Take Care Of Them - Ok, I've bought 4 pairs of these in the last 2 years. They are by far the best shoe I've ever owned. A great mixture of simple style, and great features. These things won't slip for anything on wet floor. be it water, grease, or oil, they really help keep you on your feet (I work in a Deli, I experience all three of those on my floors on a regular basis). There is really only one thing that bugs me about these. If you kneel alot, and bend your foot at the toe (like stocking shelves ect.), the stiches in the leather around the steel toe will give in very quickly. Its not the thread itself that breaks, its the leather which the thread goes through. But, if you just use leather treatment stuff from the local shoe store once a month, they will last much longer. I typically get 6-8 months of hard wear and tear on these before I have to replace them. Oh yeah, they are extremely comfortable...

Excellent Company For Purchasing Items. I recently ordered a pair of steel toed shoes, which the first ones were too small. I called Zappos and asked if I could return them for an exchange of a bigger pair. The person I spoke with was very courteous and helpful. He put another order in and sent it out that day, and told me as soon as I could get to the post office I could just return the other pair. I didn't have to wait for the first ones to get back to them before they would ship my new ones. I really like the way they do their orders. I would recommend Zappos to everyone. Thank you all for your help on my order. I will use Zappos again in the future.

Great Work Shoes - I am a courier and these shoes work out great for me. I do a lot of walking, lifting and pushing during a normal day. In my old shoes it seemed like my feet would feel worn down by the end of the day. But these shoes keep me going. I also don't have to worry about my toes due to the steel toe. It has been many of times that handles on boxes of paper (50LBS) have snapped and landed on my foot. All in all this is a great shoe and I plan to buy another pair when I wear these out.

A good option for a larger foot - I bought these for my husband in a 14 wide. He has always had a problem finding steel toes that work for him at all, and these seem to be better than most. He says the toe box leaves room for him to move and the steel toe doesn't rub as much as others (no such thing as a steel toe that doesn't rub some). The width is good. The depth could be better, as his inserts don't work, but there is so much support he does ok a couple days a week wearing these.

My husband loves them!!! My husband found these shoes listed on the Zappos web site and said "Those are the shoes I want!" We got them very fast and in perfect condition. They fit great he has noting but good things to say about this shoe. He is on his feet all day and has said that the comfort level never changes, he plans to buy the same pair of shoes when needed. They are steel toe shoes and we all know hyow that could be, but he says that you could never tell the difference.

Nice shoe - I work on concrete floors 10 hours a day. These shoes are true to size, I like the roomy toe box the most. I prefer low cut shoes for work and light weight as possible. I move around a lot at work and these shoes have been a pleasant, comfortable surprise. I would buy them again. Zappos is a good web company to do business and I prefer them to any other company I've tried. These shoes are a good value, are comfortable and I like the style.

I bought these work boots for my husband. He says they are very comfortable and are a nice change from a heavy work boot, especially in the summer. I would definitely buy these again for him. And again, Zappos is great with customer service. Whenever I am in need of anything, I always check Zappos first. They are definitely a first rate company! Thanks Zappos for such great service!

Another great shoe! I love these shoes. They feel great on your feet, like you could walk for hours. But the thing with these shoes is that they needed a couple of days of a breaking in period due to the steel toe. They need to get the creases in the leather your feet make then they feel like home. Would make a great hiking and biking shoe.

Skechers Work Iron Energy - These shoes are great. They fit almost like Skechers Energy Shoes. I have flat, wide feet. I have to do a lot of walking on concrete and climb over large machinery. Right out of the box and 10hrs at work and my feet still feel good. I will buy again.

After surgery on my right foot (rods @ screws included), I was very nervous about returning to work after eight weeks off. My job requires in and out of vehicle 70 to 80 times a day. I truly do know what a good pair of shoes mean after wearing these shoes.

Disappointed and surprised about it - I bought these work shoes for my husband and he was satisfied with the fit and comfort. He wanted to use these as spring/summer shoes, so he waited until the wet weather stopped to wear them. After a week of him actually wearing them, he complained that the shoes already had rips in the toe and that they won't last very long as part of his job is to crawl in small places. That happened with his other shoes, but on average, it took about a year. I thought because these shoes were steel toed that they would actually be a heavy duty shoe and last awhile. Apparently not. So now, instead of these shoes lasting for a year like all his other ones, they will last only a very short time. To try and preserve them, he is already wearing them only half the time and wearing his worn out shoes the other half of the time. I am disappointed with Skechers.

Fell apart - Very disappointed with this shoe. The material around the steel toe opened after a few uses. The steel fell out the front on one shoe and tore through the inside and was chaffing my big toe on the other shoe. This was a comfortable shoe and was very happy the first week. I really wish they didn't fall apart. I work in the bindery of a magazine printing facility. Concrete floors, chemicals, wood skids, etc.

Most uncomfortable shoes ever - If I could I would return them. I tried them on in the house and they felt great. I wore them at work for 3 days and I could not stand or walk later on during those days. I haven’t worn them since, big waste of money.
