Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

I wear an 8.5 typically and I’ve had to return every pair of approved shoes for Amazon because they’re not wide enough. This time I decided to order a 10.5 2E wide hoping they would fit. My 3 small toes still hit the end of the composite toe cap. The toe box is not wide enough. These manufacturers need to get on board with the shoe companies like Altra, Xero, and Vivo who actually make a wide shoe.

Not great for standing for five hours only. Lasted for a couple of hours then I was dying.

I had to carry Blister Band-aids for a month straight I had tried different types of socks did not make a difference.

Extremely uncomfortable. Hurt my feet within the first 2 hours of wearing them. They even hurt while sitting down. They’re not a very attractive shoe to begin with, I was hoping they would have comfort going for them at least. If you’re looking for comfort, these aren’t it. If you’re looking for style, these are also not it.

Too Heavy, comfy though. Need much lighter shoe for my work.

Would not recommend

These shoes did not feel good, I got them because my work had a sign saying they were the best work shoes for men... disclaimer, they aren't. The felt at least a half size smaller, but most likely a full size smaller. I believe I ordered these a half size larger. I wore them a bit to get a feel for them and from the get-go they didn't feel uncomfortable (unlike Keen Vista Energy Mids, completely stock and the Wolverine Rev Durashocks; the company even sells insoles and the stock insoles still felt good plus they're made in USA). Thankfully though Zappos support is amazing and I was still able to return them (and order the Wolverine shoes I just mentioned) despite having them sitting for a while waiting to go back. I will note, I'm not heavy set or necessarily tall either, I'm 5'11.5" to about 6', I'm not sure my exact height because it's been awhile since I was measured and I'm a young adult, I do weigh about 175 pounds, but then again it's been a while since I was measured (I haven't gotten heavier though, I don't think, if so, it's not visually noticeable).

Normally wear size 11-11 1/2 max at size 12 these are killing my feet

When you wear it for a week, my feet start to hurt and get sore.

Not equal padding, towards toes is flat, back is thick causing feet to slide into the toe, very tight in ball of foot area

Extremely uncomfortable, cant return them however because I looked at the return policy and returns are only valid if you have not worn them. Does not make much sense.

These gotta be the WORST shoes for work. They’re look nice. But cmon. These seriously damn near gave me bunions. I had to blisters on both my big toes. My feet were throbbing the whole day. My Pinky toes look like corn on the cob. Do not recommend.

This pair of new balance were totally uncomfortable. Surprisingly, since the brand is known for comfort. I don't usually write reviews but I felt the need to save others from that torture. Buyer beware, do not buy this shoes!!

With the right shoe I have no problem, with the left shoe I feel that the iron tip is narrower and does not allow me to walk well, and I hurt my fingers during my first day. The people at Amazon told me to contact you to exchange them for another model.

Feels like its squeezes my toes together

They’re just not comfortable, the insoles are way to hard and especially for a work shoe.

Fit & size were ok....but arch was lacking & the insole was seriously lacking. Ended up w 3 blisters on my feet & one was the size of a quarter on the ball right where the toes are. Made it extremely hard to walk for about 3weeks

The size was ok the fit wasnt great and it had no arch support

Wore for 5 minutes and they hurt my feet. Didn't try to break them in as they hurt that bad right away. Returning.

no cushion crappy shoes not new balance some fake stuff

Too heavy, very uncomfortable.
