Customer Reviews New Balance MID989v1

Hard as a rock to walk on. Not comfortable at all. Not good for 10 hours on your feet.

Felt a little tight for the size.

9.5 wide ran a little small should've went half size bigger. still not to bad

These shoes had a lot of support, however, they did not have enough padding in the sole for my feet. The steel toe was another issue. It pressed on my big toe causing discomfort. I had to return them.

I already wear a half size up for comfort. All toe boxes aren't made the same.

I want to like them for what they're intended and past experience with New Balance. These were too loose on the right foot. I've had size 10, 10.5 and 11. Apparently, these don't come in a size that fits both of my feet. Too bad.

When I tried to wear a thicker sock for winter, I couldn't pull the shoe over the sock. Too Tight. I do like the larger loop on the heel to pull the shoe on, but still couldn't get it over my feet. With thinner socks, shoes are comfortable and width is right on. When I went into the garage and had some water from melted snow on my soles, I slipped. Not good for a 71 year old man. One would think that a good work shoe would have better traction. I'm not sure I want to even wear them outside in Minnesota winter. But that is what I bought them for. I wanted a firm, arch supported shoe I can wear hiking , on wet rocks and dirt paths and snow. But If they slip in the freaking garage????

The zise is perfect, but sole doesn't give you a support to your arch,and it's not good enough for work all day

So I've worn them a week now and my feet are killing me ugh ? Length seems alright but the composite toe is hurting my pinky toes and the right shoe fits much tighter than the left! After about for hours of 12 hr shift pain is unbearable ?

The boy got a little snug but the worst thing was how narrow the toe box was! you can't break that part in! Instant no from me. Sent them back.

I wear 6.5 in mens and have always had room to where my big toe never touches the front of shoe. Not in this case. I like the shoe still thinking if I should go for an 8 just to be safe.

Tight on top. Nice but it did not work on my foot.

New balance designed this shoe too narrow for the composite part! It smashes my little toe unless I really push my heel against the back of the shoe. That’s not possible. These shoes would be perfect if they were a little wider at the toe. New balance has a 589 composite that fits better in 12-4e , but they don’t feel like much cushioned.

After 3 hours waterspidering at Amazon I had to put my regular sneakers on because my feet hurt and they were wearing me out because they were so heavy.

This is a nice well made shoe. I was not looking for a shoe with a composite toe.
