Customer Reviews New Balance 806v1

I purchased this shoe for work which includes light manufacturing. I have been wearing these for about two weeks and they seem durable, slip resistant and chemical resistant as stated. I have a very wide foot and usually wear a 9.5 2E. This model is narrow in nature so I ended up ordering 10.5 2E but it still does not fit quite right as my toes are a bit snug. The other thing to consider is the shoe is not very breathable and I find my feet get hot much quicker than other NewBalance models.

I ordered 13 extra wide I have new balance sneakers now in that size, the two pair I received were clearly marked 13 extra wide but they are not wide also slightly smaller like 12.5 regular so I tried to wear them but they are to small not sure what to do

Arch support of this shoe does the job perfectly. The downside I did not like is the upper part of shoe with not much support. Slip resistance was perfect.

Very durable shoes, I do work 10-12 hours on my feet so these shoes did help out. After awhile you may need to add an additional insoles.

The shoe has great grip, looks good however lacks in cushioning

I ordered two pairs of these one in black and one in Gray the gray ones fit perfectly the black ones were much smaller despite them being ordered in the same size. So I sent the black ones back. They are very lightweight, comfortable however they do not breathe very well so not a shoe that I feel that I could wear all day long.

These are better than some when it comes to non-slip, but lack the cushion needed to work long hours. The extra wide is still not big enough for me and I usually wear just wide. If you don't work long hours and need non-slip shoes these are great. Like I said these are better than some, and I will continue to wear them, however I would not purchase these again. I love new balance though.

i got these because my job requires black shoes and there is a lot of walking involved they're a little narrow but otherwise comfortable

Work in a kitchen very comfortable for long days on my feet.

Bought these for work great anti-slip and comfortable!

I'm on my feet 8-10 hours a day. All these needed was some supportive insoles to make them all day comfortable. The heal cup is a little deep and rubbed the back of my heal until I changed the insole. Order half a size up.

Very comfortable and you can really sense the slip resistant soles.

I use these at work on a cement floor. The insert didn't have enough support for my feet. Used a 3rd party insert and now I love them. Pretty normal since every pair I have purchased at the NB store I needed to buy inserts.

This is my first pair of New Balance. I wanted to give some business to a 'Made in US' company. The shoes are very-well made and light weight. I use my pair mainly for walking. To get a proper fit I had to bump up a half size from my usual brand. The shoes fit well, but I have one issue with the design. The rise over the toes is lower than my old brand. Because of this I feel some pressure on the top of my big toes when walking. I'm hoping this will work itself out as I break them in.

Great shoe for walking, comfortable and they look nice. Every shoe I buy from NB, they feel like they'er custom fit.
