User Reviews
Perfect fit. I got a full size (not a 1/2 size) bigger than I normally wear, plus I needed wide. Liked it so much, I bought a second pair!
Very handsome pair of shoes, nice material, very well made, the best looking pair of Nautilus I've own... and I've been using this brand for my work shoes since more than 8 years.BUT, they are a whole size to short... I'm very disappointed... I'm going to have to return them, and I already thru away the box :(
perfect for my feet during working standing all day.
very tight on the toe side. can't wear it to even begin to review it.my size is 48-49, this shoe had a size of 48 but it feels very smallI suggest you always opt for a larger size.I also bought the Timberland shoe, it fits waay better than this shoe.The only thing good with this shoe is the quality and the price.
I liked my old Nautilus so much I had bought 3 so far. This was my 4th and I went for a more formal (meeting) style.Unfortunately these are disappointing. Like the other ones, they aren't very durable. The last pairs lasted less than a year and these won't last beyond that. Already cracking severely at the bends.The worst part is they slip on wet and oily conditions. This is almost as important as being steel toe. In my entire career I may have slipped 3 times. Since wearing these I have slipped more than 3 times and have to walk around.The last thing I'll say is these were slightly tighter and breaking them in is taking very long.I would not recommend but they are 3 stars because they are still better than other brands (doc marten, wolverine).
These shoes literally started falling apart after two days of light yard work.
had for about a month now would recommend these to anyone needing steel toe in a dress shoe
About as good as can be expected from a cheap work shoe. They were comfortable for about 5 months and kind of went flat. I wore them another 5 months after that but they're completely falling apart now after 10 months.
