"This is the 2nd pair of these shoes that my husband has purchased for his work. He is on his feet for 10-plus hour shifts so he needs support, comfort and the non-slip/skid soles. Though the shoes are slightly snug on the width they do only take a short time to "break-in" and feel extremely comfortable. He is extremely happy with this shoe and certainly hope that they never change it too drastically."
Pros: Good traction, Cushioning, Durable
Yes, I recommend this product.

"I was very glad to finally find a shoe that was a 6E. I have odd feet, but have not been able to find Extra Wide shoes elsewhere. They were long for the width I needed, but would recommend them to others that just need extra wide shoes."
Yes, I recommend this product.

"Excellent fit and great feel right out of the box. Virtually no break in needed. Very easy to clean exterior surface. Only negatives are they don't breath good and, the sole is hard as a rock. My Corvette has metal clutch and brake pedals. The sole sips badly on them. This includes any metal cat walk too. Wet surfaces are tricky to navigate."
Pros: Lightweight, Cushioning, Easy to Clean, look good
Cons: Poor Traction, Not Breathable
Yes, I recommend this product.
