I've tried many styles of shoes over the last eight years. I deliver bread to 7 warehouses a night. Most of my job is driving, so I wanted comfort. I also needed something that wouldn't slip on the delivery ramp. These finally fit the bill. This is my second pair, my first pair lasted over a year, with just a little help from Gorilla Glue. If they are still around I will be buying them again next year. The laces I replaced with para cord, but that is a personal preference.
