I've been using this shoe for about a week now and already I have my reservations. Firstly, if anyone is considering to buy this shoe to use in a workplace such as a restaurant...DO NOT BUY THIS SHOE. I repeat. Do. Not. Buy. This. Shoe. For. Restaurants. If the floor's surface is even remotely wet, with any liquid, you will be slipping and trying to keep your balance. In the worst case scenario the floor has just been mopped. Oh God. It is like sliding on an ice rink, I am not even kidding. If the floor is oily, then you're feet will begin slowly slipping away if you are attempting to stand in one spot. Honestly the worst shoe I could have purchased for my job. I'm so pissed. On a lighter note, they are supportive like other people have claimed. Also they are made very well and keep my feet dry. However another problem I have is the way the lip of the shoe, the left side on the right shoe for example, will poke into my ankle joint and irritate the hell out of it. It is almost painful the way it does this. I got the black shoes and they are pretty boring, I wish I had gone with one of the brown ones -- I feel they would go better with the blue jeans that a frequently wear to work. Another negative is that the shoes were shipped with only one pair of laces. I prefer when I get a spare. Also the pair I got are too big for me. I ordered a size 11.5, when I wear a size 12 comfortably for Saucony shoes. So I probably should have ordered a size 11 for these. Maybe it is because of the way the front of the shoe is larger than normal shoes. I don't know. I'll probably end up throwing these shoes in the closet and then head over to crocs.com to order myself a pair of Bistro Crocs as soon as my pay check comes in.
