What reviewers say

New Balance 928v3 Men's Walking Shoe

  • 4.7 / 598 ratings

Owners rate the 928v3 highly, praising its stability, cushioning and how long it lasts. Most criticism centers on weight and stiffness, and a few find the fit runs narrow or needs breaking in.

What people mention
  • StabilityPraisedOwners say the ROLLBAR and firm heel keep the foot from rolling inward, which helps flat feet and overpronation.
  • ComfortPraisedReviewers call it comfortable for long days on their feet, with cushioning that holds up.
  • WeightCriticisedSome buyers find the shoe heavy and clunky compared with lighter walking shoes.
  • Break-inMixedSeveral say it feels stiff at first and takes a week or two to soften up.

Brooks Glycerin StealthFit 22

Reviewers generally praise the Glycerin StealthFit 22 for its plush cushioning and comfortable, sock-like upper. Some runners find the fit too snug and the shoe a bit heavy for speedwork, but most agree it excels on easy days and long runs.

What people mention
  • CushioningPraisedRunners love the plush, soft ride that protects the legs on long runs.
  • FitMixedThe StealthFit upper provides a snug, secure hold, but some find it too tight, especially in the toe box.
  • WeightCriticisedAt 8.4 oz, it feels heavier than many neutral trainers, which some runners notice on longer or faster efforts.
  • UpperPraisedThe flat knit upper is breathable and adapts to the foot, though a few wish it had more stretch.

Questions and answers

Which is better for overpronation?
The New Balance 928v3. Its ROLLBAR posting and firm heel counter limit rearfoot roll, while the Glycerin is a neutral shoe with no stability posting.
Which lasts longer for daily walking?
The 928v3. Full-grain leather and Ndurance heel rubber hold up better to miles of pavement walking than the Glycerin's knit upper and running outsole.
Is the Glycerin worth stepping up to for running?
Yes, if you run. The Glycerin is lighter, softer and built for road running; the 928v3 is a walking shoe and feels heavy and stiff at pace.
Can I use the Glycerin for all-day standing?
It works for short stretches, but its plush foam compresses under long standing shifts. The 928v3 gives more support for hours on your feet.
Do both fit orthotics?
The 928v3 has a removable insole and a roomier walking fit, so custom orthotics drop in easily. The Glycerin's knit upper fits closer and leaves less room.
