Skechers for Work Men's Synergy Ekron Alloy Toe Work Shoe

My husband needs shoes for work with a steel or composite toe. He is a challenge to fit because he has very wide feet, so it’s hard to find good options. We spend up to $150 sometimes on shoes because it’s worth it if they work for him. But all the best brands still have the same issues. We are switching from KEENs now because they keep wearing out so fast and hold a bad odor, which is typical for work shoes like these.With these (and all other Skechers he has had), the fit is perfect if he goes up a half size (from 10.5 to an 11) AND get the wide width. The wide width is wide enough and he LOVES these shoes for work. We are always looking at great shoes that a comfortable, tough but not heavy and decent looking and hopefully don’t get too smelly! He says so far these are ALL of that plus a lower price than what we usually pay. We will see how long they last because he is super hard on shoes of any kind or any brand. But he said they are incredibly comfortable .. if they don’t get too smelly, I will love them too!

*pictures are of the same pair bought 4 months ago, just washed one shoe to show you its actual appearance.Other shoes: I tried 5-6 different models of Skechers that are safety-toe rated and this one was my top pick. I reviewed older models (~77055 Crankton first made 2014) and newer models (77183 Greetah made 2018?). The higher the style number, the newer that pair is and the shorter amount of time it's been dry rotting on a shelf somewhere. The Greetah is my #2 only because when I walk I can feel the jagged rubber bottom teeth, which are better for predominately uneven surfaces, and I work on flat hard surfaces, and the toe box/safety metal feels a little under padded for my toes. I have not tried the 77123 (Delleker) but I might try for my follow on pair.Product: Style 77068 BKCC, Black/Charcoal suede, red insole, alloy steel toe=ASTM F2413-2011. I/75 C/75 standards for impact and compression.Feel/cushion/sole/step/sizing:The shoe walls are very plush and make my foot feel snug. The sole is their memory air foam design, which will flatten while you're standing on it and expand back when you step. I definitely recommend a second inside sole if you REALLY want to feel like every step is like a pillow. Or an arch support sole if you need it. I purchased my normal shoe size and the shoe fits well. The toe box gets a little tight with my second insole, but that's expected and goes away once I squish them down from walking. Some shoes' safety toe piece cuts into your toes, this pair does not have it for me.Quality: I wear these shoes for 50hr work weeks, each day I spend few minutes on gravel/quarry stone and red clay, then the rest of the day on data center floors. Shoes have not shown any sign of deteriorating/ tearing/ flattening. There are reviews of the heel cushioning tearing from excessive thumbing the shoes on and off, the bottom soles separating from the rest of the shoe. Just check all those out and determine if your usage level will result in the same shoe failures as those people.Looks: The black suede scheme keeps a low profile for shoes. You could also find a neon green color scheme if that fits your work place. the suede washes easily, as shown in the pictures.Final recommendations: research the style/model # and how old it is, use Amazon wardrobe if possible to try 3 pairs at a time, wall around with mixed pairs on to see if you like the left or right foot's pair. Highly recommend a second insole of you like a plush sole feeling.

Like many of you, I have had the Timberland Pro shoes that are very similar to these. The thing with the Timberlands, they were incredibly comfortable right out of the box. I could wear them for 12-15 hours at a time & my feet wouldn't hurt 1 bit. They were spectacular for a construction site or driving or walking, whatever. The 1st pair lasted a couple years. Unfortunately, pair # 2 & 3, the soles cracked at right around the 4 to 7 month period. Obviously Timberland had a quality control issue. I know they have a good warranty, but I wasn't going to risk it on pair #4. So I bought these. The Skechers required about 8-10hrs to break in. Wasn't happy about that. My feet were hurting that day! They are great looking & are holding up great, HOWEVER, the right side has developed a squeak with every step. It is so annoying! They are good work shoes, looks fantastic & seem to be wearing well & the price point was really nice, but my next pair will be the Timberland's again. I'll deal with the warranty if I have to. These Skechers just aren't as comfy to wear all day as my Timberland's. However if you've read this far, your still interested in the Skechers. They are a very good work shoe. I can work a 12hr+ shift & my feet are fine, but for me, the Timberlands are a little more comfortable.

Very comfortable, price is good, will buy again, good for long periods of standingToAnd also cute.,slip resistant, good work shoe.

Estos productos son de calidad, cómodos y cumplen con todo lo que se dice....

جربت عدة شركات في أحذية السلامة، هذي أفضلهم خفيفة ومريحة

Hola buenas recomiendo 100% este tipo de zapatillas son muy buenas en mi opinión ,cómodas,calidad y buen precio. En mi caso paso depie la mayor parte de la jornada de trabajo y son muy cómodas con el tiempo recomiendo plantillas por el uso y desgaste de la misma. Las zapatillas aparte son muy duraderas por lo que parece llevo 1 mes con ellas y sin problemas sin duda volvería a comprar de nuevo. Las tallas o el tallaje es lo único que tenéis que tener en cuenta por qué yo tuve que remplazar el producto por otro ya que me quedaban algo grandes siendo mi talla en otro tipo de calzado.

Son muy comodos..

These are great. Smart and comfortable to wear all day. The memory foam insoles mean that they are toasty warm and well insulated against the cold.Good value. They fit well and they aren't too heavy. Haven't tested them in really bad weather yet, but they look well built and should protect my feet from getting soaked.
