When it comes to safety shoes, they've been the same for a long time but these shake up the whole scene with a new design like everyone's favorite lightweight "H.D." shoes when they are out of work and wearing shorts.They are almost as comfortable as their non-safety-toed cousins but they meet those pesky safety standards that are required when entering some work areas.I'm not sure I would wear these every day in a factory where you are sometimes better off with ankle protection and would benefit from some old-school work boots but if you're in an environment where you have less industrial strain put on you and you just want to cover the bases when it comes to safety then these could be the perfect solution for you!I will wear these when performing training in industrial settings so I can be OK with other companies' policies while on their site.I wear size 13 and they fit me perfectly out of the box with no break in necessary. These are composite toes and not steel toes like many others have so there is less weight to carry around and they are barely noticeable.I will try to check in again after some use to give a durability update.
