Customer reviews for Women's Softie Med/Wide

Women's Softie Med/Wide

It may be called the Softie, but this Skechers Work shoe is a toughie. Sure, the midsole is super cushioned and absorbs shock like nobody’s business--but its work-worthy features will keep you safe while on the job.

  • Smooth leather upper
  • Removable PU footbed, breathable lining, lightweight midsole
  • Mark II ASTM-tested slip-resistant, oil-resistant, high-abrasion rubber outsole meets Mark II ASTM F1677-tested slip-resistant rating
  • Available in medium and wide width sizes

    many years. The support in these products is very good and
    I can stand or walk with them for hours. Also, I love the fact that
    Sketchers brand sneekers come in black - not just white!

    "Shoe is heavy. I expected a more comfortable shoe. I was expecting a shoe where my feet weren't aching or hurting at the end of a day on a commercial concrete kitchen floor. I was disappointed. Still looking for a good, comfortable, cushy shoe that won't make my feet and calves ache at the end of a 8 1/2 hr. shift day!"
    Pros: Good traction
    Cons: Not Supportive Enough, not enough cushioning, heavy
    No, I do not recommend this product.

    "This is a very comfortable, effective work shoe. I wear them 7 days per week, and I am on my feet all the time. Traction is good unless snow gets packed in the soles. Skechers does make work shoes that are lighter in weight, but you won't notice that when wearing this particular shoe. I do add an additional arch support as well. I'm not sure if it is needed or not...but I do add one."
    Pros: Shock absorbing, Durable
    Yes, I recommend this product.

    "I had to get non-slip black shoes for culinary school. These shoes are fabulous for people who run around a kitchen/restaurant all day. They truly are non-slip because at school we'd step in batter, oils, soapy dish water, and I never slipped once. Also, they are wide so they don't pinch your feet anywhere and they are super comfy. I highly recommend them for cooks, servers, or anyone who spends hours on their feet at work!"

    Cons: no cons!
