Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

My shoes were too wide and big and flopped on my feet anytime I wore them. By the time I got off work, my feet would hurt so bad. Not only from blisters, but from having to crimp my toes to keep the shoes from flopping. I tried several pairs of socks, but that didn't even help.

I ordered a size 5 and felt like I was wearing a 3 they aren’t comfortable the tie part is extra hard and hurts

DO NOT GET THESE FOR WORK!!! these hurt my feet so bad

too big and havey

I wish it had more room for the toes and a little tighter at the heel.

I have a narrow foot but got a medium width shoe. The composite toe on this rubbed my pinky toe and the shoe overall felt heavy and clunky.

Shoes were extremely uncomfy don’t buy.

No heel support at all. Shoes look like they have good support but feel like I am walking on bricks. Even using an insert.

i like the color of the shoe, but there is no give with the shoe at all. It feels heavy on my feet, my feet swell up inside of the shoe. Very very uncomfortable to wear.

This was wayyy too big for me

Heavy...just not comfortable at all

Too heavy no arch support.

They weren't wide enough. Too tight throughout.

Got an extra wide size and definitely doesn’t feel like it. The shoe is so uncomfortable and feels like the steel toe is scraping my toes on the side. I can barely walk at work and when I get off I have to sit in my car for 30 minutes due to the pain in my feet.

The whole soles of my feet were covered in blisters.

I wear New balances outside of work. I am a diabetic these work shoes are horrible I feel they had no support and were not true to the new balance brand. The comfort in regular new balance trainers is what I expected from the brand. I was very disappointed. Amd now a Hassel to return amd a longer wait with my old shoes that are more comfortable but again are not appropriate for a diabetic.

worst shoes, you can't work 10 hours at amazon with these shoes... not comfortable at all

So I bought these for a job working 12 hour shifts. DONT! These shoes are so uncomfortable even with inserts that I bought my feet up to my knees were on fire they hurt so bad. The inserts that come in the shoe itself are paper thin. After 2 weeks of trying to “break them in” I’ve decided to buy a different pair.

The shoes really hurt my toes. I have other composite toe shoes and my toes have never hurt like this

was not true to fit, they were so big.

The shoe is very uncomfortable if you’re going to be on your feet all day.

This is the only shoe Amazon makes available in the EE width I need, but they were like torture chambers for my feet. The soles don't flex at all so you have to clomp along very carefully, remembering to put each foot flat each time, because if you try to walk normally, the lack of flexation in the sole will trip you up. I nearly fell several times. Ironic for a "safety" shoe! These are quite possibly the worst shoes I've ever worn (or tried to).

I was hoping going up in size would be helpful . But I really need a 4e wide shoe. It would be great if there were more of a selection for support extra wide feet, like mine. I was uncomfortable very quickly after putting them on.

Like little torture chambers for your feet! The soles are very rigid and don't flex at all so you can't walk normally; you have to clomp along flat-footed, paying attention to your stride at all times, because if you forget for a moment and try to walk normally, the shoes will trip you up! I have almost fallen several times. It's scary! Unfortunately these are the only Amazon-approved shoes in an extra-wide size, so it appears I'm stuck with them. After only a couple of days, I'm beginning to experience knee pain from wearing them, thus I fear my tenure at this job will be short as a result.
