This is my husband's third pair of New Balance shoes.

The toe box on this pair (we got the white ones with the black toe cap) is very
nice and deep. I didn't want to leave a review until they had been worn for a while.

My husband is on his feet all day long at work, and walks a great distance.
Comfortable shoes are a must, and he doesn't need safety toe shoes.
The report is that these are very comfortable and provide plenty of support for
his feet and ankles during the day.

That is the good news. The bad news, is that despite looking like they would be very
sure-footed, the bottoms provide almost no help on non-carpeted floors. He is in and out
of several environments all day long. He said that he has to really watch his step when
going in to a kitchen or laundry area (he does maintenance), because these shoes are
very SLICK. Yep - NB did a great looking shoe, then forgot about making the sole
safe to walk on! While not everyone is doing his type of work, I would venture to say that
everyone indeed is on multiple surfaces every day, possibly within their own home.
Why would NB not make sure the bottoms had a safer,better gripping ability? Instead, they
slide.

So, if you are never on linoleum or tiles, these are five-star.
However, if you are normal and plan to walk on a variety of flooring surfaces, you might
do better with another pair with a better sole structure.
These are lacking.
