New BalanceMen's Composite Toe Quikshift Industrial Shoe

These are very comfortable shoes! They are sized correctly and easy to wear all day. They're pretty lightweight also considering what they are. You would never think that they even have a composite toe in them. Of course they are kind of large in the toe because of that but they give you the support you need without sacrificing comfort.

Really light, very comfortable. No break in required. My first day wearing them was a 12 hour day my feet felt fine afterwards. I like the way they look also

I walk on concrete all day long in an industrial environment in safety boots or shoes. Recently, I started to have some ankle, arch, and heel pain. My feet were killing me at the end of the day. It got to the point that I was experiencing significant pain. I tried some orthopedic inserts and that helped a lot. However, I still was not completely pain free. I was going to go to a podiatrist, but one of my co-workers told me I just needed some different footwear. I decided to change from a boot to a shoe. After looking at shoes at an orthopedic shoe place and being shocked at how expensive they were, I started looking at reviews online for orthopedic work shoes. These New Balance industrial safety shoes are highly rated for comfort. I wasn't too sure if they would be right for me as I have always worn boots, but I ordered them because they are way less expensive than any work shoe that has "ortho" in the name. When I got them, I replaced the standard insert with an orthopedic insert that has a heel cushion and arch support. I put them on and wore them around my house trying to decide if I wanted to wear them to work the next day. Frankly, they didn't seem all that comfortable, but I decided to wear them the next day. I walked all day without any pain at all. My feet felt the same at the end of the day as they did at the start of the day. When I was wearing boots, my feet would be killing me at the end of the day and I couldn't wait to get home home and take off my boots. With these New Balance shoes, my feet felt so good at the end of the day I didn't want to take off my shoes. These shoes are an absolute game changer. They are wonderful and so comfortable to walk in. I also really like the slip resistant sole. My boots were smooth on the bottom for walking inside. When I had to walk through a wet or snowy parking lot, or a wet or oily spill on the floor inside, I would slip and actually had a couple of falls. These shoes solve all of the problems I needed solved. The only question I have now is how well they will hold up. They are very well made and sturdy, so I don't see that as being an issue at all. These are seriously great shoes. If you are having any type of foot pain at work, buy these and get a good orthopedic insert. You will be amazed at how much better your feet and ankles will feel. They are worth every penny. I am very pleased and thankful to have these New Balance shoes.

fit is good , fairly light but heavier, and stiffer than my New Balance sneakers. Doesn't spread apart on shoe when removing so, that when putting back on bends back end a little ,have to put more pressure to put back on. Otherwise happy with purchase.

I was tired of wearing running shoes, there is oil,water,and etc all around my job, i keep tripping over my feet, because the oil or water gets moved around the floor with help of the many feet. The muscles in my legs were getting bad and my back hurt. After a week, i notice the change in my legs's muscles and back,and not tripping over my feet anymore. My legs don't feel tired and my back feels so much better. They slightly heavy but that helps. The sole is thick, i don't feel the hard floor,and my feet doesn't get hurt when i hit against the hard plastic. My leg muscles feel stronger. They are $100, but they are worth it, when daily walking on hard floors for 40+++hours and at 7 days. I wear 81/2 in womens but 7 in mens, i put shoes insole, that also help. Easy to clean,has a some arch support but still better to add, cause arches in every one is different. I'm also less tired, my feet doesn't hurt, nor my legs, nor my back i wear them every day for work. I have also notice, process techs also wear these shoes but in steal toe. Mine are not, the enforced toe area keep my toes safe. Doesn't matter of the style, as long your feet, legs and back and body doesn't feel tired because of the hard floor i recommend these shoes. They function excellent, style is just fine

I ordered this for my son who works in a warehouse but doesn't want to wear boots. He has very wide feet but in addition, he needs a wide toe box. A lot of shoes say they have a wide toe box but they do not. He knows the difference and he reported the toe box is wide. He also reports the shoes are comfortable. Heavier than athletic shoes but lighter than composite toe industrial boots. He's wearing them 8 hours plus per day and has been happy with them. They aren't cheap but if you don't want to wear boots in an industrial environment, this is a good way to go.

True to size, comfortable, light shoe, and good quality.

Decent shoe but I found it to be uncomfortable on hard surfaces, returned at 3 days. New Balance used to make very comfortable shoes.
