20 Best Shoes For Overweight Men (2023 Updated)

These skechers are very worth purchasing very good shoes they are very comfortable and i no doubt would hesitate to purchase them again. Your missing out if you don’t get your self a pair or for some one that you know that could use a very comfortable pair of very good shoes.

I have been wearing 928 V3s now for a few years when not at work. I find the shoes fit well, are comfortable, functional and reasonably attractive in any setting. They feel great no matter what I am doing.

(Walking around town, working on my boat or car, going for nature hike, or just hanging out at home. ) I like the padding because it makes it easy to stand for long periods of time. (I have a standing desk at home, and there are times when I am standing at the desk for 8-12 hours a day, which is less appealing in a less comfortable pair of shoes.

) I don’t really use them anymore for anything “athletic,” but I used to wear them at the gym. All the 928s that I have bought over the years last a long time, even if they begin to look a little ratty.

(When they start getting really dirty, I use them for dirtier activities. ) I keep an extra pair in my car so that if I want to change out of more “formal” shoes after work, I can do that easily. The soles also have the right balance between soft and durable.

I started buying 928s after the New Balance/Sperry boat shoe was discontinued. (To this day, I think the New Balance/Sperry model boat shoe is my favorite, though the soles wore down quickly because the rubber was so soft.

) Because of what I presume were supply chain problems couldn’t find 928s in the blueish/gray color in my size for 2 months. I checked the New Balance website daily, sometimes twice a day. When they were finally available in my size and color, I pounced.

(I was going to buy 2 pairs anyway, but as I was making the purchase the website said there were only two pairs left, so I didn’t buy some other items I was thinking of buying out of fear that someone else might beat me to the last two pair in my size.

).

Previous to these shoes, I have been wearing the MW813 walking shoe for several years and was disappointed by the poor life and performance of PU-Leather (plastic leather substitute) used for the entire upper of the 813.

I was pleased to find that the MW928 v3 had leather uppers and foot bed style of the well fitting 813 while improving comfort and durability. The 928 v3 is a comfortable shoe and supports well while walking on streets and other paved surfaces.

It felt “broken in” from first use. Seems true to size. Due to the flat sole design I would not recommend it for trail use. It is a nicely styled lace-up, and will work with “business casual” in most cases as an all-day shoe.

Since the uppers are leather they can be kept smart-looking with a little shoe polish, something that doesn’t work with PU-Leather shoes. Soles have reasonable wet grip on moderately smooth surfaces.

Not sure of sole wear since they are new to me. One issue I had with them were the extra long shoe laces they came with. Although many modern synthetic laces stretch with time, these were so long I had to cut 10″ off them to keep the ends from dragging on the ground and tripping myself be stepping on them after my first walk.

It appears that a 44″ lace would be much better. Cost is considerably higher than the MW813, but if they wear better, the higher price will be worth it.

I am an old guy and I wanted a pair of good quality, solid footware that would give me good support and slip resistance for simply walking and doing light chores. I had a pair of shoes that met most of these goals but I was getting sick and tired of having to constantly worry about loose shoe laces not only because of the inconvenience they presented but, more importantly, because of the tripping threat.

When you are my age you don’t want to add to your chances of falling. I found what I was looking for on line. I had already looked for similar shoes in several stores but couldn’t find them. These New Balance shoes fit great and had everything I was looking for.

And, I especially liked the set up with the Velcro straps that can be trimmed to avoid catching on things. I put a little polish on them and they buffed up nice. They may not be the flashiest shoes I ever owned but they are solid footware for guys like me.

Thanks New Balance!.

Excellent trainers, looked better when I received them than in the photos! Great quality and price, can’t ask for more. From my experience I would recommend.

Obviously it is difficult to “unsubscribe” when wearing them.I’ll try again when not wearing them. The value for money rating is at the discounted value.

I needed a pair of running shoes that supported my arches, where I chose these because of the arch support feature. I can definitely recommend

Im 46 yo and terribly out of shape. I used to run cross country in high school. I was the middle of the pack kind of runner. I never won a medals or a trophys. That was a long time ago…but I always ran in Sauconys.

Here I am 30 lbs heavier and Ive been reinspired to get back into shape again , one step at a time. When you have been away from running for a long time, it is a little painful to get back into it. However, this shoe has made it easier for me to do so.

