SkechersCOTTONWOOD- ELKS mens Sneakers

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.

Tried them in the shop first (but they only had 11's or 9's). Could tell they were comfortable, so bought them off Amazon. Glad I did. Bought another pair a few days later aswell. One pair for work and one pair for home. Put loads of polish on them to start with to help in protection. The grip is great - better than the recommended tyres on my car!Just like to add that they are still going strong - both pairs. Glad I bought themFurther/Later Note: I just realised, I bought these in December 2108 (and it's now February 2020)! They're still fine. However, the one pair got a scuff on them (the work pair), from a steel gate that swung across my foot. yes, it's marked one of them, but I just put loads of polish on and they both look fine again. Still no complaints.Now March 2021 - still got the same two pairs! Still looking good and not degraded in any way.October 2022 - The working pair finally gave up the ghost. Back started wearing and the plastic inserts digging into my heels (Achilles Heel?), and inside was starting to deteriorate. But - seeing as I purchased them in 2018, can't complain. The good pair are now my working pair - and still fine (although I don't wear them that often). Maybe I was/am lucky?

By far, the best fitting, comfortable and economical shoe I’ve bought. I used to plough through several pairs of shoes per year. Now I only buy these once a year. I only replace them as the sole wear down. 100% recommend.

The insole is pretty good on its own without the need of a 3rd party insert. The thick outer sole also adds stability and keeps you out of puddles. Managed to last well over a year with regular work use being exposed to water, chemicals and grease.

I bought these to replace an old pair of Sketchers that had worn down after many years and just like those shoes, these are wonderful! Very comfortable to wear all day with good support.The fit was as expected for me. If you're looking for non-slip shoes that lean towards being more stylish than typical non-slip shoes, these are great. They work well with a variety of outfits and won't hurt your feet in the process. I've been wearing them almost every day for a few months now and they show no signs of falling apart.
