The shoe looks very nice and I like it but it's to small by a half size

Review for Zappos VIP Points(What's this?)

New Balance will never disappoint, for months issues with finding a all around comfortable work with a composite alongside a wide toe box. I have purchased 2 pairs and am so very appreciative this style was available. It is a heavier shoe but so be it, being on foot for over 10 hours a day, this style and wider toe box is a perfect, and I really mean a perfect fit.

I am finally pleased with a work shoe, wider toe box is what I needed. Style is cool, sturdy too. New Balance is never disappointment if a work or cross trainer purchase.

I’m normally a size 6 but I read the reviews and ordered a half size up 6.5. They shipped so quickly!!!
They arrived a full day early, so I got them in time for my Tuesday shift. I was super surprised at how heavy and bulky they are but they’re really cute.
Unfortunately the 6.5 was also too small and my toes were smashed in the front for eight hours ??? exchanging and re-ordering could not have been easier or more pleasant!
Super happy and impressed with the service and quality.

These shoes are actually pretty comfortable. There isn't much arch support, but I have falling arches and have to wear special inserts, so if you can wear tennis shoes as they come then you'd be fine. They are heavy and clumpy but that was expected with this type of shoe. It just takes some getting used to.

I chose anew Balance because my podiatrist tells me they are the best brand for foot and ankle support. These skies are comfortable and stylish.

The fit and size of these shoes are perfect. I have never worn composite toe shoes before. Feel slightly heavier to walk in them. Will take a little while to get used to that. ?They are comfortable enough to wear for over 10 hour shifts packing boxes.

Forget that you were looking for a running shoe in this one- these aren’t made for that. But, these are comfortable for wearing at a more physically demanding work site. They are front-heavy because of the composite toe, but are well-balanced when worn. Great cool/cold weather shoe, as the toebox retains heat. I really like this shoe; just not for running.

out of the 3 pair I have, these are my go to's they are not the most comfortable but they do good for a 8 hr shift. I do wear my arch supports in them and that helps with the comfort. They do not pinch any of my toes like the skechers do. Overall if I were to recommend then yes this is a good shoe. They are not too heavy either so that is also a plus.

This shoe is decent. I had to put some extra insoles which improved the comfort tremendously. I personally like them for me feet I have tendonitis in my feet so I need comfort and arch support. Just get an extra insole and these shoes are not too bad.

I love the shoe and the wide toe, however there is a defect in the sole of the right shoe. A bump which is uncomfortable. Otherwise, I think it would be a great fit for people with wide feet, like D or DD. I am enjoying the Timberland brand but still experience pain on occasion. No steel or composite toe shoes are comfortable. Amazon needs to reconsider areas that are truly needing safety shoes and not across the board in the warehouses. Just my personal opinion......

I typically wear a size 5.5 shoe, but I decided to try a size 6, which fit well. I might even consider a size 6.5 for added comfort. I have bunions and experience pain even when I'm not wearing shoes, so my options for width are quite limited. I chose an EE width because a D width makes me feel like my bones are being crushed within 30 minutes of walking.
I would prefer a width larger than EE since I still feel pain by the end of the day, and I now have calluses on both of my small toes. I wish there were better options available for people who prefer more alternative fashionable styles. Additionally, I have pain in my heels, so I always need to use insoles that have heel support.

Great shoe, however, something in the shoe sole was not quite right. A bump in the right shoe sole was uncomfortable. The only reason I am returning them. Otherwise, New Balance shoes are fantastic!!

I'm on my second pair of these. My first pair developed holes rather quickly. I'm going to have to baby this pair so they don't fall apart like the previous pair. I give these shoes five stars for comfort, and three stars for quality/durability. If y'all could carry more of a selection in women's size 13 wide, that would be appreciated.

Fit was big. Even with wider toe size, it pinches.
