These are probably the most comfortable, flexible and lightweight work shoes I've ever used. However, they are not very waterproof, other than that, they wear well. I have worn them for 5 months without any problems and I feel that $50 for a pair of these shoes is satisfactory to me. I wear this pair of shoes for an average of 10 hours a day, and it gives me the feeling of lightness and comfort. Not at all like those heavy safety boots, I thought their weight was no different from ordinary shoes, I even suspected that their steel toe was not strong, but I was wrong, I accidentally smashed my foot while moving boxes last week, but I didn't feel anything on my foot! Overall, these shoes are good quality, comfortable, light and safe, but not waterproof.
