Skechers for Work Men's Cottonwood Elks Slip Resistant Shoe

I have trouble finding shoes that fit, I usually get blisters on the tops of my hammer toes and on my pinky toe from wide feet. I am 6'3" 240 pounds, have hammer toes, high arches, wide feet (so I ordered size 12EEE). I just started a new job as a Waiter/Server at a new restaurant and Manager, so I put a lot of miles on my shoes, on wet greasy floors, and if my feet hurt, I get grumpy, which means I lose tips or don't want to work as much or as hard. It is very important to me that my shoes are good, to keep me in a happy mood and make me want to work more hours. And I have owned some very expensive shoes from handmade Danner boots, Cole Haan, Rockport, Salomon and Dansko to name a few, so I have no problem buying very expensive shoes. These Skechers Cottonwood Elks are very comfortable right out of the box! They are very roomy all over and have a large toe-box for my hammer toes. I got no blisters even on day one. (I did try a trick I learned from hiking: I wore thin nylon socks against my skin,or women's' nylons can work, and a thick sock outside.....this prevent blisters even in new shoes or long hikes). I like how stable these shoes are and how well they grip! They are very comfortable but also give me confidence with the large sole and good slip-resistant tread. I was extremely impressed with these shoes on day one. I also bought some Dansko Walkers which cost $140, and there is no doubt the Dansko are a more quality shoe and worth the money (more stable, form-fitted, less squishy and appear they will last much longer), these Skecher Cottonwood Elks are an extremely good shoe and I would highly recommend them!!!

Comfortable work shoe. Great for this transit operator and nice looking leather uppers. I added sole cushions to make them extra comfy and they wear quite well. Though oil resistant soles tend to wear quickly due to their soft nature I've milked a couple of years out of mine. The soles are thinning, but with an occasional polishing they look sharp and professional, and repel water still.

I always stray from these shoes to find something dressier for work, and end up wasting money. I do customer service and have a uniform policy. I need black shoes and these have always offered the most support, comfort, and durability. I have also never slipped in these.

After the "breaking in" period, the shoes works as expected. These were probably overkill for me in that I have a desk job in a professional environment. Still, I needed shoes that weren't too fancy but was budget friendly and would look good in an office setting, yet also be practical. The practical part, the slip-resistant design, works wonderfully as the lobby of my building, as well as the area I work on has tile floors that can get quite slippery when wet, particularly when people are trotting in from the rain. I haven't had any issue with skidding or sliding with these shoes at my office building compared to other shoes I've worn. Also, as pointed out, you may want to consider getting a half-size or one size up from what you normally wear. The shoes do have that extra tightness of boots and dress shoes. I did that; I usually wear size 10.5, but went for a 11, and it turned out great. Nice and snug, not too tight or loose.

Been looking for work shoes that are made from real leather, that have good insides and souls, that will stand up to me standing up and walking my average 5 to 7 miles a day, all on concrete. Tried all the sneaker types, supposedly leather shoes and have had them all fail due to very thin leather if it was leather, and disbond at the souls or insides tear up at the heal. So far, these are holding up well, with no signs of problems with the leather or insides. The upper seems to be thick enough leather to not split, but also is flexing well with my stride. They seem to be well put together so far. The padded foot bed is comfortable so far. The slip resistant souls are good, but do collect small rocks. Comfort is good, with little break in time, about a day, and my feet were used to them. I can't speak to longevity yet as I've only worn them a few weeks, but so far so good. I'll update if these fail, or are lasting and wearing well. I have been going through shoes about a pair every 8 months to a year, with my last three sneaker types not lasting that long, so I really hope these last better.

Good quality

I got a pair of these as a gift from my mother quite a few years back and they're very comfortable and durable. So much so in fact that I went searching on Amazon for a replacement pair when they finally wore out after about 5-6 years. The non-slip soles work great at work, at points where I would definitely fall on my butt if I were wearing regular shoes. The shoe is so comfortable that you can walk around Six Flags all day with no foot pain. Please note, when they are new they are a little tight to the point of being a bit uncomfortable; however, after a week or so, they break in a bit and feel wonderful. Highly recommend!

I have had these shoes for 16 months i wear them 2 or 3 times per month the left shoe the bottom is coming apart and the right is like new I will add photos.

Yo como conductor de vehículos pesados en este caso categoría D,son excelentes tanto en confor como en resistencia..los recomiendo la verdad por lo menos a mi me hacen el "apaño"

These are very good shoes - instantly comfortable. I've previously bought trainers to accommodate my misshapen feet, and I'm not a big fan of trainers. Not in my 60's. So to put these on and not feel the pinches and rubbing I would normally find with leather shoes is very very good news. I can wear them to walk in, they look presentable enough to wear for smart casual, and they are good enough to work in too. It's always been the case that if I find comfortable shoes, when I go back to replace them the model has changed and I can't get the same thing. So I've bought two pairs of these - you can take that as a recommendation.

Fast delivery and good communication

They are comfortable, easy to wear and clean.
