Skechers Men's Cankton Steel Toe Lace Up

Love these shoes, perfect fit. They are a month old and I am a mechanic. They are comfortable, seem to be stain resistant to a point. No breaking in needed, just started wearing them with no problem. Considering how many miles I out on these shoes they seem like they are gonna hold up really well.

These fit really well. I’m a size 10, that’s what I ordered and they fit well. The box area, where the steel toe is felt a little tight on my toes. It’s a little narrower than my normal shoes, but after the second day of wearing them, I didn’t notice that they’re extremely comfortable, but they do feel a little heavy and a little more bulky than I would expect. I’ve warned them for a couple of days now and really like them my feet don’t seem as sore working in the shop on concrete all day.

I've had these 2 weeks now and for the most part they are pretty comfortable to wear all day. I'm not sure of the memory foam insole holding up for a long period of time. It seems to move around more than I'd like already. Also, they say these do well traction wise, and the first time I set foot on a wet floor I went all Bambi on ice in them but was able to catch myself before I fell. I have since walked on damp floors with care because I can feel them ready to let go of traction with 1 wrong misstep. I bought the wide size because all of the other Sketchers I have needed to be wide, but these feel like I could have gotten a normal width and they would have been fine. After 2 weeks of 8+ hour days on my feet in them they still look brand new. Other than the issues I already mentioned they seem pretty good, but time will tell how well they hold up.

To be clear, I purchased my shoes 4-6 years ago. I don't wear them daily, but on the weekends I do rehab construction and work on my homestead. My two pares have been great. I need the wide shoe for my wide feet, which can be tough to find in a standard tennis shoe. I really like the comfort of the shoes too. Sometimes I'll wear mime when just going out. Many of the cheap shoes use poor quality glue, be it cheap, water clean up, less VOCs, I don't know for sure. My older pair have done well I'm moisture, not coming apart like so many of my tennis shoes. I don't know how much sketchers has cheapened the shoes in the last 4 years. Online reviews suggest many manufacturers are cheapening their products leading to premature failure.

Now that I've had these for a month now, and wear them 12 hours a day 5 or 6 days a week, I feel confident they've had time to break in. Initially, they were a little stiff. I expected them to be a little tight, so I ordered half a size larger than regular sneakers, but I realized that appears unnecessary as there is plenty of room in the toe. After a couple of days I started to feel a seam in the liner that was bothering me across my little toe, and I was not wearing these every day yet, but I decided to press on to see if they broke in by wearing them daily and eventually I forgot about it. When I remembered I realized they were no longer bothering me. That was about a week. I've now worn them four weeks. I spray them with Tinactin deodorant after every use, because my foot gets fairly wet with sweat after 12 hours and I've previously had trouble with athletes foot. I know fungus can build up in shoes worn too often, and this can not only cause athletes foot, but also break down the material in the shoe itself. The shoe needs to dry out between uses. Also worth noting, the memory foam insole is comfortable, but not my preference. It is not however, removable, and there is insufficient space to double-up insoles. I have run in these a fair distance and short jaunts, and kicks, and side-stepping and have never felt the steel toe. The sole is stiff and squeaks on some surfaces, and walking through puddles causes no leaks. The top is tuff also, minor scrapes cause no damage. Of course YMMV, I wear these in a warehouse only and change in the car. They are a little dusty from the black dust in the warehouse, but no dirt or mud. Mud and salts can dry the material and cause cracking and rotting. How some have reported such damage so quickly I cannot say, but these appear to hold up very well for my usage, although I do believe the insole will be the first to go. Which is why I don't like memory foam for insoles. They are great for comfort for a large variety of foot shapes, but they are not as durable as a specific-shaped insoles. I plan on getting a black pair to alternate with these. The only desires I have in these is a composite toe that doesn't set off a metal detector, and a lower price. I ordered the beige style that is somehow twice the price of the black style. I don't know the difference as to why. $50 is outstanding, $90 is worth it, but why pay more? Update 6/14/24 After about six months the insoles finally crapped out. When I finally got around to ripping them out they came out easily, I guess the glue broke down over time. Now with new insoles they are fully functional again and the outer is still in good condition, see image.

These shoes are comfortable however the longevity is poor. The sole continues to detach from the side of the shoes. The best part is the slip on feature. However, I am not sure if it outweighs the problem with the sole detaching.

This might not be brief, but it will be worth it: At 6 months - 1 year I loved them (and wrote the list below). Some time after that, a hole wore through the heel of the soul, but I kept using them because the heel is fairly high off the ground. And at 20 months, they died. The first hole grew and another one wore through the toe of the soul. They are thrashed. Not good daily shoes. Good for 6 months - 1 year. I've updated what I originally wrote somewhat to account for the new information: 1. These shoes are comfortable! 2. I run (with my dog -- fast) in these shoes, they are that comfortable (but a little heavy). 3. No one can stomp on your foot and do you harm, and imagine getting kicked with them! Also, you could run away if you needed to... 4. These shoes are so comfortable, I routinely think I'm wearing my slippers and thus fail to swap them when I get home. I've caught myself many times realizing I wore them all day. 5. I made a mistake when I bought my first pair. I bought 10s instead of 9.5 to avoid hitting the steel plate during a run. Four months later I bought these 9.5 because they clearly accounted for that in the design. The 10s were too big. My feet were sliding around too much in those, even with pads in them. 6. They are roomy vertically so I doubled up some pads in the 9.5s thus increasing their comfort. Yet they remain roomy/comfortable. I never bump up against the plate. 7. You can put HEAVY things on them, I often hang drywall, and you can set it on your shoes feeling no pressure on your feet while keeping the drywall off the ground. 8. They are a tad on the warm side. Terrific in winter, and even good for walking in snow, but in the summer, on a hot day my feet will sweat. Not wonderful. They breathe, but there are tradeoffs. IE It's hard to breathe through a steel plate. So I can't blame the manufacturer. 10. The sole is not particularly flexible, it doesn't exactly conform/bend to your feet during a run, but I wouldn't think buyers of shoes like these would care. I got used to it, but it's worth mentioning in case others might (care). And that leads to my next point: 11. During a run, a sharp rock came up through the bottom of both pairs. I was shocked, the first time, because that had never happened in other shoes. And I suspect the rigidness of the sole may have contributed. They weren't destroyed by that, but if you're walking around a construction site, be careful. Safe on top, not on bottom. 12. I never thought someone stomping on my foot could do me harm until I dropped something heavy on my foot 2 years ago. Wow - ouch! So even if you don't do construction, these are a great upgrade to your personal security for that reason. 13. Even with the steel plate and sturdy construction, I don't find them all that heavy (anymore), but they are heavier and a bit clunky, runners will notice and it took some getting used to. Eventually my laziness, about changing shoes, won out and now I'm used to running in them. And I no longer view them as such a drag. For several months, I loathed running in them until one day I just forgot. 14. I don't consider them waterproof. Water resistant maybe, but don't sell your waders. Your feet will get wet if you submerge them. Especially after the develop holes in the bottom.

Very good quality, and very comfortable. I bought for my husband, and its true to size, comfortable to walk in (originally he wanted a new pair of shoes for house work, but they are so comfortable he wears them even out running errands). I bought these on a sale, so I am very happy with the qualitt of these for the price.

Los zapatos son cómodos,ancho, lo cual permite tener un mayor movimiento de los dedos y que no molestan las punteras. La plantilla es un poco blanda por lo que no estaría de más cambiarlas por un una plantilla que amortigüe mejor los impactos en el talon

It was great first 2 months after that the memory foam got ripped out
