Customer Reviews New Balance 928v3

The model is ok but could offer more support in the soles. I think I paid too much. Comfort isn't there.

o kay, so I bought this shoe in a wide forgetting that it was the SL2 last. I'm used to wearing wide shoes so that was not the problem. The SL2 last however makes my heel slip and I'm developing calluses and a sore on the inside part of my heel. Probably should have sent the shoes back from the beginning. But I bought them and actually didn't wear them for two to three months 0. Anyway, learn from my mistake the SL2 last probably would have been just enough I really didn't need the extra width

Bought for my husband having foot issues. He walks over 6000 steps a day. Needs more cushion. Has extra wide feet. Shoes rub across his toes if he tries to put an orthotic inside. Thinking of returning. Also, these were pretty pricey. Wish they felt better

The shoe was recommended on a site rating shoes for diabetics. I have worn New Balance in the past so I thought I'd give it a try. The shoe was not at all comfortable, especially considering the price range.

This shoe is the only shoe I can wear due to having Charcot-Marrie-Tooth. The 928 was better than the 928v2 and 928v3. The tongue is to short and rubs my skin raw when using the top eyelits. The support is great with the roll bar. comfort is good besides my skin being ruled raw by the laces due to the tongue being to short. The best shoe I ever wore was the 1153 and would love for New Balance to remake that shoe.

when first wore them they fit great -I have 4E fit. After the first day they stretched resulting in the instep moving forward causing foot pain. Order 1/2 size smaller if you have wide feet.

I like the shoe, but if does not give me the right support that I need. It is a little better when I added arch supports that I had purchased prior to ordering these shoes. The shoe is very stable with the supports.

I have been a loyal NB customer for +25 years. This was my first purchase in about four years and there has been a noticeable decline in shoe quality. The show tongue is shorter and makes shoes not fit as well. Also lower quality overall. I plan to search other brands on my next purchase.

Version3 is not as soft-stepping in the heel as Version 1 (plain 928). This is especially bad with orthotic inserts. Yes, the tongue is a bit too short now too.

The v3 is smaller than previous models - I've had all three now. The v1 had a nice smooth liner in the entire shoe. The v3 has gaps in the area over the big toe first knuckle resulti9ng in pressure that rubs the top of the foot - very uncomfortable. They made it cheaper/lower quality - much prefer v1 shoe, it was great.

Shipping was quick. Decent price. The tongue is too short. They are not an instant comfort when putting them on, but the again, I just got them, so I have not worn them for any length of time yet.

I have worn the 928 for as long as it has been made. The 928 was, for all intense and purposes, the most perfect walking shoe that I have ever worn. When the version 2 came out I jumped right to it. That shoe was a poor design with a smaller toe box, a short tounge and a lower instep. They went back to New Balance. Now the version 3 has a bigger toe box, but the tounge is so small that you can't use the last two eyelets as they were intended because the lace rubs the side of your foot and the area that is tied ends up off the tounge and on your skin. Why change a shoe when the shoe is as perfect for the intended use as can be, I will never know. You now have a second rate shoe. Nice going.

The biggest positive I can state for this shoe is that it is leagues better than the v2 released some time ago. This 6E width fit like it should and did not feel incredibly narrow like the v2. Also, quality wise, it seems to be starting off better, since the small strap on the shoe tongue did not snap at the first lace tightening as it did on the v2. The only negative in the short time I've worn them is mid-foot. I don't know if it's the rollbar or the shoe design, but there is a definite lump in the middle/outer edge of the shoe pressing into both feet. I'm going to try an insole with a harder base or more padding to compensate, but it's quite aggravating. I would have understood something under the arch of the foot, but on the outside edge, it just feels like a rock in both shoes. I would have given the shoe a two-star for comfort overall, but just going back to a true 6E was a huge step forward for the model.

RECEIVED SHOES 3 DAYS BACK. GLUE IS ALL OVER SOUL ON SIDES. TONGUE'S ARE TO SHORT. QUALITY IS VERY POOR FOR THE PRICE WE PAY. HAVE OWNED AT LEAST 20 PAIRS OVER THE YEARS, AND QUALITY IS SINKING.
