Comfortable enough to wear. I would recommend adding a nice insole as the sole that comes with the shoe is a bit flimsy. About Sketcher's credit: These are $37 worth of shoes. I wouldn't expect a high end insole to be placed in a shoe at this price point. The grip of the shoe is excellent. I work as an auto mechanic for my own pleasure, so the presence of liquids on the floor is a common thing. Watch your money, these shoes are worth it.
