SkechersMen's Soft Stride Grinnel M Industrial Shoe

I needed a new pair of comp toe boots for work, I'm on my feet for up to 12 hours a day, the last pair I had were heavy and causing me some discomfort.I've had various Sketchers trainers before and always loved the fit and feel. I needed a lighter weighted pair of work boots so I decided on these, best decision I've made.They are light (for work boots) the quality, grip and comfort is great, the toe area is wider than my last pair which I love too. They feel strong and sturdy.Highly recommend these, so far no negatives and all positives.

I purchased these shoes for my job as a warehouse picker, where I work 27 hours a week. They are the most comfortable safety shoes I have ever worn. The insole feels like walking on a cloud, and the composite toecap is lightweight, which reduces fatigue. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone in a similar work environment. Although it's too early to judge their durability, unlike previous pairs I've owned, the toe cap hasn't ripped yet.EDIT (13/11/2024): After a year and +2250 kilometres later, these shoes have held up well! While the front lip of the shoes has slightly detached, the insole has lost some comfort, and some of the fabric has torn, I still consider this performance good for the amount of wear they’ve endured. Given that I work in a warehouse, I can see that in a more abrasive environment, they would likely need to be replaced more frequently.

I purchased these based on the comfort of my other 'civvy street' Sketchers which, are excellent.My existing work shoes were causing sore feet when stomping around on hard concrete floors all day.These 'work' sketchers are a huge improvement but not perfect.Firstly the fit. Relaxed is probably the right description, they are roomy for me and i have wide feet.The heel area seems to lack close fitting support and my heel slips up/down in the shoe as i walk.This allows for excellent movement and flexibility but doesn't feel very secure for a work shoe.Quality is excellent. Sturdy, well made and for once a decent looking shoe, well done Sketchers.My one caveat is the lace eyelets. They are not the usual metal eyelets but a 'nylon-like' material thatdoesnt give me much confidence when pulling hard on the laces. They havent broken yet but im wondering how long they will last.Grip is excellent. The soles dont look much compared with the 'off road tyre' look of some shoes, but the grip is as good as it gets.I was a little disappointed by the comfort. My other Sketchers are the best for comfort but these still left me with slightly sore feet at the end of a long day. I have however solved this by fitting additional memory foam insoles. They are now excellent and have the added benefit of taking up some of the slack, sorry, relaxed fitting.Not being waterproof is a sin in my book for a work shoe. However if you work indoors thats not an issue.All in all, a very good shoe, not perfect but probably some of the very best.Update:My concerns about the eyelets were unfounded, after a few weeks of heavy use, they stand up to the rigours of 'contractual' use. They have now 'moulded' to my feet, show no signs of degrading and are finally comfortable, it took a few weeks. But i now wont part with them.

Way better than any other shoes for fit , quality and comfort. Well worth the money, even though my company supplies shoes for free, I bought these with my own money because they are lightyears ahead in quality.My working days are happier wearing these. Cooler in summer, warmer in winter, better looks and grip. No need to remove going through metal detectors either. Fantastic.

These shoes are very comfortable to wear. I wear these for work daily, as my job requires a lot of walking, and are very comfy too. I am very impressed by the unique shape of the inner soul, making these trainers the first pair of footwear where I have not needed to double up on inner-sould.I like being able of slip in and out of these work trainers, instead of having to face around with tying up laces every time. The hardened toe is extremely useful for a work trainer, as it protects the toes from being squashed..I just hope these shoes stand the test of time, and will not fall apart. Hwever, since I have only had the trainers for a week, only time will tell on this.

Edit, not going to get four months out of these unfortunately. Waste of money. Changed front 4* to 1*.Comfortable straight out of the box, but stitching started coming apart after 3 months, inner gel sole needed changing after 4 months.Overall a Comfortable, solid shoe, heavier than a Scetchers trainer.But loses a star as I have had similar quality work boots for half the price.

Good comfort last around 6 months for daily work use.The only problem is the sole’s wear out quicker than the comfort does.Taking in the price I would expect them to last a lot longer than normal boots.

3rd pair of sketchers safety shoes, very comfy, very happy
