New technologies, with a familiar fit, set the Quikshift athletic work shoe apart from previous New Balance work footwear offerings. This women's all-black lace-up style has a textile upper with Toe Protect abrasion-mitigating toe bumpers. Debris Free construction mitigates debris from entering the shoe around the laces and tongue. Housed within the metal-free shoe, a composite toe cap meets ASTM F2413 standards for impact and compression and these shoes are electrical hazard resisting. Ideal for indoor environments, this shoe has a rubber outsole that meets or exceeds ASTM F3445 slip standards for work footwear on dry and wet flat surfaces. Comfort features include a REVLite performance foam cushion that is lightweight without sacrificing cushioning and stability and a removable comfort footbed.
