I wear these 5 days a week 8 hours a day. My feet do not hurt at the end of the day. Would buy again.
These are the first shoes in a long time I didn't have to "break in". They were comfortable right out of the box. 8 hour shifts walking from one end of a warehouse to another and my feet don't hurt at the end of the night. They have removable insoles so if you wanted an orthotic in, great! I usually wear 8½ wide so that's what I ordered and they fit perfectly. I have enough room in the toe box that none of my toes are rubbing the composite toe cap. Definitely recommend!
I ordered a half size bigger, but I didn’t order wider. Even with the half size bigger my toe was right on the edge. Also, I have very narrow feet, and these are very narrow shoes. The insoles are too thin and offered no support so I will exchange these for a 9 1/2 wide, which hopefully will give me room for an insole. Even without having one, they’re way too narrow for an average foot.
These shoes are like another pair of Reebok steel toes I had. The right shoe feels weird and has some discomfort. I’ll probably steer away from Reebok in the future.
Great buy! I work ten hours a night on concrete floors! Love these work shoes, since they don’t hurt my feet or leave hard calluses on my feet! Light weight too!
