User Reviews
I have never been disappointed in this brand ever. These are still the most comfortable work shoes to me. They aren't extremely light or heavy. Let's just day a happy medium. I am a US 7.5 and always order a sz 8 w when available because I like the room.
I use these shoes at work. They are not heavy like other safety shoes I had before. They fit comfortably.
They are nice but I need the extra width of an EE. I ordered XW and W was delivered. May send back if they have an extra wide width...
I received these and they were so narrow. Anyone who wears steel toes knows that if you are going to purchase them you need a little room for your toes or you going to be hurting your whole shift.
best work shoe i have ever had only issue is the toe feels weird compared to others i have had
I wear an 8.5 wide. Way too tight and short. The only great thing is the insole. It costs about $30 in a retail store. I put them in my old steel toes and they were amazing. Not a fan of this work shoe, but a total fan of the insoles.
