Composite toe too narrow
352777
The shoe was wide enough everywhere except the composite toe.  The tip of my pinky toe rubbed against the edge of the composite toe.  This has been a problem with a couple of brands of athletic safety shoes I have tried.  They don't seem to get the concept that a wide shoe should include the safety toe.  Will return the shoes.

Asics have made the toe box too narrow for my foot. The GT 2000 - 2s were perfect, the GT 2000 -3s were already just too narrow so I had to get a 2e version and these GT 2000 4s are even narrower again. I don't get it Asics, are you trying to make the shoes 2 dimensional?

These are the newer version of the shoes I already have, so I was very excited for them.  They are too narrow in the toes and rub on my big toe, so I had to return them.

Second attempt to replace my worn out pair and these are also almost too narrow in the toes. But I desperately want a new pair of Sketchers so I've got them around a shoe stretcher.

Great shoes with style and comfort, except toe area is too narrow for my foot. I thought the length was the problem on the size 39 and ordered a size 40. Those were decidedly too long and only marginally better (wider, in my case) in the toe. The arch/midfoot part of the shoe is not narrow at all. So these shoes just don't fit me and both pairs are going back. Note that this 'lead' color is a warm silver, not too shiny. Would have been a great multi-season neutral...

these shoe are great looking but the "toe box" is really small and narrow.  Not a good fit if your feet are even a little bit wide or you have a slight bunion.  Had to return.

I had really high hopes for these shoes but the toe area is just too narrow for my feet

I like the look of this shoe. I usually buy Brooks Ravenna, because of the wide toe box. But this shoe has a narrow toe  box. I must return it. Too narrow of a toe with continued jumping makes for bad painful feet. Must take extra care of feet if you want to continue to excercise.... or walk ... or stand when Im 80

Very cute, but way too narrow in the foot.  The calf was a suitable fit but I could not wear these for longer than a minute because they were crushing the bones in my feet inward.  Normally I do not have a problem with shoe width.  This was too small in the bones on the outside at the widest part of the foot, below the big toe and the pinky toe.  I gave these to a friend and she seemed to like them, I guess her foot is narrower.

The toe box is very narrow. I liked the look of the shoe but unfortunately I had to return them.

Love the fresh foam idea but these are too narrow in the toe area even with getting a 2E width. Also with a 14 2E in this shoe it was still a tight width. Almost need a 15 to fit into a 14 2E.

 I can wear a 990 D no problem. Although, I reviewed the new 1080 Fresh foam at New Balance site and it has a wider toe area . I just will go local storeto see if I can find which fresh foam model fits best. I wanted something different from the 990 that is lighter and cool in design.

Nice shoe, exactly as pictured, although too narrow in the toe area. Not a good fit for me.

I liked the look and the quality of the shoe which I purchased as a gift for mother.  I ordered her a 9.5  c/d but they were too narrow for her feet and I had to return them.  This was here normal size and with the adjustable strap on the top by the toes,  assumed they would work but that is the part of the shoe that was too narrow.

Toe was too narrow for my liking. Would be great if toe was wider.

I am a size 9.5, men's, USA, but the toe area is too narrow.  It will hurt wearing them after a while if you need more toe area width.  Nice styling though. Wish I knew this before purchasing.

I ordered a eee and got a reg wide, the composite/steel toe must be a standard size and doesn't match larger widths. No breaking in these, worst most uncomfortable boot ever. Might have been wearable if the hard toe matched the larger width.

Cool looking and somewhat comfortable.  Was looking for a composite toe shoe that doesn't feel like a composite toe, this was not it..
