I had my doubts but Skechers came thru with great work shoes. I have had deer stags and shoes for crews but these are top of the line. I just got a second job and the shoes I had were fine but I sonetimes slipped even though they were work shoes. The other brands cost the sane but use cheaper materials and my feet would hurt bad after 2 shifts. As soon as I wore these beauties my feet are much more comfortable. The shoes are very well made and look like nice shoes not just ugly work shoes. They are comfortable and are superb at being slip resistent. Im getting these again.
