ReebokMen's Rb4041 Sublite Cushion Safety Toe Athletic Work Shoe Black

Excellent working shoes, ultra light weight, and very, very comfortable for a working shoe. You will feel like wearing your running sneakers. BUT! Extremely slippery on wet or oily surfaces.Luckily where I work the floor is free of water and very limited drops of coolant. But it's unsafe if you work on wet surfaces.

These are some fantastic work shoes. I bought them off the shoe truck in 2017 when I noticed a lot of co-workers wearing them, now retiring them for a new pair after 2 years in the warehouse.Lugging boots in and out of a sit down and stand up forklift all day can get tiring and even painful once the company starts requiring that mandatory 20 hours of OT at the end of the week. These things are so light weight, my top of foot pain has gone away. I'd actually gone jogging with them once...back in 2017.They have a decent amount of room in the toe area, never get any crowding. The cut-across design of the bottom of the shoe allows for extreme flexibility, meaning when you're squatting down to check that pallet label, the rear and sides of the shoe don't dig into your ankles as much. Pretty comfortable for an uncomfortable position.These things have kicked pallets, kicked boxes, kicked racks, forklifts and even a couple co-workers. I used the toe to drag pallets out on a daily basis, the mesh on top held up pretty well considering how wreckless I am with them.I tried a couple pairs of quality boots, a couple cheap pairs of steel toes from local department stores. These are much cooler and more comfortable than all of those. I'm a very warm mammal and get sweaty from time to time, switching from boots to these have eliminated that issue.The alloy toe means they're very light which is important if you're walking 15,000-20,000 steps a day while jumping in and out of equipment.I think two years is a bit longer than you'd want to stretch it, much of the padding in the heel had disappeared, but I wore these til the day my new ones were delivered with no issues.Adding an additional insole made these even more comfortable. I'm a big guy (240 lbs) so standing 10-12 hours, I need the extra cushion, but the included cushioning would probably suffice for those sit down forklift weeks.Gotta say, if you're on your feet all day and you haven't tried work shoes and have always been a boots person, you need to try these.

These steel toe shoes have been a solid choice for work. Right out of the box, they were surprisingly comfortable, with enough cushioning and support to get through long shifts without sore feet. The steel toe protection is solid, and the shoes feel sturdy without being too heavy or bulky.They’ve held up well over time—through rough surfaces, long hours, and all kinds of weather. The grip is reliable, and the materials are tough enough for daily wear in demanding environments.That said, after about a year of regular use, the original insoles started to wear down, and I noticed some foot fatigue. Swapping in a good pair of aftermarket insoles made a big difference and brought the comfort right back.

Good shoes comfort is good insole’s good light weight is great

While if this was a normal shoe from me it would at least get a 4 star review based on its Comfort, Perceived Durability and Materials Makeup.This shoe will only recieve a 3 star review because of one category Slip Resistance.Slip Resistance - This shoe claims slip resistance. I'm not sure what this is actually for whether its for dirt or whether it's for oil. Typically I see it for oil.(Just a heads up I write this first for the people who depend on this category for work. I do not hate this shoe and rather like it)I will say that this shoe on normal ground (just like your average shoe) grips great but the moment oil is introduced you will start sliding. I work in a manufacturing environment for food where cooking oil is always around.I cannot help but slip all over the floors of my place of work even with the claim these shoes make. I give this category a 1 out of 5Comfort - This shoe is pretty comfortable I would give it a solid 4 out of 5 in that. I had to buy wide as the toe area squished my toes on the first pair I bought.It hugs your shoe but it does have some space between the top of your foot and the top of the shoe. Even after tieing it tightly. Also the Steel Toe in this show is not uncomfortable which is a plus.Percieved Durability - I will say that from what I can see after wearing them for a week is that this shoe will be very durable. It wont be prone to the side walls stretching out due to the reinforcement on the sides. Definitely a 4 out of 5 on thisMaterials Choice - I will say that everything on this shoe feels mostly premium. The mesh is good and not cheaply made and the steel toe is good.The only thing I will say badly about this is that the bottom of the shoe sole does not feel premium and it feels more like foam than it feels like rubber. I will give this a 3 out of 5.Good luck on your purchase. I do actually recommend this product if you wont be working in an oily environment as these will definitely keep your feet safe and comfortable.
