I have to wear slip-resistant shoes for my restaurant job. These are the best I've found. They are cute rather than the hideous Frankenstein-style common for slip-resistants (especially important to me as I have big feet; I can wear shorts and capri pants at work, so I'd rather not have big ugly shoes on my feet!), lightweight, easy to clean up, and very comfortable. I work at a very busy restaurant and probably clock a few miles every shift. These shoes do the best of any I've ever worn at keeping my poor feet from aching so much at the end of the night. And they are very, very slip-resistant, as opposed to some of the cheap store brands you can buy--I've almost killed myself in some of those so-called slip-resistant shoes. I wear these shoes out of work all the time too, since they slip right on and off and are comfy with or without socks, and they don't seem to get stinky, either. But even if they did, you could just wash them right out. Whether I'm running to the corner store or walking the dog, these are my go-to shoes--that's why I'm on my third pair! They're very durable, but I have turned-in feet, so eventually I wear down any pair of shoes I buy. These hold up better than most to my unusual wear pattern. A+ product.
