Once my feet wore into the memory foam they felt perfect. I walk 5-10 miles a day and work full time in top of that. The only thing that would make them better would be a cushion for the heel/ back of ankle area. ( Still haven't worn them out). The slip resistance is low.
Very comfy, non slip the soles wear out after a few months but they look really good and are so comfy, worth it if ur on ur feet all day
Fits a little small, but feels great. Light and comfortable.
HORRIBLE! I work in a restaurant kitchen as a chef and these shoes fell apart after 2 weeks. The soles started coming off and were no good.
The anti-slip capabilities of these shoes is so bad that I forgot I wasn't wearing my completely slick Vans halfway through my restaurant shift tonight. They literally are on par with most skate shoes, which is to say, they should not be called anti-slip. I also feel like the sole is considerably larger than how it looks in the pictures, so it actually looks kind of goofy, like you are wearing a lifted shoe. Not going to complain too much, as it probably means they will at least last for a decent bit of time, and at $27, that's not one thing I was betting on. The verdict on that will have to wait a few months though. Not upset by the purchase. My previous shoes were also not anti-slip, and I just slid around the restaurant and survived, but these are billed as anti-slip, while those were not. Next time I'll go slightly upmarket, I guess. In the meantime, I probably just bought myself 6 months for $27, which is as cheap as I've ever seen.UPDATE: Nearly 6 months later and they are about done. I changed my score from 2 to 3 stars because of how well they have lasted and how the anti-slip ability actually kind of got better as the shoes broke in. They never became great anti-slip shoes, but they improved enough that I didn't slide all over the kitchen while trying to do chores. In addition to that, the reason they have actually reached the point of needing to be replaced is because the memory foam support has entirely given out. There is still more than enough sole to keep me going for another month or two, but every time I take a step on a surface that is not entirely flat, I can feel the shoe collapse beneath me like someone is depressing a button. It's a weird feeling, actually. They have also completely lost any waterproofing ability they once had. At first, they were decent, and they made it through Winter where I live without too much trouble, but as we move into the rainier months, they are definitely done. Too many holes have opened on the bottom and along where the sole and side are sewn together. Overall, these shoes were okay. My next pair of work shoes will not be these though.
Nice shoe great fit and price!
Slip resistance doesn’t work well
Just what I was wanting
