When I first got my Skechers out of the box, the horribly strong new rubber smell was nauseating. Moreover, the first day I wore them to work they made my feet burn. I thought I had made a mistake and was going to send them back. BUT, I am glad I gave them another chance! I set them aside a couple of days and noticed the rubber smell had dissipated quite a bit. I tried them once more and they felt great! I wear them every workday now and I am really pleased. They fit great and have great support. They are my favorite pair of shoes now. I suspect I was just sensitive to the rubber adhesive, and now they have “seasoned” a bit. I plan to get another pair. I hope Skechers makes the same shoe minus the steel toe, as I need to pass through a metal detector every day.

Work shoes that truly work! I'm constantly searching for well-made, comfortable, and durable work shoes for my hard-to-fit husband, size 14EEEE. Years of working on his feet in under-supportive footwear have increased this difficulty, resulting in frequent complaints of foot and/or knee pain. Consequently, we are thrilled to have discovered the 'Skechers Work Soft Stride'. The first indication that we'd found a solid product was the internal support, which conformed to his feet so well that it negated his need to use his orthotics. After a week of wearing his new shoes, he noticed that his foot and knee pain had disappeared. As a test, he wore a previous brand to work for one day, and the discomfort instantly returned. Clearly, the uniform support of the Sketchers shoe made all the difference. I would highly recommend this shoe to anyone, for work or relaxation.

Nice shoe, (a little hot, traction looks week) I really like this shoe. I have worn timberlands in the past (really good shoe) and also the Harley tennis shoe ( which was great) I didn't like the extreme heat inside the shoe. I almost turned them back in because of this. I did find out that keeping the laces loose helps them to ventilate. The traction looks pretty week on the bottom, but they seem o.k. so far. I have worn them to work on aircraft in a hanger and I felt they were a little hot. I have also worn them on a new house construction site in the winter time and thought they were great. I would say it is a pretty good construction shoe for the winter time.

These shoes are the best! I bought these shoes for my husband, for work, Grocery Manager. He's on his feet all day and is prone to dropping heavy things on his feet. He says they get a bit uncomfortable in the toes if he's wearing them at work for more than 10 hours, but otherwise, he loves them! The steel in the toe area has already saved him a couple times from broken toes! He also likes the way they look. Definitely will buy again if/when he needs a new pair.

In short the shoes I ordered came to me in record time. I'm pleased to be able to buy online and have them here the next day if not the 2nd day after being ordered. These shoes are much more comfortable than the previous shoes I ordered. They were the same kind, cost more, and were heavier in nature on my feet. These shoes are much lighter on my feet causing less fatigue being on my feet for 10+ hours on the job.

Worth your money - I really enjoy these shoes. A little time to break them in but after that they are really comfortable, and the steel toe is great and saved me some pain today when I dropped a big piece of steel on my foot in my welding class. And the shipping is great I ordered them at night and the next day when I got back from class they had arrived.

Best work shoes for my job - I work at a large resort as a bicycle mechanic and rental attendant. I need a slip resistant steel toe shoe that looks good. This shoe fits the bill and beyond. The fit was perfect for my feet to the point I never think about them. I never got that new shoe itch that many other shoes cause no matter the price point.

Soft Stride 4 E width - I have not worn steel toes in many years. I wear NB 600 series 4 E width and was concerned that I would not find a comfortable wide shoe with a good arch support. I work 9 hour days and forget I am wearing a steel toe shoe. They are listed as 24 oz but I do not notice the weight. These are great.

My husband LOVES these shoes! My spouse was looking for a pair of new tennis shoes to wear around when he wasn't at work. He found these and they fit his style, but he didn't pay attention to the fact that they were steel-toed. He loves them because they are comfortable and obviously durable. Now, when our toddler steps on his toes, he doesn't feel a thing.

Great work shoes - I bought these shoes to wear at work. I deliver to restaurants all day and the kitchen floors can be slippery. With these shoes I never have a problem on the greasy floors. They are fairly light weight for steel toes also. I would highly suggest these shoes for someone who works on their feet all day.

Most uncomfortable shoe on the Planet - These shoes made my feet hurt. I tried to give them a chance, but after a solid week of pain, in the trash can they went. I need a wide shoe, these are wide, but no, I mean no arch support. My advice, look for something else.
