Customer Reviews New Balance 627v2

Overall I am extremely happy with my new New Balance shoes. At first I noticed the shoes were a bit heavier than shoes I normally wear (I suppose due to the safety features), but after wearing them for a couple days the weight difference was barely noticeable anymore. The shoes offer great protection.

Ordered a 6. Shoe felt extra big and bulky not to mention heavy.

I loved this shoe when I first got it (9EE) as it has a protected toe box and that is very much needed. However it was half a year in that I noticed a corn formed in the middle of my wider foot. I'm undecided whether to continue getting this shoe as it doesn't come any wider than 2E and clearly a 3E or 4E is what I need to stop damaging that foot. On the other hand... I have to work now and not later. :(

The style is pretty, and of course working in a warehouse one needs proper shoes. They are heavier than my foam NB sneakers of course. I can't say they are comfortable as I am so use to the foam sneakers. My feet hurt because they are not used to the leather sneakers that are stiffer, and so I will get used to them. All in all, they are a great fit, great shoe and I am looking forward to buy more like them. Boots are stiffer, and my tender feet are not used to these types of shoes but to have a sneaker steel toe is pretty incredible in itself. I have come to expect shoes that are great to be a New Balance brand and NB done it awesome again. Thanks Zappos for have yet made another great shoe.

Super cute, very narrow. A co worker said I should go a half size bigger and 1 width wider ... my pink toes and others at our Facility had to buy pinkie toe cushions. The first week I could barely walk by the end of my 10 hour shift. I was waiting for the "break in" period to end, but 2 months later they still hurt.

These shoes are obviously meant for a different type of situation than I bought them for, to wear to work (in a hospital). I find them very uncomfortable when wearing them all day. They're stylish. I'm sure I'll find places to wear them (hiking, etc), but for me, they miss the mark on comfort.

Fits good except arch support is not there, would have to add an insert which would mean moving to a larger size. Also, very heavy. Selected this item because of poor selection in wide wide width sizes.

They still hurt my feet very bad

Tried the black 627 (from Amazon) which were so stiff and heavy it was like they had a steel sole too! Tried the gray suede, better...still pretty stiff and heavy but at least the shoe bent some at the toe when walking, of course going wide (for toe room) created heel slippage. I usualy wear a size up in NB, but had to go with a wide, because the toe box is pretty narrow which is not good, when made of steel. Tried the 589, which is composite toe. The 589 fit better: felt slightly longer, lighter, had more heel (stability) support and less heel slippage, and had a wider symetrical toe box. Sending back the 627 as they are a poor fit and too uncomfortable.

They were big and I felt like I was wearing Herman munster shoes. Returned them.

They were really heavy and the material was very hard.
