I like these shoes a lot. They are comfortable and support my feet very well. They also allow me to use my foot/ankle brace. I just wish the strap that secures the mid-part of the foot was longer since my brace takes more room inside the shoe. If they would make the strap longer, it would be easier to tie and fit much better. Read more

Pro: excellent support, very comfortable Read more

I've been told I have plantar fasciitis with high arches and a heal spur. In the evenings the pain was bad but when I wake up in the morning it is much worse. I'm a barefoot/slipper/sandal kind of person but was recently told by my doctor that that is probably the cause of all my foot problems. Sheesh. I'm old enough where this is actually a difficult lifestyle change! I checked out a number of review sites and was led to these New Balance 928s. I decided to get the Velcro style even though I saw some reviews that said they do not provide as much support as the laced up version. Sizing was perfect. I've been measured at 13D in a number of stores but rarely do 13D shoes actually fit for some reason. In this case I went with the 13Ds and they are fitting perfectly. The Velcro closures work perfectly. They hold the shoe as firmly as any laces could do so I'm not sorry I went this way. The shoes feel comfortable both sitting around and on some lazy walks on dirt roads (about 8 or 9 miles now). I basically wear them from the time I get up to the time I settle down for the evening. I have noticed that at the end of the day I am not suffering the normal foot pain associated with plantar fasciitis and a heel spur and even more important I seem to have less pain in the morning when I first get up - usually the worse time of the day for me. So, I have not done anything different other than get into the habit of wearing these walking shoes often and trying to avoid running around barefoot. No drugs and no physical therapy (though that's coming next). I have to attribute the relief to these shoes. Not cured but definitely more manageable. When I wear these out I'll get another pair just the same. Now I wish I could find a pair of light sandals and/or slippers that provided support like these shoes. Read more
