Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

Extremely uncomfortable heavy shoes. My foot feels like a ton each.

it was too tight

The shoe is a little bit too bulky and adds more weight to the already heady steel toe.

This shoe was so uncomfortable I considered walking off my job everyday until they were replaced with a different brand. Not only are they heavy, but they had no insole support. Please do yourself a favor and get anything else that says lightweight!!

These shoes are by far the most uncomfortable ones I’ve worked in. They hurt so bad and give you zero support. They are really cute though!

I thought they were ok when I tried them on, but working in them, my feet were killing me after a couple of hours. Felt way to narrow, and too small in front.

Order a size up for sure. If you have wide feet, the toe box is not wide and may cut into your pinky be sure to know. I am 4E and these didn't work.

The shoes are too hard and they hurt my feet and arch

Half size small narrow around the toes arch support inserts hepled but still need a half size bigger

Worst shoe ever, no give. New balance should be ashamed.

because he ,s too small he can ,it l want to change pleasse

Shoe is extremely heavy. There is no arch support.

No arch support and the composite toe part was not tall enough it aggrevated my joints on my feet.

Too small. It don't fit like a 9 1/2 w

Right on your toes painful after 10 hrs

They are too small I need a different shoe

The shoes are really heavy. The right shoe gave me three blisters on my toes and heal. OUCH.

I ordered my size in women's. It was very tight and not wide enough. The shoes were very heavy and clunky. I did return them.

It was a little bit heavy and my toes didn't fit in I had to return it.

The shoes looks good but are too heavy and dont have arch support

The right shoe was too narrow. EEW should of been wider but overall I liked the shoes

They are so painful omg like god why

I need a large toe box. Most wide shoes are not wide enough for my toes. These shoes are wide in the heel area, maybe arch area, too; but, with comp toes encroaching on the toe box.... these HURT. I even ordered up a half size to compensate for composite toes. No go. The flat footed walking part of the exterior sole changed the way a person walks. It does not bend in a normal gait. There was no comfort inner sole, no arch support. And No way for my feet to breathe. * caveat. I do not wear tennis shoes. The reasons are the same for these comp toed shoes, as regular tennis shoes. I wear crocs for toe box room and breathability. (not healthy having no arch support) I wear other shoes that have a larger round toe box, are light canvas for breathability, and lightweight easy to walk in soles (adding my own arch support) for pain relief. Shoe makers NEED to redesign their ideas regarding shoe design on toe and bone placement.... ? ever look at your foot standing on it and take a picture, then trace it onto a piece of paper and then match it to the top sole of the shoe? It just doesn't match. My foot does not look like any of those shoes. Just my 4 cents thought process. :D P.S. I have a very old pair of hiking leather shoes from same brand. My feet finally made them stretch for comfort. But breathability was always an issue, causing pain and fatigue. Sweaty feet means pain.... Period. I am not against this brand. Just tired of inferior and incorrect shoe/foot ergonomics. Returned item.

Very painful shoes. No cushion or arch support. Comp toe makes the toes feel crunched. Super flat sole that touches the ground, with little bend, so makes you walk out of normal. Extremely uncomfortable. I have New Balance walking hiking shoes (not boots or ankle height shoes) but they do not Bend as easy either. Their support and strength and comfort are far surpassing then this comp toe shoe. Poor design. Just ugly. Too flat footed to achieve a normal gait.

Too small too wide Every uncomfortable
