Skechers Men's Cankton Steel Toe Electrical Hazard Construction Shoes

These are way more comfortable than I was expecting. The soles are very gel-like and and I feel good in them all day. There's plenty of room in my toe and I don't feel like the steel is rubbing against my feet. I dropped an 8x4 3/4" piece of plywood on my foot and the steel toe did it's job.Please note though, YOU CANNOT REMOVE THE INSOLES if you want to add super feet later or something. Wish I knew that, so I wouldn't have bought them. The insoles are very comfy though and my flat feet feel great.

This post isn't about shoe quality, it is about sizing. I ordered an 11 and 1/2 (the size he always wears) but also ordered the 11 and 1/2 wide. What I wanted to comment on was the fact that the 11 and 1/2 size are bigger than the 11 and 1/2 wide. If we didn't get the wide fit we would have had to size down a half of size. Don't know if this is true for all but it was for the 11 and 1/2 size . Just posting for the next person :) in the photo the shoe on the right is the 11 and 1/2 and the left is the same size but wide. The wide seemed more tru to size 11 and 1/2

Im on my 5th pair. They are extremely comfortable and I would give 5 stars if the insoles lasted longer than 2 months. I kept buying new ones just because the insoles wore out. I have now found insoles that are almost an exact replacement for the originals. Now I can get way more life out of the shoes. Cruvheal insoles

My job requires steel toe shoes/boots, but im in an office so I dont need to get the expensive boots. These are perfect for what my job requires, and still able to do my job while staying safe.

Got this shoe from employer boots mobile bout 6 yrs ago and been wearing when needed at certain jobs. Comfortable, cushion when walk but 6 months later another foot pad can be applied for another 6 months. 1 yr last if u like tore up boots at work. A pair every ur.

I wear every day. 8,000 steps a day sometimes

This might not be brief, but it will be worth it:At 6 months - 1 year I loved them (and wrote the list below). Some time after that, a hole wore through the heel of the soul, but I kept using them because the heel is fairly high off the ground. And at 20 months, they died. The first hole grew and another one wore through the toe of the soul. They are thrashed. Not good daily shoes. Good for 6 months - 1 year.I've updated what I originally wrote somewhat to account for the new information:1. These shoes are comfortable!2. I run (with my dog -- fast) in these shoes, they are that comfortable (but a little heavy).3. No one can stomp on your foot and do you harm, and imagine getting kicked with them! Also, you could run away if you needed to...4. 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.5. I made a mistake when I bought my first pair. I bought 10s instead of 9.5 to avoid hitting the steel plate during a run. Four months later I bought these 9.5 because they clearly accounted for that in the design. The 10s were too big. My feet were sliding around too much in those, even with pads in them.6. They are roomy vertically so I doubled up some pads in the 9.5s thus increasing their comfort. Yet they remain roomy/comfortable. I never bump up against the plate.7. 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.8. 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.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 both pairs. I was shocked, the first time, because that had never happened in other shoes. And I suspect the rigidness 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 on bottom.12. I never thought someone stomping on my foot could do me harm 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.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. Especially after the develop holes in the bottom.
