Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety Elite Lite

I needed safety work shoes and after already sending two different pairs back I was starting to think I'd never find a comfortable pair to replace my aging safety shoes. With the weather still warm I didn't want a pair of heavy boots so I was looking for a lighter pair of sneaker type shoes. After reading a few positive online reviews I decided to try this pair and I'm glad that I did. Safety shoes always seem to be more narrow than other shoes, even in wide width which was part of the problem. I usually take a wide in Merrill hikers but in safety shoes wide doesn't work for me. These however, are great! Very comfortable right out of the box. I didn't even need a break in period. I put them on and went right to work. No issues at all. They look nice and people even commented that they don't look as big as my previous pair. ( 13 wide usually looks like "clown shoes".) So far these are great and only time will tell how they last. Zappos did a great job shipping them to me and also in taking the one's that didn't fit back. My feet are happy and so am I. Thanks Zappos!

I got them on black and also grey and I love them. I have used many safety shoes and these ones are the best I have ever tried and they look really good too.

The most comfortable safety work shoe I have owned felt like a sneaker.

Shoe feels comfortable. Makes working easy, especially because I’m on my feet the entire shift. Love the color way too. Great shoe!

Very well made and strong shoe, and despite being a work safety shoe, it is surprisingly not heavy.

It’s a bigger than usual I use

Love it true to size

Lightweight, comfy, stylish. Honestly liked it.

I need size 11

Fit great, look great, but something around the composite toe has started to break and come off in the lining of my shoe. It would constantly stab at my toes and cause a lot of pain. I eventually just decided to cut them out from the inside.

The fit was a half size too big, but I can definitely tell it would be very comfortable. They are also lightweight for a steel toe work shoe. Will reorder again in a smaller size.

I usually buy size 11, the steel toe was hurting my toes.. so I bought 11 1/2 this time and the steel is still hurting my toe. I want to send it back, but I wore it for 3 days already. Steel toes are not comfortable.

Good for wear house work not for delivery drivers.

Needs better cushioning for inosoles. Especially if you are mareketing this to employees that are on there feet for 10+ hours

After 3 months the shoes start making squeeky noice when walking

Everything was fine other than the shoe fell apart only one month into wearing them. The heels wore out less than a month into wearing them and the plastic started to stick out and poke my heel causing pain. I have to put a couple layers of thick tape so I could be able to walk in them again.

Perfect

This New Balance is great! I absolutely love it. I wear a 9 in woman’s shoes, so I purchased the 7 D- Medium in men’s Grey and they fit perfect. This was my fourth shoe that I had to order because the others either were too big or too wide, and these right here fit like a charm. They could use a little more cushioning, however I’ll be purchasing some shoe soles to make them softer. I’m so happy to have my work shoes, because I thought I would never find the right size!

they look used but smell clean. they are a tiny bit big in the heel. feels like i might lose them in the step. i might try to tie them tighter

I like them, fits perfectly, very comfortable, and lightweight. Thank you.

These were my favorite out of all the pairs I got to work at amazon. It's a shame they got dirty so fast but obviously if you work at amazon you know that's going to happen.

Good shoes!

This is the 5th pair that I have owned and continue to get them every year.
