Good investment
Very comfortable shoes, especially if you need to be on your feet for extended periods. I've been wearing them 3 days a week for the past two months, 6 or more hours at a time, in a restaurant kitchen, and at the end of the day, my feet are glad I bought them. They are well made, inside and out (no fraying yet), slip resistant (I've walked through a few spills without sliding), and I expect they'll last for awhile. The only reason I'm not giving them 5 stars is because the size options are a little odd. I bought two pairs around my usual size (+/- half size), and neither fit too well. I went with the larger pair and have gotten used to the loose feeling, but wish they were a little more snug. But hey, at least I won't have any problem if I need to take them off in a hurry.
