Comfortable and secure for long shifts
Working in food service means I’m on my feet for eight to ten hours at a time, often on floors that are greasy or wet. I’ve been wearing these AVW work shoes for a few weeks now, and they have made a noticeable difference in how my feet feel at the end of the day.What stands out:Reliable Grip: The non-slip rubber patches on the sole are excellent. I feel steady walking through the kitchen and dish pit, even when there’s spilled liquid or oil on the tile. The traction is exactly what I need for a high-paced environment.All-Day Comfort: The combination of the EVA midsole and the memory foam insole provides a lot of cushioning. The added arch support is a nice touch—it helps distribute my weight better so my feet don't feel as fatigued by the end of my shift.Water Resistant but Breathable: I was worried that "water resistant" might mean my feet would get sweaty, but the knitted fabric actually breathes quite well. It manages to deflect splashes and spills while still letting air circulate.Simple, Versatile Look: These don’t look like typical "clunky" work shoes. They have a sleek, athletic profile that looks fine with my uniform or even paired with jeans for running errands after work.The Bottom LineIf you are looking for a solid pair of shoes for a job that requires constant standing, these are a great choice. They are lightweight, supportive, and provide the safety features needed for professional kitchen or medical environments.

Best tennis shoe for me.
This tennis shoe has a high cushioned sole. I had ankle surgery recently and the orthopedic boot that I have to wear is like a platform shoe height. This shoe is almost as high as the boot so it has helped me balance. The sole has a non slip bottom which helps me stand firmly. Even when I finally wear them as a pair they will be comfortable. They only thing I needed to do was take out the laces. It was difficult as the holes are not round but horizontal lines. So I took a sharp pointed scissor and pushed one side into each line and made them rounder. Then I laced them like I wanted. Perfect.

Lightweight, durable sneakers, thick cushions/sole, easy slip-on, fits wide flat feet...COMFY!
I have been wearing these shoes for awhile, and they are comfortable! As with all new shoes, they take a bit of wearing-in to get fit to your foot, and these black sneakers have gotten more comfy as I walk and light jog in dry and wet/rainy weather.I got the 8.5 women's size and they fit great! I have wide and flat feet, and these shoes fit well. I like how easy it is to slip into the sneakers, and really do not have to tie the shoelaces at all. The sole of the shoe is the star, as it's thick and rubberized and provides superior cushion/padding. I can feel the interior padding pattern too through my socks, and it's nice.These come in all black, and with the outer later water resistant, which is nice when I'm wearing them out after it's rained and walking my dog. So far, they've replaced my other branded sneakers; especially great for going outside for a short time but quickly, the soles are also quiet when walking.Lightweight and made of quality materials, these shoes are AWESOME, recommend!

Perfect work shoe!
These came quickly and were exactly as described. They had no odd odor (which I find often happens with shoes) and were of quality material and craftsmanship. They fit true to size and are a true black on black (which is hard to find and often required for jobs). I got these for my daughter for work, she works at a gas station and is on her feet all day and working in the food section where the floor often gets wet and slippery. She has worn these for a week straight at work and reports that they hold up nice, do not slip at all, even on the ice. She said they are the most comfortable work shoe she has. Overall, excellent work shoe, fair price and they look great! 5/5

They are okay-ish
My daughter enjoys wearing them, but I am more particular about shoes. The soles are pretty spongy, more than I think is good for balance. For basic work shoes, I suppose they would do okay, but they do not seem to match their price point as far as quality is concerned. Everything is more expensive however, so that may have a lot to do with it. I would have seen these as 30 to 40 dollar shoes, so maybe it is inflation or tariffs, I don't know.

Very nice work shoes
These shoes are very nice. I walk a lot for my job and I’m outside so waterproof is a must. They are definitely waterproof. I haven’t worn them when it’s raining or snowing though. But the ground has been wet enough for me to notice if they are waterproof or not. They fit perfectly too. I’d say the toe box leans more towards narrow, but the sizing is spot on. They are comfortable as well! Oh and the slip resistant material on the bottom of the shoe really does work. I’ve walked on ice and I didn’t feel like I was going to slip and fall! Definitely a win. I’d buy these again!

Lightweight, good traction, and decent support. The sole is stiffer than expected though.
I needed some work shoes that are comfortable enough for me to stand in all day and have usually just purchased tennis shoes or Skechers ballet flats for more professional settings. These shoes are definitely not tennis shoes, as their soles are harder than expected, but still they are flexible enough to accommodate your foot’s movements while walking. I like that they are lightweight, have good traction, and that they give me good stability while walking but it may take some time to get used to the stiffer, harder feel. On a side note, I found the shoe laces particularly difficult to remove, especially from the first holes closest to the ankles, the holes just seemed too small, but I eventually got them out. Overall, these are decent shoes for work, especially for the price. I’m just used to softer shoes so that is my personal preference.
