These are the most comfortable and safest work shoes I have ever worn. Very light, you'll notice a HUGE difference as you step away from standard work boots. I know security standards vary, but they should work for most of your businesses. Some companies require a specific height, like "ankle length," others require laces just enough to stay out of the way, non-slip soles, and of course, a secure toe box. I would highly recommend these boots and will buy another pair when they run out.
