Not Memory Foam is the BEST
Women's work shoes are very hard to find. This is the exact pair I bought when I first started working at my current job, about 3 years ago. They lasted about a year - which, considering I'm on my feet 50 hours a week, was incredibly impressive - but when I went to buy them again from where I got them originally (Sears, I believe) I found that they didn't make them anymore. They made an almost identical version, only the new ones had memory foam soles. I bought a pair of those to replace my originals, but found that I only got a few weeks out of them before the memory foam contoured to my foot in such a way that it didn't actually provide padding anymore. I went on a quest (both online and out in the world) to find a pair to match my originals, or just a good quality women's work shoe that wasn't memory foam and didn't have steel toes, and found that this combination was almost impossible to come by. Eventually I found these here, triple checked that they weren't memory foam, and ordered with my fingers crossed. I was elated when they showed up and were exactly what I wanted. I've had them about 4 and a half months now and they're still going strong - again, I abuse the crap out of them, so 4 and a half months is actually pretty impressive on it's own. I'm hoping to get at least a full year out of them, though they're already money well spent for the lack of foot and back pain, and will 100% order them again when the time comes. I can only hope that these don't vanish as well before then. Maybe I'll even buy a backup pair now, just in case. These are truly a great investment for any woman who has to wear slip-resistant shoes at work and doesn't want steel-toes or memory foam. In fact, if you're looking at these and currently have memory foam, I'd highly recommend giving these a chance. Memory foam is sorely overrated, especially when you're on your feet all day long.
