Our Verdict
The New Balance 928v3 is one of the few walking shoes built specifically for people who need extra support and stability. The wide-width options and motion control make it a go-to recommendation from podiatrists for people with flat feet, overpronation, or plantar fasciitis.
What We Like
- Available in wide and extra-wide
- Motion control for overpronation
- Rollbar stability technology
- ABZORB cushioning in heel
- Podiatrist recommended
Watch Out For
- Heavier than minimalist walking shoes
- Limited color options
Motion Control vs. Stability
Motion control shoes are the most supportive category — they're designed for people who overpronate significantly (foot rolls inward). The 928v3's Rollbar technology limits this motion, reducing stress on the ankles, knees, and hips. If you're not sure if you overpronate, a running store can do a free gait analysis.
Wide Width Options
The 928v3 comes in standard (D/B), wide (2E/D), and extra wide (4E/2E) for men and women respectively. Many people with foot pain are actually wearing shoes that are too narrow — a wider shoe can resolve discomfort without any other intervention.
Break-In Period
Motion control shoes are stiffer than regular walking shoes and may feel firm at first. Wear them for short periods initially — 30 minutes to an hour — and gradually increase. Most people find them very comfortable after a week of regular wear.
