I liked my old Nautilus so much I had bought 3 so far. This was my 4th and I went for a more formal (meeting) style.<br /><br />Unfortunately these are disappointing. Like the other ones, they aren't very durable. The last pairs lasted less than a year and these won't last beyond that. Already cracking severely at the bends.<br /><br />The worst part is they slip on wet and oily conditions. This is almost as important as being steel toe. In my entire career I may have slipped 3 times. Since wearing these I have slipped more than 3 times and have to walk around.<br /><br />The last thing I'll say is these were slightly tighter and breaking them in is taking very long.<br /><br />I would not recommend but they are 3 stars because they are still better than other brands (doc marten, wolverine).
