Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

I am normally a 9, the 9 xwide was too loose, the 9 wide was too tight.

It fit a lil to tight could I swap it to 6 1/2

Couldn't wear. Miserable to my toes.

I've worn these for 6 weeks and I'm still hobbling out to my car at the end of a 10 or 12 hour shift. I like the way they look and breathe and they aren't incredibly heavy feeling when walking. They just aren't comfortable in any tiny way.

I like the style of the shoe but it was definitely larger than a women's size 10 so it will definitely be returned and hopefully they will have a smaller size.

These came really big

Bulky

The composite plastic was right up against the sides of my toes, not good, I could feel that just by trying them on in the house, never wore them to work.

Can’t get wet smells extremely bad only where the shoes to work no ore then 10x Have over 50 shoes and boots currently and never ever had a problem with any of my sneakers or boots smelling bad

I actually returned these. I was delighted with the color and brand I love in an extra wide size, but I didn't notice that they are basically a work boot in sneaker clothing! The toe is very high and the shoe looks like it could really kick butt--not what I was looking for though. Very heavy and heavy duty!

The front part was too small and tight. I stand 10 hrs at work and they were hurting my feet

The width was great in the front of the shoe, but too wide in the heel

Shoes were slightly smaller.

The size was slightly smaller and the were heavier then expected.

It feels like I have a bricks on my feet. They feel very heavy.

My first purchased of this shoe was terrible. It was look like I had to carry overweight shoes with long hours of standing and working. My feet was painful. I afraid to buy again new balance. If you like to buy, try at home first so you can carry that heavyweight shoes or not.

A little upset they do feel a whole size larger and hurts one foot more the the other

To hard and not a good arch support

The size is true to size but the toe compression area does not leave much room. Very uncomfortable after walking in them.

I feel like Herman Munster but my feet are protected. ?

This is a work boot with a stiff reinforced frame. It is not a walking shoe and not a running shoe. Very durable but also very heavy to wear.

I got these shoes for my Amazon delivery station position (10 hour shifts). The good thing about these are they do give (little) arch support and they break in after a couple of days but they are still uncomfortable by the end of the day. They were too big (about a half size) which allowed my foot to move a lot in the shoe. The shoes themselves are very large, bulky and heavy. They are not flexible at all and I can feel the extra weight to my legs after a while of wearing them. If you’re shopping for your Amazon job or 10 hour shifts, do yourself a favor and try the Reebok or Timberland Pro.. They are the most recommended at my job. And if you’re sketchy about if you will like your shoes, you can find some safety toe shoes at DSW that you can try on and see which are most comfortable. Zappos also has an amazing return policy that lasts for 365 days so if you don’t like your shoes after a week or two you can send them back for a full refund. Also for those wondering, I did not keep the shoes longer than my first week. Good shoes are essential if you plan to stay at your job for a while. I plan to go to DSW and try on some more shoes before I buy a new pair. Thanks for reading, good luck on your search!

Not comfortable

very uncomfortable, I don’t know if it’s cause it felt like a size larger or the weight of the shoes but I had to get these shoes for work and they’re good for protection as if something heavy ever fell on you but comfort for standing long periods of time is a major no.

They’re not comfortable for more than 6 hours in my opinion, they’re quite heavy as well even for safety shoes. They definitely run big I typically wear a 7 or 7.5, I got a 7 in these and my feet constantly slide out of them. I would not recommend these shoes at all
