Customer Reviews New Balance MID989v1

New Balance has always been my go-to shoe but normal size was short in length, good in with width.

I'm an electrician, I've tried several brands over 30 years, this one is good for concrete floors and walking around the jobsite. Impressively it's good on ladder work also. I just ordered a new pair because these run narrow and I wear orthotics so I need a wider boot.

Very supportive and comfortable. The added ankle support is very nice. They do appear to run narrower then normal. I bought a wide and it's still tight

I'm using my New NB working shoes for my job and I'm happy with them. The show fits great and it the hard top and general design of the shoes keep me safe. I had ankle surgery and my NB shoes have protected me and given support to my feet at all times. The only aspect I don't like much is that my feet get soar at the end of the working shift because of the hardness of the shoes on my toes. I have tried different socks and have not been able to solve the issue.

Just bought a set of these to replace the non existent arch support clogs I was wearing. Wore them to work today and can visibly see my foot sliding out from under me while simply standing. Outside on damp surfaces no issues. But on a Kitchen floor? No bueno guys. Otherwise the boots feel gre on my feet

I have worn NB's for awhile now. These safety shoes are great, still breaking these in though but I can already tell the difference from my boots!! Thank you NB for making them!!

So far they are what I needed. The tops are stiff for my ankles but should soften up in time. They fit like my other New Balance shoes, that is why I have been buying New Balance shoes for the last 15 years

My husband loves these work shoes. We ordered extra wide and they are perfect!

They definitely have a break in period but after that, they feel like I'm walking on clouds. The only complaint that I have is that they are very uncomfortable standing in one spot for an extended period of time, like very painful. Other than that, pretty solid!

It looks like a strong boot, but need better insole. To stay working for long time is hard. Wearing it for about three weeks and I have to take it off at least one time a day for about 20 minutes.

I bought this shoe for my husband who is an auto technician and he reported changes to his feet the next day after he started using this shoe. He stands all day long and reports he is not tired as he used to with the regular tennis shoe.

The show are very nice, but took alot longer then 2-5 days more like 14 days

Definitely go wide and the go a size up. First impression is comfortable but we shall see after I put them through some punishment at work. I give it a 4 being smaller than expected. Adidas tends to inform you better with their purchase.
