These are the solution I’ve been looking for. The combination of the Florida summer heat / humidity and working outside doing renovations (from roofing to carpentry to painting) means you either have an incredibly stinky shoe and a damp foot at the end of the day, or are wearing something that doesn’t provide adequate protection. I thought: “There has to be a better way!”. And I was right, and it’s this. Took me a while to get there though. Save yourself my trials and tribulations by trying these out first.First I tried the Crocs and the hospital grade Birkenstocks and similar slip ons- just not safe enough. Then I tried the “garden shoe”, better traction, more robust but no breathability and stank to high heavens. Then I went the repurposed old running shoe route, not terrible but not ideal. I was wrecking pairs of shoes at breakneck speed.Then I stepped on a nail that went straight through my running shoes and halfway through my foot (it was bad) and I said this has got to stop I need a more long term solution.Then I thought well I’m just going to have to get some ankle height timberlands and call it a day. But then I came across these.This combines the breathability, traction, flex, safety and sleekness I’ve been looking for. Easy to slip on and off, but not too easy. Steel toe doesn’t get in the way of flexibility. The nail resistant sole looks great, but I haven’t attempted to jump on any nails to test it... and won’t be.Even my girlfriend really likes them, which is more than I can say for the last dozen pairs of work shoes I’ve had. If she had it her way those Birkenstock clogs would’ve been set on fire a long time ago.So, everybody wins here. Do yourself a favor and give them a try.

I asked the owner if I could use them for skateboarding and they do work and never rip. They're heavy for the typical skate shoes which also puts more force on the board. I feel like it could break my board, but nothing has happened yet. They are comfortable but it's different from regular skate shoes and takes time to get used to. The bottom of the shoes are flat, but I still kind of felt a sole gap most likely due to the weight distribution. Otherwise, these are really nice for skateboarding because regular skate shoes rip after 2 months and once they rip the functionality of feel of the board changes. These won't rip and therefore are constant in the feel I always have of the board.

70hr work week down and these shoes are pretty damn good and look good. As a mechanic in a hot shop they’ve helped a lot with sweaty feet. When I stand in front of the big fans we have I can feel the air flowing right through them. BUT the quality of the shoe isn’t that amazing I mean for the price I did get what was expected but I don’t see them lasting more than three months. They took a little getting used to because the shoe is so light but having the heavier toe felt awkward at first. The plastic lock on the bungee laces doesn’t really stay tight, I see myself having to replace that soon. Also, order insoles at the same time, I had to go out the next day to replace them, they’re super cheap and thin. But for now I’m happy. I’ll update when they fall apart.

I gave 4 out of 5 because the sizing is off, I ordered my exact size and they are quite large. I could've been better off with one full size or half size smaller. Also the laces are so so, I swapped them out immediately and is much better.They work as they are described and they are actually quite comfortable.Would recommend, but buy a size a step down! And have some replacement laces handy.

Okay, I've got to be completely honest. The very first time I was putting these on (yesterday), the black plastic thingy came off the end of the lace. But it was my fault because I tugged on it, which I probably shouldn't have done. No biggie... tied the lace in a knot and went out to do my yard work.Worked in them for 7 hours. They fit perfectly (or so I thought), and the insoles didn't bunch up like the pair I bought in another color (yet).After my shower last night, I noticed that my big toes and some of my little toes felt bruised. They may have been a bit too snug for me. I did notice that the other pair I bought in a different color looked noticeably bigger than these green ones. I ordered them both a half size larger than what I wear, so I think I may have received the wrong size or they just run small. The gray ones I bought were a slightly different shoe too, with laces instead of the bungie cord tie. Even though they are the same size, the gray ones look and feel about a half size larger than the green ones.The other ones (gray) didn't hurt my toes at all when I wore them earlier this spring, but the insoles did bunch up and then fall out immediately. In fact, they crept up to my toes as I was wearing them for the second time, a very uncomfortable feeling. I think I'll continue to wear them for this gardening season, but I'll superglue the insole in before I wear them again.These shoes were inexpensive, and I guess one could argue that you get what you pay for. I don't expect to get more than one season from them. But I have to say, I still think they are pretty great. I'm famous for working in the garden and having accidents. The last time I dropped a sharp tool on my toe, narrowly missing taking it off, I vowed to buy some steel toed shoes for my next season of gardening. So far I've only worn them three times between the two pairs, but they have already prevented a couple of pretty hearty toe-stubs. I suppose it would behoove me to learn to be less clutsy, but can't teach an old dog new tricks. Well I guess you can, because I won't do heavy gardening in my flip flops anymore.All in all, these aren't without flaws but I'm glad to have them. And I think it'll probably be an annual spring purchase to buy a pair or two. A hundred bucks a year is not much to spend to protect your feet. A trip to the Emergency Room would cost me at least fifteen hundred and possibly a lifetime of pain. I bought them with the intention of beating them up, and that's what I'm going to do!

My husband wore these to work for FOUR WEEKS ONLY and the rubber sole is separating from the shoe making them no longer safe to wear. Definitely wouldn't repurchase or recommend to anyone because of how poorly they're constructed. Do yourself a favor and look elsewhere...
