Very comfortable! Slightly larger sizes, more like “step” sizes
First thing first: the shoe runs slightly large— 10 is more like 10.25, 10.5 is actually more like 10.75, etc. Great choice for a bartender or pharmacist or something with lots of standing but not a ton of flying around, good choice for server or nurse. Probably way too hot inside for comfort as a chef, surgery tech, or BOH though. There are no rivets or gussets for ventilation, as these shoes are intended to resist EXTERNAL moisture— as such, it’s important to air these shoes out specifically after a shift. These shoes are as advertised: suede-like material, industry conforming non-slip rubberized soles (of surprisingly high quality btw— these are at least comparable in stickability to Sketchers Work and probably better than most Shoes for Crews soles), durable, and liquid-resistant. The provided insoles ship very nice but compress quickly, making sharp turns less predictable and making the shoes less comfortable for serving as you begin to notice the increased room available in the toebox and around the ankle. If you get your own thicker insoles however, the shoes become just as good as any brand name (it’s almost like they were designed to accept slightly larger aftermarket insoles, which is a good sign the manufacturer expects these shoes to last). Overall, a really nice clog-like loafer-hybrid monster shoe that is stylish enough for banquets but unpretentious enough for those pouring Phillips all over the rail and floor at a townie bar. Good value for the money, these appear to be just a Chinese name brand shoe that they de-brand and sell as a generic Amazon shoe to Americans, and hey I’ll take it, these are way higher quality than comparable “Werstern Label” shoes
