I appreciated that these safety shoes looked like a standard cross-trainer athletic shoe. They feel much heavier than a standard gym shoe but that's likely because of all the armor built into the shoe. These shoes definitely fit better than other safety shoes I purchased a year ago but never wore because they were too large and I could not return or exchange them. I typically am uncomfortable buying clothing/shoes online because I want the opportunity to try something on before I buy, but the pandemic has eliminated that option (for now). Some of the reviews I read gave favorable ratings for overall fit so I based my choice on that and thankfully, the shoes did fit when I tried them on after they were delivered. Another suggestion from buyers was to replace/remove the weak insole with an aftermarket insert and after doing that there was an immediate improvement in comfort and better arch support. I have just received these shoes and have not had a chance to put them through a 10-hour shift but after I wear them a few times at work, I'll update this review. But so far, I like the look and how they wear.

Moderately comfortable shoe, but the top lace eyelet rubs on both foot at odd angle.

My feet felt like they were moving a lot while was working and made it hard and very uncomfortable. I stopped using these shoes after a week and bought new shoes from another brand as soon as I could. I saved my feet from literal torture.

Worn them to work once. Wish I could return them. Toe kept hitting metal tip. Hurts. Wear thick socks if you purchase these.

Bought these for work and they are just not comfortable. I've worn New Balance for years and had high hopes. Love the look but too painful to wear.

Nice looking and comfortable shoe. However, the toebox is narrower than I've come to expect from New Balance's higher end shoes. I was looking for something I can wear to work, but my toes rub against the steel. Had to return.

They are ok, not real great cushion ,had to put additional cushion inside the shoe. Which makes the shoe tighter..

The shoes are a nice design and they fit well, but they were not for me. I put them on and after 2 mins of walking around all I could feel was the alloy toe pinching into my upper foot. Due to the flexibility of the shoe (aka, the comfort part) you'll always feel that part when you go to squat down.

I like these shoes in terms of fit and comfort. However the stitching on the outside of one of the shoes started to separate in less than 30 days under light/moderate use. NB support was very responsive. I will try the version of this shoe that has no stitching.

The steel toe was the worst part. I got tons of blisters and it was useless to return because of a credit I had.
