Not for the long haul in the restaurant industry. I purchased these shoes last week hoping the poor reviews were untrue, unfortunately they are not. I work at an incredibly busy restaurant that has multiple floors both of wood and custome tile as a food runner. The soles on these shoes are so thin you can feel every grout line and crack in the wood. The soles are not the best in slip resistance  especially near the dish pit. The toe box is tight and the shoes slip off easily, there is only a flimsy 1&#34; strip of Velcro to close the shoe, so you can't really get a tight fit if you wanted one. I even tried my own inserts to increase the comfort with no luck. I hope I can return them cause for $70 I was hoping for a bit more comfort. 2 stars, cause I like the look, otherwise I would have rated this product a 1 star.
