User Reviews
These fit my wide feet with extra room and are squishy. They feel better on my feet than other brands that were twice the price. Very happy with purchase!
I work in an office at an animal shelter so sometimes I have to walk through questionable things on uneven surfaces. I needed new shoes but had very limited funds. These shoes have a price tag of $79.99 but were on sale for $23.61.When I put on the right shoe my big toe didn't fit right - it felt like how it does when you put on the opposite shoe but I know it wasn't. I do not have deformed feet or any growths on my right foot and the left fit fine. It does run a bit big, roughly half a size too big. I have worn these shoes 3 days and today was super busy and active, my big toes really ache. For whatever reason the design of the shoe makes me put more weight on my big toes.Pros:The priceVery high quality sturdy shoePassable for work or outside of workConsUncomfortableSortof looks like Herman monster shoesI will try tying these tighter and maybe find some thicker socks. Unfortunately, when I get more money I will have to get a different pair of work shoes. Very sturdy and great sale price but due to comfort, I would not recommend these.
Really tough shoes that don't look too much like clod-stompers: they blend into non-work zones pretty well, and wear much more comfortably than I expected from a shoe this solid. I bought my regular size, and they're a half size or so too big. But, I got these on sale and now they're not, so they will be worn with thick socks, and laced one eyelet short of all the way up. I'm satisfied with this purchase.
