This is my first pair of New Balance safety shoes. Bought a pair of these 1 year ago. Have tried to wear them on and off  with no success.  I have worn them again the last 3 days and  I can barely walk now from the pain. Entirely too narrow and I bought  4 E and even bumped up my normal size of 11 to 11 1/2. Been a NB wearer for  decades as my out of work shoes and these are by far the worse I have ever had. Looks like I'll be looking elsewhere for a pair of safety toe shoes.
