There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
About two months ago I decided to try the 928, which are walking shoes, and I'm glad I did. They look nice and the support is great. I don't have to wear an orthotic with them.
Some of the reviewers here mentioned getting sore spots on their feet trying to wear the 928. Keep in mind these have leather uppers, and though they are comfortable right out of the box for many, they don't for all and they may require a breakin period. Mine are definitely more comfortable now than when they were brand new. Also, if you are new to New Balance, you may need to wear a different size than the one you are used to wearing in other shoes. For example, I wear a 7.5 2E in dress shoes, but my size in New Balance is 8 2E. You may also have received a mislabelled pair that is actually smaller or larger than the size marked...it happens sometimes. My advice is return them and try another pair of the same size or slightly longer (or wider as the case may be).
Another tip: the New Balance website has a helpful sizing tool to plug in the brand and size/width you normally wear and it suggests the appropriate New Balance size for any specific New Balance model you are considering. Even if you are used to wearing a particular New Balance model, the correct size/width may be slightly different for a different New Balance shoe. The sizing tool allows you to enter the New Balance model you wear already and see what size you might wear in a different New Balance model.
Lastly, a lot of reviewers complain about the cost of New Balance shoes. You get what you pay for with New Balance. Once you're properly fitted, you won't want to wear another brand.
5/12/2014 Updated Comments:
As mentioned earlier, this is my first pair of 928s. I did find the break-in period to be significant, as these shoes are pretty stiff when new. I'm used to wearing the 990 series where the break-in period is much, much shorter. But since the 990s are technically running shoes and the 928 is a walking shoe, it's a bit like comparing apples and oranges! But do expect break-in.
I see more recent comments complaining about the price. Two of my thoughts on this: (1) New Balance shoes will ALWAYS be higher than inferior knock-offs from Walmart and Costco. Many people who wear New Balance have foot size, width or physical conditions that make wearing other shoes frustrating and/or painful. New Balance is designed to address these issues, and guess what - that makes them more costly to make. (2) Constantly complaining about price just encourages New Balance to try to keep the price relatively constant and lower their quality and manufacturing costs. I would prefer they raise the price to reflect the increased costs of manufacturing and maintain high quality standards. Don't complain about cost when you're getting your money's worth. I don't know about you, but my feet deserve it!
UPDATE: Wore both these shoes on a recent trip to Finland and Russia. Every day was spent visiting villages, churches, monastaries, Kremlins (yes, there's more than one), many on rough paths and cobblestone streets. Both my brown leather and my grey suede NB MW928s were VERY comfortable, and stylish enough for me to wear to the "captain's dinner" on our river cruise. This was the perfect choice for me, and I'm pleased that while they're "walking" shoes, they're stylish enough to wear almost anywhere. By the way, the "MW" in front of New Balance's style number means "Mens, Walking." The "Walking" part means this shoe has more comforting soles than their running or cross training shoes, whose soles are much more dense, and therefore, harder.
Pros: Excellent support across the entire foot, including the arch. Very comfortable to work in all day long. They feel wonderful when they are new. The shoe comes in black, brown and white. I prefer the color black for my work around printing presses. The materials are easy to wipe off, and she shoe stays looking nice. Good, sturdy shoe laces.
Cons: The shoes require a custom fit insert, because the inserts that come with the shoe are not supportive. I believe they are designed this way to require customers to buy custom inserts (but they are worth it.) If they are worn daily at a job where you are required to stand all day, the life of the shoe is at most a year. I use two pair and alternate every other day. Also, I use shoe stretchers, when I take them off. I replace the shoes after they are a year old, and they are definitely ready to be replaced. They are expensive, but I'm willing to pay the price to not suffer from Plantar Faciatis and for my feet to feel super-comfortable.

These shoes are the most comfortable I have worn. I feel like they have been personalised to my own feet. I can wear these for a full day and my feet do not feel tired at all.
They provide the ideal support and stability for long walks.
I would also recommend that you download the foot sizing chart from Wide Shoes Fit UK store from whom these shoes were delivered. I have been wearing the wrong sized shoes for many years!
