Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety 589v1

My feet is size 9 and ordered the same size, the shoes is too big.

well the shoes are cute but unfortunately the are really narrow and felt like they are a size smaller than what i ordered. I wore them to work and it was horrible.

I think I need a size bigger, my feet can't get used to them. Please send me a return request.

Muy grandes

These shoes are nice in comparison to other options on Zappos. Unfortunately, they didn’t meet my expectations. They are very uncomfortable especially in the toe area. The steel toe keeps rubbing against my toes when I walk. I had to return them. So hopefully I’ll have better luck next time.

These shoes are extremely heavy and cumbersome especially when being on my feet all day like we are at Amazon. I’ve never been in so much pain with a pair of shoes in my life

It felt too small and tight. My feet hurt so bad by the middle of my shift.

I am a size 6.5 and i ordered a 6.5 wide. These shoes feel clunky and heavy. They look great - the style is very nice but unfortunately my toes feel scrunched. My foot feels like I’m wearing a smaller sized shoe (like a 6). If i was to order the extra wide in my size, that may work but i will not be doing that because i honestly do not like how these shoes feel on my feet. There’s NO arch support. They’re stiff as a board. They’re not very flexible. I am on my feet for at least 4-5hrs a day on concrete and I need to be able to move fast and flex at least a lil bit w/ the variety of positions my job requires me to perform. They look thick on your feet as well. I tried on the shoes my daughter ordered from here which were the Keen utility flint 2 carbon fiber toe, and though she is a size 9w, her shoes felt fantastic. They’re also 1oz less in weight then the NB 589’s are, which believe it or not, really makes a difference. The Keen’s also flex a helluva lot more then these NB’s do, plus the Keens have excellent arch support and felt a lot better on my feet and lighter. Really noticeable diff when i tried on her Keen’s. I didn’t feel like Frankenstein. I will be returning the NB’s for the Keen flint 2. The NB 589 is a really attractive looking shoe but i need a shoe that is going to be good for my foot. I don’t really care what it looks like so long as it takes care of my feet.

I had no idea that the words, "composite toe" meant a heavy industrial shoe, but that is what I received. So, it will be returned.
