Skechers Work Men's Soft Stride Grinnel Athletic Composite Toe Safety Shoes

Was skeptical about buying shoes online. I bought this shoe specifically for work. Have bought many pairs of other skechers over the past few years in person and have never had to worry about the width before, so I gave it a shot with the pandemic going on. Extra wide doesn't seem to cut it for this particular shoe. Wore them for a couple hours to break em in before I tried em for work. Seemed a little snug then. Made it through day one of work without too much discomfort, but decided after day 2 that my feet were being too compressed on the sides and should discontinue wearing if I want to be able to be on my feet afterwards. Glad I kept my old pair just in case. Guess I can use them for doing yard work or things I won't be on my feet for extended periods of time. I have 4 different styles of skechers right now, both work and recreational. These are the only skechers that haven't felt like they were meant for my feet. I'll have to buy a different style for work soon as I've had my other pair for about a year now and are falling apart. Skechers will still be my first choice.

Walking over 5 miles per shift, these are not comfortable at all. Feet hurt so bad by the third shift I couldn't wear them anymore. I know there is usually a breaking in period, but it feels like walking barefoot on concrete with 10 lb ankle weights on.

Cushioning isn't what I like, because it doesn't go to the edges of the sole and though it has a pillow type feel at first I would prefer the memory foam that is the entire sole not just the center. I almost didn't buy the shoe because of the insole. But I like the sketchers brand for the arch support I get from them

Most comfortable steeled toed shoes I have bought in 32 years. Wear at work, home and will wear as casual. Walk on concrete doing 12 hour shifts 5-6 days a week. The sole begins to pull away from the shoe in more than year of continuous use. I consider that a very good shoe life in the environment I work in. Price is great!!! Bought 3 pair of steel toed shoes for this coming year. The soles of the shoes should last longer as I can rotate thru the 3 pair.

I bought two pair to alternate between them so the memory foam lasts longer. These are the most comfortable shoes I have ever worn. That says alot since I'm pushing 40. The composite toes are as strong if not stronger then steel toes and I don't have the inconvenience of setting off the metal detector at work. Thanks.
