New Balance Furon v6 2E Wide: Why the Wide Fit Fails to Deliver

The New Balance Furon v6 2E Wide is marketed as a true wide-fitting boot, but firsthand experience reveals a different story. After extensive wear testing and direct comparison with the standard Furon v6 and the previous Furon V5, the wide version feels narrower than expected—even narrower than the standard issue. This review explains the fit issue and warns players who rely on the 2E designation.

Firsthand Experience with the Furon v6 2E Wide

Over the past few months, securing both New Balance wide-fitting boot options—Tekela and Furon—was a challenge. Once a pair of the Furon v6 2E Wide arrived, the initial excitement turned to confusion. The boots simply do not fit wide. In fact, they are slightly narrower than the standard issue Furon v6, and the same holds true when compared to the Furon V5. This opinion is based on direct, personal experience with each version, including wearing both models over several days for an accurate comparison.

Label Discrepancy and Lack of Manufacturer Clarification

The internal label clearly lists the boots as a 2E width. To rule out a mislabeling error, the author contacted New Balance directly, requesting confirmation or any insight into the intended fit. New Balance never followed up with a response. Without official clarification, the only reliable conclusion comes from firsthand testing: the 2E wide version does not deliver the width players expect.