It’s lightweight constructions and breathing able fabric keep my feet from heating up. The cushioning is fantastic as I feel like I’m running on a bouncy track. I like them so much that I use them at work.

I”m a healthcare worker and spend 12 hours on my feet per shift. If you’re a regular joe who is trying to get back into running after a long hiatus, this is the shoe for you. Great job Saucony.

The shoe is attractive and seems to be well made. So far, after about 3 weeks it seems to be wearing well and is comfortable. However the marked sizes are not reliable. I initially got a size 16 x -wide (4E) and that is how it was marked.

The length was ok but I thought a bit wider would be better so I ordered a second shoe in 16 xx-wide (6E) and that was how it was marked. However it is exactly (to within 1 mm) the same width as the 4E, so I didn’t gain any width in going from 4E to 6E.

I am going to keep them both as the fit is close enough and size 16 in anything is almost impossible to find. However if sizing is crucial you should try it on in the store or if ordering online as I did be prepared to return it maybe multiple times.

When 928v3 was unavailable, I wore my old 2 pairs of brown leather 928’s until the leather tore away from the soles and I was forced to go into Brooks size 12 4-E’s as the only alternative for my high-arch/high-instep, very wide feet, requiring medical orthotics.

Years passed and I had to give up hiking. Then, wonder of wonders, New Balance sent me an email and the 928v3 was again available! I ordered 2 pair of size 11 6-E in brown leather. True to size, the 928v3’s fit my orthotics perfectly with plenty of room for conventional lacing.

I’m back to being a happy hiker, and with the good looks of brown leather, these shoes clean easily and polish up for every occasion.

These New Balance 928V3 are very comfortable athletic shoes. I am a bartender and on my feet for 8 to 10 hours each shift. This is my first time purchasing New Balance walking shoes and I am a Happy Camper.

Some of my co-workers have ordered the same model after I told them about the New Balance walking shoes. New Balance has a large selection of sizes and colors for their athletic shoes. I wear a size 15 wide, which New Balance carries and most of the other shoes companies don’t have.

The triple black model is perfect for work, Thank You NB.

I bought a pair of these from Amazon a while back. I own some Sketchers stock because it seems like a good value to me, but it’s a plus if I also like the product so I wanted to try them out. They fit well and I like them overall, and they are cheaper than Rockports which I used to buy which do not seem to me to be superior.

Then the other day I saw a podiatrist about my feet. She checked them out and didn’t feel I needed custom inserts but recommended Walk-Hero inserts for my shoes. I brought in the Sketchers as well as a pair of Hokas which some friends recommended for foot problems.

The podiatrist said both shoes were fine for me. She indicated I would need to rip out the existing foam inserts in the Sketchers so I could put the Walk-Hero inserts in. They came out quite easily. I also have a pair of laceless Sketchers After Burns that I think are basically identical to the lace up ones.

Those were harder to yank the inserts out of- some of the foam stuck to the shoe and I had to kind of scrape it off with a knife. They should work OK, I haven’t tried them with the Walk-Heros yet since I’m waiting on a couple more pairs of inserts.

I am sold enough on these Sketchers I plan to buy another pair, but they appear to be out of stock both at Walmart and Amazon. (some sizes do seem to be available but not mine) It’s the Covid supply chain crisis I guess.

Once they are available I’ll probably buy a pair from Walmart. I prefer to buy from Walmart instead of Amazon when I can get the same thing at close to the same price. The Walk-Hero inserts I got at Amazon because Walmart does carry them but the price is quite a bit more.

Comfortable, but outside-heel strikers be warned. I’m somewhere between 195 to 205 for weight. After only walking in these shoes for exactly 4 miles a day at a rate of 4 miles per hour, 3 times per week for a total of 28 miles (8 days of walking), the outside corners of the soles at the heel were already worn away to the point where there was almost no tread remaining.

Within another two weeks of fast-paced walking, the soles at the heels of these shoes will be destroyed. I’m guessing that these are not meant for outside/pavement use/abuse. The last pair I had (same brand and style), it took me roughly 3 months to get to that point.

Based on my limited experience, I would suggest these shoes for low impact workouts indoors or for just casually walking around in all day. They are attractive and very comfortable, but they are just not holding up to the abuse from my walking routine.

