I've gone through three pairs of these shoes in industrial maintenance since 2005.

My first pair fell apart in a year, but I continued to wear them for another year because of my finances. The insides ripped up and the orange part of the soles fell off. I walked less than a mile per shift in these shoes.

The second pair lasted 4 years before I actually wore a hole through the soles! But... I walked at the most a 1/2 mile per shift at that job.

The third and last pair lasted about a year before developing broad cracks across the soles at the ball of each foot, and the sole is becoming unglued at the toe on the left shoe. Like the others, the interior developed worn areas as well. I walked about 2 miles per shift in these shoes.

All three pairs required shoe inserts because the ones that came with them deteriorated within six months of wear. And the last pair required them immediately, because they shipped with ones that smelled like a chemistry experiment gone wrong. I could smell them while I was wearing the shoes, it was so strong.

They are comfortable but quite heavy. The steel toe is rock solid and did actually save me from injury once from quite a heavy weight.

I'm not going to buy any more Worx brand shoes. I paid around $100 per pair and I don't think the quality matches the price.
