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.

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.

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.

I’m 6’1 tall girl who wears a 11 W in girls but because it’s comp toe i had to get a 13 W. This is the most comfortable work shoe ever i work a 12 hr shift at amazon fulfillment center and this by most the best shoe i done ordered after returning the 6 other pair of different shoes?

I got a half size smaller cause they were out of 9.5 but they are perfect. I will need new insoles cause there’s not much arch support but overall I’m very satisfied!!! Also lighter than I thought they would be!

I wear these at work for my 10 shift and I mostly just stand on my feet in this little cube. The shoes are good and my feet don’t hurt as bad as they did before in regular shoes. Sometimes my heels hurt, but like I said they don’t hurt nearly as bad as before, so they do good. I’m not sure any shoe wouldn’t hurt my feet after standing for 10 hours. The steel toe does make them bulky and I can see why people think they’re heavy. They do have some weight on them which I feel when I walk in them. I’m not sure how I would like them if I had to walk the whole time since they do have weight on them. But overall they are good, I got the extra wide width too because the steel toe takes up room in the toe section, so I’m very happy I got the extra wide width.

I usually wear an 7 and 1/2 in shoes but it wasn't available so I gotten a 7 double-wide and it fits very comfortable. I love the style and it not to heavy. I recommend to others.

These shoes are ginormous. I wear a women's 10. These shoes are a women's 10 medium. They're too short and my big toe touches the very top. Yet, these Ronald McDonald shoes have an extra 2 inches on them. The insoles are comfortable on the feet. Neutral Arch. You can't judge the insole by pressing with your hand. They are super heavy in your hands but not while walking.

I ordered these in extra wide for extra comfort because my right foot feels a bit more wider than my left, but these feel really good and light for a composite shoe.

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.

Today I begin my new job and I will be wearing my new protective shoes. When I opened the box for the first time, I thought they were horrible looking because pink is not my favorite color. When I took them out of the box, I thought they were the heaviest shoes I have ever had. They are. However, after I tried them on, I loved the feel and the support.

I ordered an entire size bigger than normal and they are still very narrow and tight across the width of my toes. I will be returning these for a larger size. Due to the fact I ordered them for work and not fashion. I had to leave work early because my feet were hurting so bad.

I love new balance for fashion and comfortability, as I never knew they made steel toes.

I went to the store and tried on new balance shoes before buying these. These run very large, the picture is them next to a pair of Skechers only a half size size smaller; as you can see these shoes are a full inch longer! They also have no arch support and my feet started hurting after a few minutes. I don't know how I am supposed to work a full shift in these! They are also very big and cloggy.

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
