I'm an IT Desktop Support tech for an energy company and sometimes I have to go to a power plant to provide service.  Although I have to don a hardhat, eye protection and ear protection, I do not have to change into protective shoes, because these fit the requirements for the safety specifications at the plant.  The fit seems to be normal but they are very stiff and are requiring quite a bit of break-in, unlike other, non-safety Skechers I have worn.
