I needed brown shoes for work that are slip resistant, which are incredibly hard to find under $100. I usually wear a 9.5 and based on reviews saying they run large I ordered a 9. They were a little tight, but I thought I could tough it out. After a nine hour shift my toes were very cramped and sore, but I might have considered keeping and stretching them out.<br /><br />The deal breaker for me was that these shoes are not slip resistant at all. I work in a kitchen and every time I walked through water, even just slightly wet spots, I slid all over the place. I've worn many SR shoes over the years but these are the worst I've ever had. I will be returning them.
