The size around the fingers is reduced in this model.

I've been buying the 928 in black and white for many (10+) years now. The white ones that I just bought and had to return with great regret have gotten a little smaller. At the extra-wide size 12, the circumference of the shoe just below the laces is now at least 0.5 inches smaller than black 928 V3s of the same size and width purchased earlier this year. This is enough to cause severe chafing of the joints of the big toes of both feet. It's so sad I really don't know what to do. There is no…

Pros
  • Great fit, wears well, used every day for a walk! Would love to get it in other colors!!
Cons
  • I have two pairs. One pair came loose at the front seam of both tops and the other is still fine after 1 year.

The size is correct

Bought to run. A bit bulky but great for support. Most importantly, it's listed as a size 10, and guess what, it really is! Fits like a glove.

Pros
  • My third pair. I've tried other shoes but these are always durable and last a while. My first pair was 6 years ago
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with diabetes

Narrow and flat in my opinion

A size 8.5 usually fits me in most shoes, but this shoe turned out to be too tight. The outsole felt pretty flat too - after it hit the heel, the rest of the shoe seemed to smack to the ground.

Pros
  • Great matching shoes. I will definitely buy these again
Cons
  • One shoe was smaller than the other. Never been like this

Size fits great, comfortable right out of the box

I love doing sports every day. Unfortunately, it's difficult to find men's shoes that come in half sizes after a size 12. Size 12 is too small for me and size 13 is too messy. This shoe fits perfectly and makes walking fun again.

Pros
  • I'm 230 pounds and so far they have provided great support.
Cons
  • May not be suitable for people with flat feet

Good support without much weight

This is my third pair of New Balance V3s. They have both a roomy toe box (if that's the right term!) and room for doctor-prescribed orthotics. And the price is reasonable considering how long mine lasted.

Pros
  • Shoes with good grip
Cons
  • The show has a stain on the inside top that caused a large blister. Looks like a sewing error.

The best men's shoes for every day.

I already have several pairs of these shoes. They are well made, the sole is unlikely to ever wear out and they are easy to clean. Very stable to support my weight (280 lbs). I use an aftermarket insole which also helps. Mine usually last a year with daily use!

Pros
  • Comfortable shoes that I have worn for several years.
Cons
  • Can chafe the ankle and cause discomfort

Ugly but good support and comfort

Those are clunky, ugly shoes. But it has good support and comfort. They look dated, are a bit heavy and a bit stiff. But I needed good ankle support and they provided it for me. These are good shoes for everyday walking; Leather upper and rubber sole. Well done. I use New Balance 990v5 running shoes and 806 NB tennis shoes for everyday walking and they are both very good. These 928s have even more support. They are good for nothing but walking. I use my own orthotics in them, although these…

Pros
  • I stand for a long time during work and these shoes are great for me. Very convenient.
Cons
  • May not provide enough cushioning for high-impact activities

Comfortable but squeaky

I was hoping the squeaking would stop, but after a few months it's still audible, even after using leather conditioner. In addition, they are very comfortable and look beautiful.

Pros
  • I'm on my feet all shift and it's perfect!!
Cons
  • Can cause numbness or tingling in the legs due to poor circulation

great hard shoes: my review

My podiatrist recommended "hard-soled" shoes. it meets the requirements. solid construction and very comfortable walking show. fits my individual orthosis.

Pros
  • It took me almost a year to find a pair of these shoes in my size.
Cons
  • Limited sizes available

Revainrating 2 out of 5

not comfortable good for me

I bought this pair of shoes after looking at Revain's high rating but was very disappointed after trying them on. The shoes are uncomfortable, inflexible and not light. I felt tired in my legs after wearing them all day. In the end I returned.

Pros
  • High support shoes must be worn to avoid heel spurs. They meet all the requirements and do not look orthopedic.
Cons
  • Too heavy and warm.

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good quality. Comfortable. The top should be more flexible.

Overall I love this shoe. I ordered Wide (because I have a wide foot), they sent 2E correctly but it seemed like 1E was perfect. Unfortunately there isn't one, so it's a bit wider than it needs to be. The shoes are also a bit stiffer than I like. I want shoe makers to make brown shoes that look like canvas. Or maybe the skin is very elastic. Oh.

Pros
  • Work shoes - very durable
Cons
  • Can lead to sweaty feet due to lack of breathability

Simply the best! good for me

I have a hard time finding shoes with good arch support and a large size. I need 9 E or EE. I often have to buy longer shoes to get the width I need and I've never liked them. NEW BALANCE to the rescue! I was looking for leather shoes that go well with jeans or khakis. You are perfect. They have a wide range of sizes and I was able to find the perfect fit for a very comfortable beautiful brown leather shoe! I have used New Balance for hiking and running shoes for decades, but now I ONLY use NEW

Pros
  • Very comfortable walking shoes, right?
Cons
  • Not enough Arch support for some users

Used shoes? - my new rating

The shoes arrived in a brown box, not a new balance box. When you buy new shoes they usually come with paper inside the shoes to keep them in the shape they weren't. The laces were already sticking out in the last loop of the boot, as if someone had literally put the shoes on and then threaded them through the box.

Pros
  • comfortable, light, very comfortable
Cons
  • Takes a long time to dry after getting wet

Comfort, stability and durability

Very happy with this product and also have several pairs in different colors. Great hiking shoe with great support and very comfortable. Also good for long walks and very comfortable to wear.

Pros
  • Top quality, great support, traction to the front.
Cons
  • May cause blisters and irritation

Hard sole suits me

Hiking shoes should give me the feeling of walking on clouds. These shoes have a hard sole that gives the impression that you are walking in dress shoes, although the insole is still padded. Otherwise the shoes are good. If you have foot/joint problems these may be suitable for you.

Pros
  • Very great shoes!
Cons
  • Terribly uncomfortable. Worst shoes I've bought in years.

Don't waste time shopping at reva!

We bought these for my husband and received a defective pair. There is a bulge on the sole, which is totally uncomfortable and painful for my husband. He has several of these pairs and has never had a problem. Revain won't do anything about it.

Pros
  • Great product and it arrived on time
Cons
  • Some users report that they creak when they walk.

Great shoes for AFO, good for me

At one point I broke down and started wearing an afro to protect my foot. Extremely comfortable with a nice wide toe box. The shoes are deep enough that my heel does not slip out of the shoe when wearing the orthosis. So far very satisfied.

Pros
  • Best shoes ever
Cons
  • May cause foot odor

It's great to have a wider toe box again

I've been buying New Balance shoes since 1977 when I lived in Boston (their headquarters). They offer excellent support and a narrow width. A few years ago when my pair of their 928 boots wore out, I bought a new pair only to find that they cramped my toes to the point of developing bursitis. I later discovered that they were 928 V(ersion) 2s that had been redesigned with a narrow front end. Luckily they now have the 928 V3 with a wider front and they have the support and comfort I've…

Pros
  • Imported
Cons
  • Some bugs
