Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

The shoes really hurt my toes. I have other composite toe shoes and my toes have never hurt like this

was not true to fit, they were so big.

The shoe is very uncomfortable if you’re going to be on your feet all day.

This is the only shoe Amazon makes available in the EE width I need, but they were like torture chambers for my feet. The soles don't flex at all so you have to clomp along very carefully, remembering to put each foot flat each time, because if you try to walk normally, the lack of flexation in the sole will trip you up. I nearly fell several times. Ironic for a "safety" shoe! These are quite possibly the worst shoes I've ever worn (or tried to).

I was hoping going up in size would be helpful . But I really need a 4e wide shoe. It would be great if there were more of a selection for support extra wide feet, like mine. I was uncomfortable very quickly after putting them on.

Like little torture chambers for your feet! The soles are very rigid and don't flex at all so you can't walk normally; you have to clomp along flat-footed, paying attention to your stride at all times, because if you forget for a moment and try to walk normally, the shoes will trip you up! I have almost fallen several times. It's scary! Unfortunately these are the only Amazon-approved shoes in an extra-wide size, so it appears I'm stuck with them. After only a couple of days, I'm beginning to experience knee pain from wearing them, thus I fear my tenure at this job will be short as a result.

no toe area at all

To heavy there was no difference in a 7.5 and a 8

Heavy shoes not a good option if you will be standing for long periods of time I personally love new balances but these were the exception

Horribly uncomfortable. Tried 3 different sizes. Returned these as well. I love Nee Balance shoes. These are torture devices and weigh a ton.

These shoe's left blisters on my pinky toes after one 9 hour shift. Not sure how these are classified as sneakers. Definitely disappointed with them.

Due to limited wide availability, I ordered these. On my third pair exchanged twice. Horribly uncomfortable. I have had coworkers tell me they sent back also. The safety portion curves downward into top of toes and rubs. I ordered another pair elsewhere, different brand. I have bruises on my toes from these. If you stand still all day, might be fine, but you will need insoles.

The fit and size are correct but when walking in them, they kill my feet. Even with putting support insole in them, they still hurt my feet. They had the balls and heels of my feet hurting so much that my toes were cramping.

i could not walk across my livinroom in them they hurt so bad

Hard like a rock had to return it.

I didn’t received my order

Very uncomfortable shoes and they are heavy and bulky not happy at all they kill my feet.

Did not like them I wouldn’t mind the style of the comfort was good but they are bad uncomfortable

First initial try on felt ok, but the more I wore them I realized that the toe area was very narrow and there was no arch support.

Shoes would be great to wear in just snow. They are very hot to work in. They are also almost like wearing flip flop style tennis shoes. The back will not stay on the foot while walking. They do not bend with every step either. As if your wearing wooden clogs would best describe these shoes. Would not recommend.

do NOT order if you're looking for comfort! They are extremely painful

Too big and heavy they hurt my toes.

It was very uncomfortable

Very uncomfortable shoes
