Comfortable and affordable work shoes

Muy buen tenis industrial, la mejor compra e inversión que puedes hacer para tus pies si trabajas en entornos donde requieras proteger tus pies y estar comodo. Lo recomiendo mucho. Comodidad, transpiración, no calan, no se salen, estan a la medida, tienen buen grip.

This might not be brief, but it will be efficient (and worth it)!
1. I bought/tried these shoes because, within six months, I have always ripped the front of my new balance shoes (for ~ a decade) requiring new ones. Hence I waited 1 year + to write this review…
2. These shoes are as comfortable as new balance and still look new! So no need to constantly replace them… Or baby them (I’m hard on shoes).
As you can imagine the steel keeps the front of the shoe from ripping. So never again…
3. I run (with my dog — fast) in these shoes, they are that comfortable.
4. Therefore they are perfect from a security perspective. Not only can no one stomp on your foot and do you harm, but imagine getting kicked with these suckers on! Also, you could run away if you needed to…
5. These shoes are so comfortable, I routinely think I’m wearing my slippers and thus fail to swap them when I get home. I’ve caught myself many times realizing I wore them all day.
6. I made a mistake when I bought my first pair. I knew I would get lazy and not change shoes to walk my dog, so I wanted to avoid smashing my toes against the steel plate during a run. If you’re a runner of any distance, you know how much damage that can do to your feet. So I bought 10s instead of 9.5. Four months later I bought 9.5 because they clearly accounted for that in the design. And the 10s were too big. My feet were sliding around too much in those, even with pads in them.
7. They are roomy vertically so I doubled up some pads in them (the 9.5s) thus increasing their comfort. Yet they remain roomy/comfortable. I never bump up against the plate.
8. You can put HEAVY things on them, I often hang drywall, and you can set it on your shoes feeling no pressure on your feet while keeping the drywall off the ground.
9. They are a tad on the warm side. Terrific in winter, and even good for walking in snow, but in the summer, on a hot day my feet will sweat. Not wonderful. They breathe, but there are tradeoffs. IE It’s hard to breathe through a steel plate. So I can’t blame the manufacturer, I still love them.
10. The sole is not particularly flexible, it doesn’t exactly conform/bend to your feet during a run, but I wouldn’t think buyers of shoes like these would care. I got used to it, but it’s worth mentioning in case others might (care). And that leads to my next point:
11. During a run, a sharp rock came up through the bottom of my first pair. I was shocked because that never happened before. And I suspect the ridgidness of the sole may have contributed. They weren’t destroyed by that, but if you’re walking around a construction site, be careful. Safe on top, not so sure about the bottom. In a year + that hasn’t happened with this pair. They’re not bad soles, but perhaps the only room for improvement.
12. I never thought someone stomping on my foot could do me harm. I thought that was ridiculous in movies until I dropped something heavy on my foot 2 years ago. Wow – ouch! So even if you don’t do construction, these are a great upgrade to your personal security for that reason alone.
13. Even with the steel plate and sturdy construction, I don’t find them all that heavy (anymore), but they are heavier and a bit clunky, runners will notice and it took some getting used to. Eventually my laziness, about changing shoes, won out and now I’m used to running in them. And I no longer view them as such a drag. For several months, I loathed running in them until one day I just forgot.
14. I don’t consider them waterproof. Water resistant maybe, but don’t sell your waders. Your feet will get wet if you submerge them.
15. If you want shoes that will last forever, look good without maintenance, increase your personal security, protect your feet, and that you will eventually find very comfortable, these are for you.

Now that I’ve had these for a month now, and wear them 12 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week, I feel confident they’ve had time to break in. Initially, they were a little stiff. I expected them to be a little tight, so I ordered half a size larger than regular sneakers, but I realized that appears unnecessary as there is plenty of room in the toe.
After a couple of days I started to feel a seam in the liner that was bothering me across my little toe, and I was not wearing these every day yet, but I decided to press on to see if they broke in by wearing them daily and eventually I forgot about it. When I remembered I realized they were no longer bothering me. That was about a week. I’ve now worn them four weeks.
I spray them with Tinactin deodorant after every use, because my foot gets fairly wet with sweat after 12 hours and I’ve previously had trouble with athletes foot. I know fungus can build up in shoes worn too often, and this can not only cause athletes foot, but also break down the material in the shoe itself. The shoe needs to dry out between uses.
Also worth noting, the memory foam insole is comfortable, but not my preference. It is not however, removable, and there is insufficient space to double-up insoles. I have run in these a fair distance and short jaunts, and kicks, and side-stepping and have never felt the steel toe. The sole is stiff and squeaks on some surfaces, and walking through puddles causes no leaks. The top is tuff also, minor scrapes cause no damage. Of course YMMV, I wear these in a warehouse only and change in the car. They are a little dusty from the black dust in the warehouse, but no dirt or mud. Mud and salts can dry the material and cause cracking and rotting. How some have reported such damage so quickly I cannot say, but these appear to hold up very well for my usage, although I do believe the insole will be the first to go. Which is why I don’t like memory foam for insoles. They are great for comfort for a large variety of foot shapes, but they are not as durable as a specific-shaped insoles. I plan on getting a black pair to alternate with these.
The only desires I have in these is a composite toe that doesn’t set off a metal detector, and a lower price. I ordered the beige style that is somehow twice the price of the black style. I don’t know the difference as to why. $50 is outstanding, $90 is worth it, but why pay more?
Update 6/14/24
After about six months the insoles finally crapped out. When I finally got around to ripping them out they came out easily, I guess the glue broke down over time. Now with new insoles they are fully functional again and the outer is still in good condition, see image.

I’ve been wearing these shoes for years. The first time I’ve tried them, i got hooked by how comfortable they are. i have no issue wearing them all day. They are great. They generally last for a little over 6 months. But these are very hard months. I work in a heavy duty diesel repair shop, and these guys take a lot of abuse. I’ve been through about 4 pairs of these shoes.
The soles are strong. Generally i don’t replace my shoes because the soles are worn, except for one pair at around the year mark. that’s not bad.
The inside cushion is awesome. This tends to wear out about 6months in. Either the top layer comes off, or the foam is not longer returning to original shape.
The ankle cushion also wears at about the 6 month mark. This is generally what causes me to replace my shoes. The shaper for the ankle cushion, in the back is hard, and once the cushion wears, it does dig into the back of my foot a little bit.
When you get them on sale for 40+ bucks, that’s the best. i try not to buy them at their regular price of over $60. I wish they had these exact shoes with a slightly higher profile around the ankle. I don’t like the full ankle support ones. but these offer no ankle protection at all. Wish there was middle ground.
Either way the only shoes i wear at work,

The boots are very comfortable and provide nice protection. But when the boots are fully in the break-in stage, The insoles tend to break and be unbearable to walk in, if you get the boots wet, the boots tend to somehow break down from the laces and tongue. The boots aren’t oil-slip resistant (found out the hard way). The boots are nice in their new stage but I had to switch boots 4-6 months after.
