BEST WALKING shoe
Best walking shoe for foot comfort, as well as, balance.
At 82 years old, tried other brands and shoes, nothing compares to NB 928, highly recommended by my podiatrist.

Disappointed with Comfort and Hard Soles in the 92
I bought the New Balance 928v3 because I needed supportive walking shoes, but I’m disappointed. They feel uncomfortable from the start. The soles are very hard and stiff, which makes walking feel heavy instead of cushioned.
I expected better shock absorption and flexibility, especially for long hours on my feet. Instead, they feel rigid and unforgiving. They may offer stability, but comfort is missing for me.
If you are looking for a softer, more flexible shoe, this might not be the best option.

New Balance US response
Thank you for sharing your experience, and we’re sorry to hear the 928v3 hasn’t provided the comfort and cushioning you were expecting. We understand how disappointing it can be when a shoe feels stiff and heavy instead of flexible and supportive, especially for long hours on your feet. Our Customer Care team would be happy to help explore alternative options that offer softer shock absorption and a more comfortable walking feel.

I wanted a little more room not boats
I’m returning these because they are too big. But really the laces are ridiculous!! No matter how I tied them, double knotted, wrapped around my ankle they looked ridiculous. The laces were that long. I’ve worn New Balance for years and normally a fan.

Very Hard Stiff Feel
After reading good reviews I purchased them. Heavy clunky feel not comfortable cannot wear for a long time. Would not purchase again.

New Balance quality isn't what it used to be..
I ended up returning these shoes. I have been buying Qual New Balance Walking shoes for at least 15 years, but the quality of their shoes has gone way down. They have taken away any kind of cushioning in the shoe for your feet. They were like walking on wooden shoes. I'll never buy New Balance again.
