I've been wearing these shoes since my job required safety shoes. Although I don't work in manufacturing, I have to wear safety shoes every time I'm in the area, so I figured I needed decent looking shoes that were easy to put on. These shoes look great (most people don't believe they're safety shoes until I prove it) and they're very comfortable. So I buy a new pair every year. I don't usually need wide shoes, but I always buy wide shoes. With a toe protection, these shoes are too narrow in the standard width version. And you have to apply them several times to wipe the skin. But once you do, you'll be amazed at the convenience.
