Customer Reviews New Balance MID989v1

These are just like all workboots - uncomfortble and stiff. I have been purchasing various hiking boots from NB for years and they worked great for my job which did not require toe protection but did require a boot. Unfortunately, as far as I can tell, NB has stopped making hiking boots. They do not have my size available in the remaining hiking boots.

The reviews are favorable however, I ordered a size 10 1/2 and I'm normally 10 1/2 or 11 W. Too small. I ordered an 11 and it was almost the same size as the 10 1/2. It was crushing my toes. I just returned them I will not buy them again.

The right boot is narrower then the left one. I already returned them this week. I'm like the look and the left boot felt comfortable, but not going to take a chance on getting a blister

The boots were enormous to the point that my foot slid around in them, but then the toes were so narrow that I got a blister the size of Montana on my right big toe. This is even after breaking them in. I really like the look of them, but I could not have been more disappointed.

The shoes are starting to separate at the side would not recommend these to anyone.

These are not true 15's...more like 14's. I have been trying to return them for 2 weeks...nothing but runaround.

Didn't like the way they fit. Wasn't comfortable. Return to store

I run a grass cutting, pressure washing, and outdoor clean up business, these boots are not comfortable at all. I'm in need of a good work boot and these NB are not the ones.(I wear/have a lot of New Balance shoes 30+ and thought these would be great, but not so much)

First off it should say made in China . Poorly made boots not comfortable not what I would expect from New Balance . I may not buy any new balance products again if I didn't wear them at work for the one day I used them I would have returned them

This boot runs very small. My big and long toe was in pain. I ordered a size 14 w. label says 14w but it is clearly a size 12W. I paid a lot of money for these boots and they are useless. New Balance is recommended by podiatrist for providing good orthopedic shoes. Not happy for this product or company service.

Good concept of having a hiker style safety toe boot but make sure you order a size up. Also I get these are boots but there is next to no cushion in these things you minus well have been walking barefoot. Unfortunately these were not a good purchase for me but if you want to try them out I would order a size up and plan on getting some aftermarket insoles so your feet don't ache after working all day in these boots.

Absolutely zero support. Very thin soles with no arch support. These would not be good for someone on a concrete floor all day. It would be nice to see these offered with the rollbar technology. If these fit and felt like the 1400 boots I would have kept them. But I returned these as I'm on concrete floor all day. Fit was good, soles and insoles leave a lot to be desired.
