New Balance Men's 928 V3 Lace-Up Walking Shoe

I grabbed the New Balance Men's 928 V3 Lace-Up Walking Shoes because my previous pair fell apart after too many airport treks and Florida heat hikes—living here and traveling constantly for work meant I needed solid support for swollen feet after flights. Expectations were straightforward: good cushioning and stability without breaking the bank, hopefully lasting longer than six months. Over the past week, I've logged miles in them—pounding pavement for 5 miles daily around my neighborhood in humid 80-degree weather, plus standing through 8-hour travel days with layovers. The ABZORB cushioning absorbs impacts nicely on concrete, and the Rollbar system keeps my rearfoot steady, reducing that usual post-flight ache. Leather upper breathes okay but gets warm in direct sun; laces secure well, no slippage. Odor-resistant lining helps after sweaty sessions—no funk yet. At their price, they're worth it for the build quality and features like the removable footbed for custom insoles. They outlast cheaper walkers I've owned, though not indestructible for heavy use. Drawback: sole feels a tad stiff at first, forcing a slight gait adjustment before breaking in. Overall, they exceeded on support and comfort for my routine, beating expectations for travel durability. The stability shines for uneven airport floors, but wish the toe box wasn't quite so roomy. Pros: Excellent ABZORB cushioning for all-day walking. Rollbar stability prevents overpronation on long hauls. Durable leather holds up through washes and wear. Removable footbed fits orthotics easily. Cons: Stiff sole needs break-in time. Wide toe box loose for narrow feet. Runs warm in hot climates initially.

I bought these shoes because the upper is all leather, I am starting a walking program and needed a good walking shoe, they fit my feet perfectly, they are comfortable, and they feel extremely stable with their rollbar system. They are expensive but I feel the value for the money spent makes them worth the investment. One thing I noticed is that they are a lot more comfortable when not laced all the way up through the top hole of the shoe. I laced up to the next to the top hole giving my foot more room to flex inside the shoe. When I laced all the way up through the top hole, the tongue of the shoe would dig into the top of my foot since the lacing would press the tongue of the shoe into the top of my foot.

Before we retired, I developed a nice little case of Plantar Fasciitis. While seeing a podiatrist about it, he recommended I stop wearing the crappy walking shoes I had and get some that would help with my arch support and pronation of the heals. Either that or give him a few hundred bucks for some custom orthotics. He said I should look into the higher-end series of shoes (like 900 or above) from New Balance. I went to a New Balance store, found the 928 Walking Shoes and have been wearing one version or another of them for 10 years now. I like the way they look, they are comfortable and my Plantar Fasciitis, after some physical therapy, has not returned. Plus, while not all New Balance shoes are made in the US, these models are. Since my feet haven't changed size, I find myself getting them through Amazon as the nearest New Balance store is now over an hour from where I live and the local chain stores sell only the lower end (400, 500 & 600) series of New Balance shoes. I recommend them and if you have a podiatrist, they probably do as well.

These are very good walking shoes. They fit as expected, and they support my feet well. The technology allows my foot to roll from heel to toe as I walk, which makes it comfortable to walk greater distances. My only issue with the shoe is its appearance. I bought the black model, which is entirely black. My wife says it looks like I am wearing work boots. These really don't look very much like athletic shoes, but they perform admirably, and overall, I'm happy with them.

I bought this shoe because i was having calluses forming on the sides of my feet from my last set of shoes, i have had nothing but comfort working 12+ hour standing shifts in these shoes. They were a great price for the quality of the product, practically slip right on, and work good on the run or at work. I've even had several coworkers comment how good they look in a nice leather brown.

The package arrived torn, so I was a little worried at first. Thankfully, the shoes were in excellent condition and looked brand new. One thing I noticed was that each shoe had an extra insole on top of the original one. It wasn’t until I removed the extra insole that I could see the New Balance branding on the original insole. There were also a few tiny white fibers or marks inside the shoes that looked like they came from the manufacturing or cutting process. It wasn’t a big deal, so I didn’t consider it a problem. I bought these shoes for my father, and he absolutely loves them. He says they’re very comfortable and provide great support. I would definitely recommend these shoes, especially for older adults looking for a comfortable everyday shoe.

Fantastic shoes very comfortable especially with A.F.Os I highly reccomend these shoes. I have C.M.T. and they work great for me.

Used to be a good shoe, it's wide, but arch location has changed and so has width. It's not a 6e, more like a 5e. My arches end up sitting on the top side edges of the padding, not flat on the sole.

Good shoe

Muy buen calzado,recomendado

Great for planter fascitious sufferers

Well worth the extra cost.These allow comfortable walks without knee and hip pain and I feel more stable balance wise.

Schnelle Lieferung, gute Ware und klasser Service. Schuhe sind im schönen schwarzen Leder und sehen an sich super aus, leider etwas klopig aber mit dem richtigen outfit kein Problem