As one would guess, I am currently in the market for some walking shoes with a more durable sole at the heel.

I bought the first pair of these sneakers for my husband several years ago and he loved them. so much so that I buy him a new pair every year. The support and comfort they provide has seen him through double shifts when he was continually on his feet.

Finding comfortable sneakers that he likes had always been a nearly impossible task since he has back and foot issues. That is no longer a problem. I get these in his normal size 10. 5 wide and he’s happy.

Give him anything other than the After Burn and it just doesn’t meet with his approval. He’s still got every pair I’ve given him and he still wears them all. The oldest pair has become his working around the house pair and the others are worn depending on color.

He says they’re all as comfortable today as they were the day he first got them Definitely pleased with my purchase.

I have been purchasing the 877v1 for several years. The first pair provided a good fit and wonderful support as did my second pair. I could take them out of the box and immediately wear them all day long.

This third pair is different. The shoe is stiff and does not seem to offer the support and comfortable fit as the previous two. I am only able to wear them for a couple of hours a day before I began having pain in my feet, ankles and back.

So the jury is still out on the 877v1. I have two other styles of New Balance and have no trouble with discomfort from wearing all day so it makes me think that the 877v1 has possibly undergone some changes, especially since it is very hard to find now on line, and that is what possible accounts for the less than great fit I have always felt with New Balance shoes.

Finally, I found a style of New Balance walking shoes and ordered in the correct size, i,e, one-half size up from “dress” shoes. The shoes arrived today, immediately put them on, and haven’t taken them off.

They are attractive and comfortable, and they support my feet. I especially like the thicker soles. I am planning to go for a walk on the university track this evening for a “test drive”. Also, ordered a couple more pairs of same to have in inventory.

DEFINTELY order ONE-HALF SIZE UP. Do so because N/B shoes notoriously run small, and also you want to be able to wear somewhat thicker socks. After an entire year of ankle, knee, leg, and hip pain for wearing the wrong size shoe, I wised up and ordered 1/2 size up.

I feel better already. I heartily recommend the 877 New Balance shoes.

These are beautiful shoes, but run very wide. My advice is that if you have any doubt about our proper width, order the narrower one, but if you receive a pair that doesn’t fit, don’t try to exchange them; wear them with heavy socks if you have to.

I ordered these to replace a pair of NB walking shoes I’d worn for years, which were so perfect, including the fit (9B), that I’d considered them irreplaceable. Last spring, however, the soles were coming apart and I could see that they wouldn’t last another season.

Someone at New Balance told me these were most like my perfect pair, and I ordered them in 9 Standard. They were much too wide! When I held them against my old pair, the soles were at least 1/2″ wider, so I sent them back to order 9 Narrow instead.

Sending them back with the label provided was easy, but getting the money put back on the gift card has turned out to be nearly impossible. Over and over – maybe a dozen times – I was told on the phone that the money had been put back on the card, then tried to order but found the gift card balance was still zero.

Eventually I reached someone through the BBB, and hope for the best, but can’t try reordering yet because 9 Narrow is now out of stock. The saga continues.

I have been wearing Brooks Addiction Walker for stability but they changed their shoe and their current V2 didn’t provide enough cushion on sidewalks. So I decided to try the NB 928v3—these 9. 5 mens fit well because of the roomy box toe—Brooks, I needed size 10 which made those a little too wide.

The NB also allows custom orthodics, which I need because of tendon surgery, and they provide plenty of cushioning on hard surfaces. They took awhile to get used to because the front of the show is tipped up—I think for a push off—but I wonder what they would be like with normal flat toe.

There is enough stability to prevent plantar fasciitus, and hip pain has gone away. I don’t like the way the velcro tabs stick out after you pull them tight, which makes them look clunky. I would like them to look “smarter” with a pair of slacks.

This shoe has been my go-to shoe for everyday use for several years. I wear them every day and get about a year out of a pair. This shoe provides not only the width but also the height that my messed-up feet need to avoid pain while walking.

Not to get personal, but my feet have been bent out of shape by past gout and arthritis problems, resulting in bunions, hammer toes and subsequent outward turning toes. This particular New Balance shoe has given me the great gift of painless walking because of its large toe box.

My only regret is that I need a new pair now and there are none available due to supply chain problems. I purchased a similar pair of New Balance but my feet hurt when wearing them.
