This shoe has been the very best work shoe for me. I've used it to work in various work sites such as a warehouse and it always has proven to be a winner in terms of quality and value. It's not too expensive yet it looks good, it feels good and it's not as heavy as a steel toe work boot. I've bought two pairs like this in the past and each one lasted well over a year...I just simply got each pair scuffed up so much with the work I do I did not choose to keep them so I bought an additional pair. But I must say if you can overlook scuff marks the shoes last and last! The build quality is exceptional and the look in my opinion is stylish for a work shoe! I just bought two more pairs from Amazon and I hope Skechers will continue to make this particular shoe model, the Skechers for Work Dexter Lace Up!!
