for many years, and they do make the walk easier. I also do wear them all day, and I find them very comfortable. However, I have to say that the original 928s (not followed by a "v") seemed to last longer than the 928v3.

I have very wide feet and even with some of the 6E shoes I get blisters on my big toes from the toe boxes being too narrow. I don't have that problem with these and it's fantastic. The murdered out all black looks decent. I do a lot of yard work and walking around and these will definitely need some
Orthotics for comfort

It;s a good shoe but could be a bit more flexible.

My first pair lasted 5 years or over 4000 miles. The new shoes have a better designed ankle cushion, upgraded insole and dressier cut. The new shoes fit like a glove, but of course that's subjective. This model has never been cushy, so you will need to toughen up your legs before you do any speed walking. They are designed for ultra stability. For my size and age, that's what I want.

Have been wearing these for years
Would be great if NB would offer a "repair" service since the cushion & sole wear out long before the leather uppers

My doctor recommended this particular shoe for added support for my ankle. The shoes are very comfy and supportive, but the right one is a bit tight on the outside next to the sole.

I could not keep the mesh version of these shoes clean, so I'm returning to the leather version. My feet seem very hot in both versions, and the leather ones are somewhat tight in the width. I tried the next width up in the mesh version and they were too wide.

I WEAR THESE SHOES WHEN IT IS RAINING; AND, I MAY WANT TO GO TO A NICE RESTAURANT ! THEY DO PASS FOR A DRESS SHOE; AND, THEY ARE VERY COMPFORTABLE. I WENT TO YOUR STORE ON 5TH AVENUE IN MANHATTAN; AND, MY FOOT WAS MEASURED THERE. I USUALLY WEAR WIDTH 4EE; BUT, YOUR SALES ASSOCIATE RECOMMENDED 2EE. HE SAID THAT THIS PARTICULAR STYLE RUNS WIDE. I COULD NOT GET THEM AT THE STORE, SO I ORDERED THEM ONLINE. YOUR SALES ASSOCIATE WAS RIGHT. THEY FIT PERFECTLY 13- 2EE.

Walking the dog and day to day walking activities. Don't really like the mesh over the top of the toes. They tend to wear out.

The heel is more narrow then in the past. It makes for a better fit. The leather is study and the soles are thick. These are a great shoe for waking in and it looks like it will last a very long time.
They don't seem to breath as well as I'd like but they still are funtional.

I've been buying this shoe for years and find it excellent when worn with one of the NB orthotics (which does make it pricey). I like to use the "runner's loop" at the top for a snug fit and I agree with others who have remarked that the tongue us too short now. Even 1/4 inch longer would make it much easier to avoid the lace missing the tongue at the top and digging into your skin. In addition it seems my latest pair lasted a bit less than a year and started separating between the sole and the body of the shoe. Still will buy again!!

The shoes are "stability control' that helps with side motion. They are comfortable but are $25 overpriced.

All in all, the shoes feel great. The toe box could be a smidge taller, most noticeable with a thicker sock and a longer walk ... it's just a thing I look for in my old age

It's been difficult to find shoes wide enough to fit and supportive enough to wear all day. These shoes excel at both.
