Hook and Loop Leather 928v3

I wear WalkOn ankle-foot orthotics by Ottobock. The 928v3 series with its large toe box provides me room for the AFO, plus custom insoles. Granted, the lace versions of the 928v3 provide exceptional support and fit. The hook and loop version have become a dependable replacement for slippers. I can wear my AFOs for nighttime bathroom visits in the hook and loop shoes and still have the support I need. Safety first!

This has been my everyday shoe for more than ten years. As an older person with big feet, bunions, hammer toes, osteoarthritis, bad back and a problematic hip replacement it is hard to find an affordable and comfortable shoe that is easy to care for and get on and off. However, I have issues with durability. As said I've been using these for sometime. My original purchases lasted much longer and I was more active. Now I do very little walking. My recent purchases have not lasted like they used to. I even thought of returning the last pair when after six months I had to have the soles reglued. I continue to have various repairs needed. In the past I might have as many as three serviceable pairs at once. The difference between them was cosmetic: good, better, best. Now the seams and soles start to come apart much sooner to the degree they have to be trashed, not even good for garden work. Add to this the increased cost, I'm thinking about alternatives

Size 15 D: It is still wider on my foot than I would like, but with thick socks it's OK. It is difficult to find shoes in B or C widths. I have become a fan of velcro closures. I had a previous pair of MW928v3 and wore them for yard work. They were easily removed when coming into the house. This material is easy to clean. Would like to see this shoe with a 6" - 8" ankle cover for outside work, also in a brown or burgundy color.

Love the feel of the shoes. Also, the construction is great! Other velcro shoes I've tried have had issues where the loops for the straps are separate from the shoe. This leads to them getting twisted and making it hard to tighten the shoes properly. I've also had pairs where the straps are way too short for a wide foot that fits in the shoe. This one is great!

I started to wear these when I developed plantar plantar fasciitis. The shoes are super comfortable and have all of the support I need. I have been buying these for quite a few years now and have found nothing better.

I'm 70 year old man with one hip replacement and one knee replacement. I need good supportive shoes. These ones fit the bill.

Had a spiral fracture on my femur near my hip requiring much surgery with supporting rod and clamps etc. in hip area. Told by surgeon no weight on broken leg for 2 months ! After not using leg for 2 months I needed PT three days a week for another 4 months to be able to walk a bit using walker on injured leg. Much pain putting on sneakers with laces so decide to try straps on sneakers. My leg lost an inch in surgery so now I can place inserts in this shoe to balance me. So far sneakers support me well and are easy to put on with little effort or pain. Had New Balance in past so figured these would work well for my current problem. Very few sneaker companies offer such good well supported walking shoes with straps in extra width than New Balance. Glad NB offer this model for people like me.

The fit was fine. The problem was the heel felt low. Like I was leaning back. They actually hurt my knees. I'm a fit 80 yr old and walk every morning. No way would I wear shoes that hurt my knees. I was very surprised by this.

My husband has a high instep and it was difficult for him to put the shoes on. He is older with swollen feet and I thought the Velcro would be better than laces but not so.

Comfy and Roomy: These sneakers are comfortable and comfy. The straps are user friendly and practical.
