That means delivering the kind of safety, comfort and performance that contributes to living a richer, fuller, multidimensional life – on the job and off.

Review: Work shoes and more - I bought this for work, as I love the brand, but it’s actually become my go-to for almost everything else because it’s comfortable and a nice solid shape and style. Roomy fit at front. So it’s easy on the foot, and for me, it also keeps me from feeling hot. I sized like I do most athletic shoes. (Note: I “measure at a 9,” but I pretty much always get at least a 9.5 when I buy shoes, and my feet aren’t wide at all). The composite toe isn’t noticeable to me. I always work with them bc I appreciate, and use, the protection. But yeah, I wear these to the stadium, to concerts, to a party…
Review: Favorite work shoe ever - These shoes are my absolute favorite work shoes I’ve ever owned. The cushion is amazingly comfortable, the toe doesn’t even feel like there’s anything in there and they look way cooler in person than they do in the photos. Everyone complements them. They do hold up (I’m a fuel hauler) but I’m also careful about what I kick or drop on these so maybe I’m not the best reference for that.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Favorite work shoe ever
*by N***K on November 26, 2025*

These shoes are my absolute favorite work shoes I’ve ever owned.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great aesthetics but be aware and understanding
*by A***E on July 9, 2025*

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The shoe bottom is stiff like a flank of wood and I recommend folding it in half for a minute to allow it to flex easier when walking. Some discomfort on the inside outer seam when the shoe folds because it has double the material that folds over stiffly which is a trade off between comfort and durability. I wear an 11.5 shoe and prefer wide due to it typically giving a less pointed toebox. Safety toe shoes are naturally rounded so I still choose wide to avoid the hardened toe from irritating my toes or pinching if you kneel. This shoe seems to be a little wider in the foot and toebox than my other keen and timberland safety toe shoes. The toe box I appreciate but the foot area requires more synching to avoid some swimming. I could’ve probably went down a half size and wide would’ve been more fitting but not sure if it was worth the back and forth since it seems I’m between both options. The comfortability is as good as my others in the past while being more casual and not soo over the top looking. When wearing this shoe, I can still smell a rubber/ chemical (NOT like NEW tire smell) smell (while wearing them) after 1 week still.
