I purchased this shoe about a year ago and am very happy with this product.  I find many safety shoes are just to heavy and stiff, fine for standing but just not walking shoes.  I do a lot of walking and climbing at work and these are confortable and durable.  They have enough of a heel to make them safe on ladders, they shed water fairly well and they have a good solid grip.  Don't get me wrong, thet are not a substitute for athletic shoes but if your looking for a great safety/work shoe I recommend these.
