I've always liked Skechers shoes, figured I'd give their work line a try.

This shoe fits a bit tighter than the same shoe from the non-work line.

A casual shoe that is great for the kitchen, yet maintains a professional enough appearance that I can wear them to meetings as I am a department head and have both center and corporate meetings that require my attendance.

I've been wearing them for about a week now, and they've broken in quite nicely.  Non slip performance is great in the kitchen and the leather cleans up easily after spilling/dripping grease, flour and random other food items on them.

___________UPDATE!___________

It's been 7 moths since my initial review.

The shoes still look and feel great (maybe about time for some new insoles though).  I've had to burn a few of the stitches that have frayed, but seems like there is still plenty of life left in these.

I think my next pair of kitchen shoes will be Skechers. :)
