I have had a pair of these shoes for over 3 years. They are very comfortable and durable. I do a lot of volunteer work at a prison near where we live, and when it rains the concrete walkways get wet and slippery like ice. The non-slip soles are what first drew my attention to the shoe and they work very well. I used to skate there like ice, but that's not the case with these shoes. They are starting to wear and it's time to buy new shoes so I ordered the same shoes again. I definitely recommend this shoe for such situations.
