Customer Reviews New Balance MID989v1

Shoes are very comfortable and easy to wear. Unfortunately in less than 45 days of wear a hole developed in the lining at the outside of the heel under the breathable mesh sides. (On both shoes!) I needed a composite or safety toe. Really wish New Balance would add more options in safety/composite toe shoes.

Had to return the boots. Bummed as all I wear are New Balance otherwise.

The composite toe was to low for my toes. My toes rubbed on the edge of the composite.

Bought these boots to work in an automotive shop. Super comfortable right out of the box. I have now worn them for 7 work days and the sole is already coming apart from the leather near the toe. Feel like I wasted my money.

shoe doesn't fit me to well. and its very bulbous maybe because it's composite toe.

Runs narrow. Bought a 4E size, and it still pinches my toes.

Top of shoes already wearing threw not a good shoe if your in construction line of work comfortable shoes thow ,and I'm really hard on shoes

First pair of NB 989's in 11.5 2E fit good. however the toe guard came apart around 5-6 months of wear. Since we were past NB's take back window, they provided us with a $50 coupon. Ordered another pair of 11.5 2E's and the length is too short. We also experienced sizing inconsistencies in the girls and women's running shoes.

The sole was splitting from the bottom of the boot after maybe 3 days. It maybe be because mines a size 16, but you'd still expect it to be constructed accordingly. Also the toe cap curls back too far

I am a size 9.5 EE. This is my size for all other new balance products. I ordered 9.5EE, way too short. sent them back. I ordered 10.0EE, still too short, sent them back. I have now ordered 10.5 EE and we will see....very frustrating. They look good for what they are. Seem well constructed.

Too small

Usually wear a 9.5 W. These were too short and too narrow in the toe box unlike all my previous NB walking shoes. These were returned within 3 days of delivery and I am still waiting for my refund to be posted!!

They hurt my feet

Light weight and comfortable. Already has a big rip in it after only 2 weeks.

I ordered a size 10 and it fits like a 9 1/2. I am on concrete all day and these boots kill my toes! I can't wear them and now I can't return them because I have worn them. I like how light weight they are, if I could wear them.

Well I have to give it a thumbs down, because foot was aching bad in them causes pain fatigue even put some insoles in them didn't do the trick not worth the money.
