Customer Reviews New Balance Work & Safety Elite Lite

I needed safety work shoes and after already sending two different pairs back I was starting to think I'd never find a comfortable pair to replace my aging safety shoes. With the weather still warm I didn't want a pair of heavy boots so I was looking for a lighter pair of sneaker type shoes. After reading a few positive online reviews I decided to try this pair and I'm glad that I did. Safety shoes always seem to be more narrow than other shoes, even in wide width which was part of the problem. I usually take a wide in Merrill hikers but in safety shoes wide doesn't work for me. These however, are great! Very comfortable right out of the box. I didn't even need a break in period. I put them on and went right to work. No issues at all. They look nice and people even commented that they don't look as big as my previous pair. ( 13 wide usually looks like "clown shoes".) So far these are great and only time will tell how they last. Zappos did a great job shipping them to me and also in taking the one's that didn't fit back. My feet are happy and so am I. Thanks Zappos!

Shoe feels comfortable. Makes working easy, especially because I’m on my feet the entire shift. Love the color way too. Great shoe!

Very well made and strong shoe, and despite being a work safety shoe, it is surprisingly not heavy.

It’s a bigger than usual I use

Lightweight, comfy, stylish. Honestly liked it.

I need size 11

Good for wear house work not for delivery drivers.

Comfortable shoes

The size is fit . Comfortable .

It's good shoes to wear. Highly recommend.

Lightweight shoes. Barely feel the steel toe but toe area is a little tight.

Very stylish and mediocre comfort. the regular width is bit tight on the side and seems that the composite toe is smaller than the shoe size, so always go for the wide version. It needs sometime to break in, but overall, it's good safety shoes.

I need a bigger size maybe 12.5

6th pair of Zappos at work shoes. Favorite ones so far.

the system told me to buy size 12, I normally wear an 11.5, they fit well and are really cool to look at. I haven't worn them to work yet...It's sloppy winter weather in Ohio... will wear my old boots

Great and comfortable
