I bought these for my fiancé who is a mechanic and is on his feet 24/7. He wore them for several hours each day to break them in, but when they were finished he said they were the best shoes he'd ever owned. I really liked them and he said they were better than his steel toe work boots. UPDATE: The shoes literally fell apart after only 4 months. Not worth the $90 they cost. I've had shows from Walmart that have lasted me a lot longer than these shoes.
