Customer Reviews New Balance MID626v2

Love these shoes & I have been wearing them for many years. I'm on my feet all day & walk 30,000+ steps a day. The soles are very durable & I get a full year out of each pair. The smooth leather makes keeping them sharp a breeze. I hit them with am Armorall Leather Wipe once a week & they look great. I wear a size 13 & somewhere along the line New Balance changed the mold. I still measure as a 13 D, but I have to order these in a 14 D or they are too small. I tried on another model at the New Balance store & had the same issue. New Balance should check their factory 13 molds as they appear to be off. There is one weak spot to this shoe & that is the material that covers the heel padding. It feels like pantyhose material, inevitably tears, then the unprotected foam padding begins to come apart in chunks. A more durable material covering the foam is desirable. Lastly, I wish New Balance would offer these in more colors. The gray ones no longer show as available. What I would really like to see is these available in brown. Not suede but the same matte leather as the black version. If I could have these in black, gray, & brown I'd wear nothing else.

The sole on the front started to come off after 8 months. I thought these were supposed to be work shoes. Contacted customer service with the photos and they did not even respond. Waste of money. Gotta love their competition on their warranty service and customer support.

Compared to other regular size shoes I have..this one is tight that I need to wrap m pinkies...

Only pair of shoes i have found for my clubed feet. Good traction even in greasy or wet environments. All around shoes very pleased.

I work on hard concrete floors all day. I used to have pain, not just in my feet, but all up and down my lower legs. That's gone since I started wearing these shoes. I won't say that it doesn't feel like I've been on my feet, but the pain is gone! Now if they could just make a show that also took away the tiredness. ;)

Good, sturdy shoes upon first inspection. I have only wore these for a week. So I will review again in a month or so.

I'm a delivery driver. I get in over 25,000 steps per day and love these shoes. They very cushiony and provide great support. Of all the shoes I've tried, these are the most comfortable and hold up the longest.

I bought the show for Work. Although I work in an office, I still need to go to the shop floor. The shop has allot of welding going on so there are sparks flying everywhere. These shoes do well in that environment all the while providing good grip. When i get back to the office my feet don't hurt so I can concentrate on the task at hand. The only minor flaw I can find is the loop above the heel is too small. I can't get my finger in it.
