These shoes are AWESOME but do run small. So be sure to order the next size and wide up. They are comfortable, breathable and highly durable. Been wearing there for 3-4 months and barely any signs of wear.

I've been wearing this sneaker everyday to work for the past 2 months, I have no complaints. Love the adaptive fit! Very comfortable! Highly recommend.

In a restaurant environment it does well. Pretty comfortable and good fit. Doesn’t look like a normal safety shoe more like a training shoe so the styling is a plus for me.

Great work shoe because the material cleans easily and is water resistant. Non slip soles are great and these are better looking than most other sneakers designed for this use. I question their durability but so far I haven’t had any issues. I think NB often times offers a 4E width and they never feel much wider than an E or even D. Normally it doesn’t effect the comfort but I feel like my sneakers would last longer if my foot wasn’t wider than the sole. Basically I’m saying I’m not sure what exactly 4E is, but this shoe is either not a true 4E or my foot is 8E

Great work shoe. I got complimented on my shoes multiple times the first time I wore them by people who couldn't believe they were NB's. The insoles are paper thin though so get some good ones.

Very good grip but only draw back for me is the insole could use more cushion After wearing for a couple hours I find they are not that comfortable

I have had these shoes when they were known under 806K1. Has something changed under the new name of 806v1 ? I dont know. What I do know is these shoes run small and tight. I recommend you order a 1/2 size larger than you normally wear. These kicks will take a little time to stretch out but when they do its pretty comfortable. I have worn these all through nursing school and now on the job. They have lasted 3 years so far but are starting to show their age. I am scared to order online since they always run small so I am looking for a local place to buy again.

I really like the look of these shoes. At first glance it is hard to see the athletic shoe and that is nice as I am professional who spends a lot of time on his feet moving around our facility. The comfort is spot on and so is the grip. They do run on the smaller side so going up a size would be prudent. I plan on ordering a few more pairs just to keep me well stocked.

I've been happy so far with these shoes at my job. I have to stand on concrete all day and comfort is very important. I added SOLE insoles to these since the ones that come with the shoes are pretty much useless. They run small. A size 14 extra-wide fits my size 13 feet very well.

I purchased this shoe for work which includes light manufacturing. I have been wearing these for about two weeks and they seem durable, slip resistant and chemical resistant as stated. I have a very wide foot and usually wear a 9.5 2E. This model is narrow in nature so I ended up ordering 10.5 2E but it still does not fit quite right as my toes are a bit snug. The other thing to consider is the shoe is not very breathable and I find my feet get hot much quicker than other NewBalance models.

Arch support of this shoe does the job perfectly. The downside I did not like is the upper part of shoe with not much support. Slip resistance was perfect.

Very durable shoes, I do work 10-12 hours on my feet so these shoes did help out. After awhile you may need to add an additional insoles.

I ordered two pairs of these one in black and one in Gray the gray ones fit perfectly the black ones were much smaller despite them being ordered in the same size. So I sent the black ones back. They are very lightweight, comfortable however they do not breathe very well so not a shoe that I feel that I could wear all day long.

These are better than some when it comes to non-slip, but lack the cushion needed to work long hours. The extra wide is still not big enough for me and I usually wear just wide. If you don't work long hours and need non-slip shoes these are great. Like I said these are better than some, and I will continue to wear them, however I would not purchase these again. I love new balance though.
