Customer Reviews New Balance MID589v1

Shoes were a lot more narrow then other shoes of that type of shoe.

Supposed to be wide but squeezes my feet. Not comfortable.

Shoes were a lot heavier than expected and the sole was very hard. Maybe suitable for working outside but not for walking on hard floors all day.

These shoes came with no insoles in them. I added some insole from another pit of shoes and they are bearable for a secondary pair of shoes for work. I am on concrete and pavement for 8 hours a day and feet are usually hurting before I get off work. Will not be going back for more.

I have been wearing this shoe for about a week hoping it would break in and start to feel better but it isn't. These shoes run smaller than expected and my big toe is cramped at the end of the shoe. Buy the next size up if you buy these shoes. I only buy New Balance as I do have a wide foot but this shoe doesn't work for me.

I work at a fish taco shop/bar & I have a pretty big shoe size (15s) & I order New Balances online because I know how they fit. Well, this is the second New Balance shoe I've ordered that upon trying on, they seemed alright. However, when wearing them out & about, aka, being on my feet for hours at my service industry job, I had realized they were slightly too big, & crazy heavy! It takes effort lifting my legs to take steps. It's basically a semi-heavy-duty work boot disguised a sneaker. My feet are already big & this shoe makes them more conspicuous & cumbersome, but I've already worn them to work, so it's too late to refund them now, but I would say it's not New Balance's fault. I should have figured with the description, that this was a very heavy duty shoe. Next time I'll just stick to the 806's. Those shoes are practically perfect. I just wish they had a little more padding, or protection throughout. Dropping a beer keg on your foot is not fun.

My Normal show size is 9 so ordered a 9 1/2 as you did not offer a 100 0r 10 1/2 and of course it was too small as your shoes normally run small. so waiting to be offered the right size composite toe size 10 1/2.. to try them out..

just didn't fit well. it was like wearing ankle weights

I love the look of these shoes and was looking forward to having a comfortable shoe for work. I am a quality engineer working for a contract manufacturer of electronic circuit boards. I was extremely disappointed to find the design and construction of this shoe is to meet the electrical hazard portion of the standard rather than the static dissipation requirements as stated in the description of the shoe. The shoe is also labeled as EH rather than SD. Returned for refund.
