These shoes are among the most comfortable shoes that I have purchased in recent years. I have large wide feet (13 Wide) and it's difficult to find shoes for me that I like.

However, they have 2 problems:
1.) Made in China, as most things are these days.
2.) The rubber started separating from one shoe after one week of wear. Not a big problem for me since I always has epoxy around home. I simply glued it back together with epoxy and a couple of clamps.

Update April 1, 2013:
Now I have been wearing these shoes for nearly a month. They are extremely comfortable walking shoes. They have good traction in snow and on most surfaces. Nor do they seem to slip much on ice.

The only problem was mention above where the rubber sole on one shoe started to come apart. I fixed it with a liberal amount of boat building type epoxy, which has held. No problems with the opposite shoe, and no other problems since.

I am a heavy person with large wide feet. These shoes are among the most comfortable shoes that I have had in recent years. The steel toe is extra security for my feet.

Update September 4, 2013
I wear these shoes every day. They are the most comfortable work or walking shoe that I own.
I just upgraded them to 4 stars because of that.

But they are definitely not a 5 star shoe because of their quality control. As I mentioned before, one of the shoes had the sole come loose shortly after I purchased it. I glued that shoe back together again with a good quality epoxy. No problems since then, and I like these shoes.

Update March 10, 2015
I've had these shoes for 2 years now and they have survived the test of time. after the repair to one of the shoes when they 1st arrived. I replaced them a couple of months ago since the tread on the rubber soles was wearing down, allowing them to slide on ice and snow more easily. However, I can still wear them without any problems.

One thing that I neglected to mention in this review up until now is that these shoes are not water resistant. Spraying them with a good water repellent when you first get them would be a good idea. I think that it would also help keep them cleaner.

I have always liked these shoes and have no problem recommending them.
