Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

I love this fit and the color , if feels stable and safe for a slippery environment, but to bad I got the wrong size [10]and it is difficult to find size 12. love it overall , would recommend

It was a snug fit. I'll probably need insoles because I usually stand for hours on end but other than that, it's perfect.

great work shoes if you get some arch support to go with them

you'll definitely need some inner soles after you break them in

I currently present with heel fat pad syndrome. It really prevents me from giving a fair review to be a man or woman who doesn't suffer as such. I will say I got a great month of extremely comfy wear as a carriage return team member for a large grocery store. Pushing those 5-6 carriages was a dream and I felt as though I was firmly cushioned and supported by the shoes. After two months the shoes are holding up great. I may probably want to consult a podiatrist for an evaluation. Cheers!

Reforming it due to interference from the composite toe reinforcement. The right inner part of the shoe is rubbing against my big toe.

They don't feel very comfortable walking all the time in them or when doing work in colder environments but it does protect the feet well and barely any troubles slipping. Had yo buy better and more comfortable insoles to actually enjoy the work and being able to move without stopping every give seconds due to having a blister.

The fit was true to size. What I would prefer is the top of toe portion of shoe to be a solid fabric not netting which pulls and rips easily in a warehouse setting doing normal warehouse work. I do replace the insole of every shoe I buy with a more supportive insert for better comfort on concrete floors 10 + hours a day.

I have the exact same pair in blue so I bought these as I figured the other ones feel great and it's just a different color. They do not fit the same as my other pair, feet are usually a little sore after wearing this pair. Going to try different/new insoles vs. the ones that came in the shoe and see if that makes a difference.

Fit great. Plenty of toe room. Could have more comfortable cushiony insoles

fits great feels great !

The shoe is pretty decent. Doesn’t leave my feet hurting after 10 hrs of walking around. My pinky toe on the other hand have had some good days and some bad battling against the steel toe.

I wear a size 11 and have a bunion on my left foot and my podiatrist says I do not have wide feet. But my feet sure appreciate a wide toebox so I have switched over to ordering shoes at least double E wide put a found on trying several of the other shoes that Amazon, approves of, that the 2E toebox is too narrow. I ordered size 11, for the width as they did not have an 11.5 size in a 4E shoe is overly roomy with the thin cushion insole that new balance provides for the shoe with no arch support. I had tried Timberland shoes which are not comfortable, but saw that their insole looked fantastic, and had very good arch support so I ordered a set of those from Amazon to put in the shoes With medium thick socks and just the Timberland insoles the shoes are roomy and comfortable. I tried putting the Timberland soul insoles over the included standard insoles, but they made the left shoe a little too tight in the toebox area. These shoes do breathe exceptionally well compared to the Merrells I had been wearing, but these are still very heavy as I weighed them in at 17.9 ounces each. I wanted a lighter shoe for walking 10 miles in a five hour shift on concrete, but apparently cannot find that shoe. The shoes are well-made and should hold up to kicking. The wheel breaks off the carts, working on the cross dock at Amazon. But I sure wish they were lighter.

Nice shoe needs to be in 1/2 size

First off, I wear a size E or wide shoe, but have found with composite toes that the safety toe cap is usually very narrow and pinches your toes unless you go up 1/2 to one size in a shoe that you normally wear. I ordered the shoe in a 4e, which is just right and gives my toes room to move. The insole provided is terrible, thin, and no art support. The shoe is comfortable only with the Timberland insoles that you can buy separately and trim to size. If you do that, you have a shoe you can wear for 10 hours on concrete. I wanted at 11.5 so I could double up on the insoles for comfort but Zappos did not have that in stock. When I use the Timberland insole with the stock, new balance insole, it makes the toes on my left foot a little too tight, and can only wear them for two hours. With just the timberland insole, I can wear them for two shifts straight, but I would not mind having a little extra cushion even though the Timberland insoles are very good. The new balance shoes seem to be very sturdy, but not quite as well-made as Merrells. The weight of the shoe in size 11-4e with the Timberland insole is 17.9 ounces, very heavy comparable to the Merrell shoes. It is hard to get a lightweight shoe in wide width to accommodate bunions.

would be great if they made a 12& a half

Very comfortable safety shoe. Good arch support.

Feels a little heavy and bulky, but it is considered lightweight. Not sure how I feel about it overall as of yet.

The size 11 was tight and not comfortable. I had to reorder a size 12. It feels better and is getting more comfortable. First couple of days the shoe was very hard. But it is starting to break in now.

The shoes fit good with great support, but once i put them on, i felt the urge to wear cargo khaki shorts, mow the grass, bbq some ribs and take the kids to football practice

They fit great, like the way they look. I believe they look fine . Wear them around the house to the store and to work.

ok hurts after 6 mo
