My job requires everyone to wear steel-toed shoes. I had previously worn normal work boots, bought from a retail store, that only carried regular width shoes(Sears). Because I have wide feet, I've been buying shoes at least a size bigger, to fit my wide feet. The salesman at Sears(thanks!)told me to check Sears.com. Well, I buy a lot of my favorite classical music from...Amazon. I had no idea Amazon sold shoes, and I had no idea you can buy wide shoes online. Anyway, I'm buying all my shoes from Amazon from now on. I bought a pair of shoes in the wrong size, sent them back, return postage pre-paid, to Amazon. Totally stress-free. Wonderful! I'm on my feet, on concrete, in a warehouse, 11 hours a day. Regular steel-toe work boots are okay, even if they fit good. These Florsheim shoes are far superior to any boots(I've gone through quite a few)because they are so comfortable to walk around in, and they feel softer around the feet, like regular walking shoes. After 11 hours on my feet, I'm ready to go walking for exercise with my wife in these shoes. After these wear out, I'm buying another pair. I just love them.
