I've been reading online what to look for in slip-resistant shoes. I thought these were the best out there and as they were for work I had a large ceiling price wise. These are slip resistant but not as much as the safe-treads from K-mart or even the ones from Walmart. Those  however don't last long so I was looking for better quality and thought these were IT, I had read sooo many reviews of these along with reviews of this brand from other sites..First, they DOOOO run small. I wear 8.5 so ordered a 9 they're still a few millimeters short. ABSOLUTELY NO insert cushioning. Wearing them only a few hour's have made my feet hurt, ya think they would provide something better than the thin foam for the price. I work on cement covered by a epoxy type covering and we have to mop twice daily along with water/food being spilled. (Avain care specialist) like a idiot, wore them into the work after wearing them around the house for a little bit so can't send them in. Can't BELIEVE people would buy these to just walk in, wish my review was more positive, but I work 10.5hrs an these lasted only 2 before I had to take them off.
