Great value, highly versatile, non-slip shoes!
I love these shoes. I've been buying these for years and I seem to get about 12 to 13 months out of a pair wearing them quite literally everyday. They are comfortable, they come in the extra wide size I need, they have those great non-slip soles that protect me from falls when walking across wet tile floors, they are a nice, "conservative", all-black design that I can get away with wearing at just about any occasion from casual to semi-formal, and it is hard to beat the value I get out of them.

a good pair of shoes
I see people who complain about how they last or wear, I have mine 16 months and they are OK. A little bit of wear but I work for FedEx Ground 📦 🤪I have these for 2 years and 2 months, they look better than the one with straps instead of laces. The front of the sole is coming apart. I don't see any issue in functionality in either of them. 🤔 They're work shoes not dress shoes. 🤪 🙃I had to come back to edit my review. 😁I like how they feel.With my last pair of shoes, I found that my toes were hurting me at the end of the day.I might have been wearing the wrong size.I got a half size bigger and they fit perfectly. 😁

Terrible shoe
I do not wear these shoes much as I save them as good casual shoes. Pictures of shoes shows the side just coming apart and for no reason. These are a terribly made shoes. Save your money, do not recomend.

Good for 90 days
For the $40 I spent on these shoes I had low expectations. As a chef in a very busy multi story kitchen, I put my shoes through hell. Between wet and dry conditions and running up and down stairs all day, most shoes I’ve owned don’t make it 6 months. These lasted almost exactly 3. At this point the soles are starting to come away and the sides are splitting where the sole attaches to the shoe. I have accepted that I’ll have to shell out $40 every 3 months to replace my kitchen shoes as I have yet to find a pair at this price that lasts much longer.The good in this is that the shoes are very comfortable, fit to size, and provide a modicum of non-slip protection. I’m buying another pair to see if they fare better than the first, but from what people are saying here 3 months seems to be the lifespan of this shoe in a kitchen environment generally. I’d love it if the company could address the wear issues, as the shoe shows real potential otherwise. If they were more durable I would raise my rating to a 4.

Cantilever soles fix knees on flat feet. For old men.
This shoe makes me feel good. It's got memory foam insoles and cantilever soles. Basically the sole is good enough rubber that it feels good when standing. I wear steel toe on the job. These are for church. These are cheap. I expect them to wear out and I will buy More. These feel immediately good. They are not as high quality as the New balance cantilever soles shoes that cost twice as much. These seem to be man-made materials and don't breathe great. I plan to wear these all winter to and from work.I purchased a few pairs of these and the new balance. I purchased a couple of models of both brands because my son's uncle took him to the Nike outlet.First outing since coronavirus. I tried on a pair of Nike shoes and it was like British english tower of London torture device. I don't know how young you have to be to wear those things. Granted they were outlet priced at a bunch more money than these. The new balance store had a big line. I wore Avia basketball shoes in the late 80s. I have flat feet. Those were the best feeling shoes I ever had. Couldn't find them since the 90s. Then I wore whatever as I was very fit. Whenever I got older and out of shape I found out about cantilever soles at a professional fitting. Paid over a hundred bucks for the next best pair of shoes new balance 622. Which of course new balance discontinued. I limped along ok. I brought some 8 inch ankle brace rebook steel toe boots that felt ok. But whenever they wore out my whole body hurts. I purchased new rebok boots. Rubber steel toe boots. Durango boots, that got stolen last week. And I remembered cantilever soles. I intended to purchase new balance. I found these. A quarter or less the price. My knees, my back, and my head all felt immediately salved. Like I tried a bunch of other shoes. The memory foam insoles are supposed to wear out fast. These are good for walking. Not really a runner anymore but I don't think these are for that. There is a way to make arch support out of glycerin and silicone caulk I intended to try. But insoles alone won't do what these shoes do. The soles are wear the help is. If you're flat footed and your knee normally pronates or supponates these will be like having an attractive model to massage your knees. If you're a youngling, healthy as a horse and your arches are perfect then get cute shoes. This is old man gold here. Dammit I'm probably going to join the AARP with these shoes.If you're the ambitious type that walks ten miles a day, your shoes probably ought to be changed every month anyway. I don't expect these would look much worse than better more expensive shoes, but you'd probably need replacement insoles and because they don't breathe you'd need a boot drier to keep them from building odor. A boot drier makes up for a lot of issues.I love these shoes.

Comfy Shoe!
I am very picky when it comes to shoes. I have a very wide foot and always prefer to look, feel and try them on. I also needed new shoes for work and thought I would give these a try. I have to say that I am very pleased with how the shoe fits and is very comfortable. I am on my feet all day and comfort is the most important thing for me. If anyone is on the fence about this shoe, they really should give it a try. I will more than likely be purchasing more in both the black and white. As for the slip resistant sole, for the most part it is...just be careful when you are in a wet area and then walk out onto a dry area. I have noticed they will slip slightly. One last thing...the price you pay for this I think is well worth the money compared to other high end shoes out there!
