Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

ITS MORE HURT !!!!!

Did not hold up to work or last very long

Started out comfortable but became torture racks on my feet over time. Not very durable. Tore up quite a bit around the protective toe and the heel cushioning deteriorated. I expected more from New Balance. Disappointing.

The shoes where very uncomfortable I even got a bigger size still uncomfortable

Uncomfortable after 4 hrs

Worst shoes I've had from zappos

Good at first and then the pain begins after about a month. The sole of the shoe hits all the wrong spots and cause extreme discomfort (hot spots) throughout the foot. Went back to my year old Caterpillars that are leagues above these in comfort. But of course those ones are out of stock and I can’t get another pair. Sad.

It might be a New Balance thing, but they are hard as rocks and hard to stand in all day. But a good design.

This pair of shoes is all around a straight downgrade to the old pair of New Balance work shoes I had. My feet are aching all day wearing these, particularly on the heels, even after placing the insoles from my old pair into them (with and without this pair's insole). I've slipped on oil and water multiple times at work, thankfully catching myself each time, whereas my old pair could handle water easily and oil pretty well. They feel tight on the side, despite being a slight bit too long for my toes, which may mean I have wide feet or the sizing was wrong, I'm unsure. However they also pressed down on the upper arch of my foot quite a bit. Couldn't tell you why my old pair of shoes isn't on this site anymore; maybe NB figured out they're too nice and people don't want to buy new ones.

these are possibly the most uncomfortable shoes ive ever worn. I ordered my regular size which was probably a mistake in hindsight, but i still would not reorder in a larger size. toebox squeezes your toes and there is no arch support

Very uncomfortable sole, extremely hard feeling when walking.

Very uncomfortable shoe. Not much arch support and extremely heavy.

I thought these were sneakers. Absolutely NO!! These shoes are more like steal-toed shoes. The toes are stiff, and they are heavy, not lightweight. they are certainly not designed for comfort. It may be good for work shoes, but not good for walking. Too late for me too return them. But I wear size 17 and finding shoes that size are limited for me.

Just overly bulky and stiff for the style.

Theses shoes are heavy

Heavy and wears out fast.

Toe box was too small, the composite crunched my toes. I wore these for two steps and sent them back

Is too big

Not comfortable IMO

They hurt my feet really bad my My heels hurt standing on the concrete not good for a 12 hour shift.

Too Big

The shoe was alright, however, it is getting torn apart from the inside out.

Uncomfortable and too heavy.

it was too big and extremely heavy even for a safety shoe with a composite toe. I ony tried them on at home so can't comment beyond that.
