My job requires anti slip shoes and these do the job, the lace breaks in a month but that's a cheap replacement, before these I went through 4 or 5 shoes from Shoes for crews, and at a higher price they all killed my feet, these on the other hand, still hurt but a lot more bearable then any other shoes I've attempted to wear at work, I do add a heal gel insert, working in a wet room, so they get wet daily, last about 5 or 6 months, that's good for something that isn't sealed rubber.
