The New Balance 626v2 is a leather work shoe built for men who need slip resistance and serious cushioning on hard floors. It pairs an ABZORB foam midsole with an injection-molded EVA footbed and an internal shank for stability, and the outsole is tested to ASTM F 2913-11 for slip resistance. Its standout trait is width: it runs up to EEEEEE, which few work shoes offer. Owners rate it well for all-day comfort and grip, though some find it heavy and warm over long shifts.

Owners rate the 626v2 highly, mostly for comfort in wide sizes and reliable grip on wet or oily floors. Complaints center on warmth and weight during long shifts.
The New Balance 626v2 is a men's industrial work shoe with a slip-resistant, non-marking outsole. A new lug pattern gives traction on slick surfaces. The leather upper is lined with a seamless Phantom Liner, which keeps weight down and improves fit and comfort.
ABZORB cushioning in the midfoot absorbs shock. The footbed is EVA foam, and the injection-molded EVA foam gives firm yet flexible cushioning. An internal shank adds stability. The shoe is offered in wide and extra-wide widths.
