Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Let me preface this by saying that I work in a warehouse for 10-12 hours a day, 5 days a week, and probably walk about 10 miles per day on concrete. Overall, this is a fantastic shoe. I have flat feet and these really help to lessen the pain in my arches. It's a very hard shoe, with a very sturdy back of heel support, as well as covering a big area with the steel toe. I've already had a pallet jack run into the back of my foot, and the shoe was strong enough that I didn't even feel it. The biggest issue with these was the laces that they come with. They come loose very easily and I found myself having to retighten them at least once per hour. I don't know who tested these, but they clearly didn't walk in them for more than an hour. I cut those laces off and put some normal laces on from my running shoe and problem solved. Besides the functionality issue with the laces, they look pretty stupid as well. The plastic bit on the end of the lace by the toe also bounces up and down while you walk and makes a slight clacking sound from hitting the shoe, which is kind of annoying. If you're buying these with the intent to be walking around in them all day, do yourself a favor and order some normal shoe laces with them. The only other issue was that sizing stops doing half sizes after 12. I initially got a size 12 EE, thinking they would size the same as my running shoe, but they were just a bit too tight. A half size up would have been perfect, but instead I had to go a full size up, which isn't terrible, but it is slightly looser than I wish it was. Again, these are fantastic work shoes, but whoever thought up this fancy lace design has probably never walked more than an hour with them.
