Was comfortable for being the wrong size so that's a good thing if I got the right size but unfortunately they did not have the right size for me to exchange for however the return so far has been easy

These shoes are heavier than they need be. Not as comfortable as I thought they would be and way over priced.

This is the second pair of these I have bought. The first pair one of the soles split across the ball of my foot. They lasted 2 years. I was very unhappy to see they no longer offer these with composite toe. Having steel makes them a lot heavier and not the best for cold weather. Other than that they are comfortable and do the job but I will probably not buy them again unless they come back out with the composite toe option.

Like the title says, I really wanted to like these shoes but the toe cap on the left shoe had a bump on the inside of the shoe that rubbed on my toe. I ordered these on line so no in store fitting on these. I noticed the issue immediately when I tried them on so this might be an isolated issue that you would be able to rule out by simply buying this shoe in person. I have worn NB walking shoes exclusively for years with no problems. The issue with this particular shoe is related to the safety toe.

The shoe itself would get a five star from me but because of the shoe lace issue, I am giving it an only a three star rating. The reason is because the shoe laces keep coming untied and that is a big safety concern to me. What is the point of having safety shoes if the shoes laces keep coming untied becoming a safety hazard. I have to stop and retie my shoe laces about a dozen times a day and it is really becoming annoying.
I think the shoe needs to be redesigned so the laces do not come untied or a different type of shoe laces needs to replaced so the shoes laces do not come untied.

I love my 880 and 1080 NB running shoes, so I was looking forward to a comfortable work shoe, but was terribly disappointed. I didn't expect them to be as comfortable as my running shoes, but the soles are just as hard and stiff as the boots I wanted to replace. After a shift at work, my heels were in pain. They have no arch support that I can feel under my arch, so all my weight is on my heel, and the heel is not soft at all.
But the toes were even worse. Since steel doesn't stretch, the toe area should be extra wide, but it seems to be sized just like the running shoes, so my outer toes were in a lot of pain by the end of the shift. I am going to try ordering a wider size and adding my own arch supports, but the arch support should have been built in, and I am disappointed that it was not. And very disappointed that my toes were not given extra room for the steel. Hopefully the wider size gives the space my toes need.
They are a great looking shoe with excellent appearance, colors, and textures.

I got these for my husband to wear at work since all his other shoes get destroyed within months. He said the show fit well and was comfortable, but when he bent down (which he does constantly at work), there was no padding or protection from the steal toe and the rubbing would give him sores shortly after wearing - we ended up returning the shoe because of this.

These are the most uncomfortable shoes I have ever worn. After wearing them for a full work day, it takes several days for my feet to recover.

Sole is glued to the shoe. Once the glue fails, the sole just flaps. Not made in the USA

Work in industrial maintenance. Walk a lot during the day. It's like wearing cheap heavy work boots. I would return if I could.

Too tight in the toes. I got blisters and a stree fracture on my big toe. Unfortunately I bought them for a vacation trip and had no other shoes. I've been buying NB for 20 years, but the style I wanted wasn't available, so I got these clunkers.

HEAL LIFT! Almost every shoe I've tried over the years has heal lift (your heal comes out of the shoe when you take a step). NB 203 was the only shoe that didn't do this, and I bought several pair over about 10 years. So, of course when you have a popular seller, you discontinued them. The other ones I bought in this same order were ok, but these were bad.

These are super heavy and the soles are rock hard. I cannot recommend these at all. I returned these and I'm still waiting for a refund.

I purchased these work shoes and after 2 days the bottom of my left pinky toe has been aching.
I ended up having to buy a better pair of work shoes since your company won't let you return them unless they are in original shape.
I bought for work purposes and this means they are not in the same exact shape as when they were purchased. I will never buy another pair of new balance shoes and will spread this by word of mouth to everyone I know!!

I am usually a diehard new balance purchaser. I buy my work shoes because the company doesn't offer new balance in their purchase program. This last pair I bought had the most dreadful insoles ever. Every time I wear them they kill my heels and arches.

Ordered these for warehouse work on a cement floor. They had no give or cushion. It was a very stiff shoe almost like wearing a brick. They also started falling apart. New Balance fan but not of this model.

These shoes feel like you're wearing concrete blocks on your feet. There were supposed to be great for someone standing on a concrete floor all day. No way. They have almost no cushioning in the soles.
