Initial appearance and fit are great. Unfortunately almost half of the color came off the left sole, and a bunch off the right the first time I wore them, and it keeps coming off - just like peeling paint. Sometimes the stuff is laying on the ground where I was just standing!

I love Puma Californias! These are great all-around shoes and I could not be happier. The color is pretty rad, too.

I have worn other Skechers Slip-resistant work shoes before and these are the worst. They took much longer to break in and the treads wore bald in places after 2 months. I use them for work and typically spend at least 10 hours a day on my feet. Other Skechers models have lasted me up to 2 years, but these are wearing out at 4 months. I wouldn't recommend this pair to anyone.

These shoes are awesome. I wear a 13 and sometimes a 14. The size 13 was great fit with a smidge extra room. A co-worker has older Skechers steel toes and his are much heavier than these. The toe is tough but does not interfere with daily wear. I would highly recommend these shoes to anyone...except people I hate.

Best looking steel toe sneaker style shoe I could find. Very light weight and comfortable. Coworkers have complemented on the shoe and some have even bought themselves a pair. No complaints. And of course as always, Zappos did a great job with the order. Thank You Zappos!

I ordered these steel toe shoes for my husband. We have ordered Skechers steel toed shoes before and have had great luck with them. This time was no exception. Lightweight and comfortable to wear. My husband is on his feet for over 10 hours a day 5 days a week so he needs comfort and safety. These offer both. We would definitely recommend them to anyone needing a safe and comfortable shoe.

These are the most comfortable work shoes I have ever had. The only problem I have with them is the top of the toe wore out very fast from crawling under machines but nothing a little duct tape couldn't fix. I would buy them again!

This is a very comfortable work shoe. The lightweight safety toe is great, you don't even realize these are work shoes. One major flaw is the eyelet tore off when tightening the laces. This happened on both my original pair and on my replacement pair. If this shoe had a solid ring/hole type eyelet, they would be perfect.

The shoes fit well and are quite comfortable. I had the shoes for about 2 weeks and one of the lace eyelets broke on the left shoe. A little super glue fixed it, but I didn't expect that from a brand new shoe. I won't buy this brand again.

Shoes fit great feel great are lightweight. I work in a warehouse. It is a smooth surface concrete floor and it is dusty. These shoes do not give a lot of traction. They are not a rubber sole like a sneaker.

Shoes are fairly comfortable and light weight. However, this shoe isn't actually low cut as the picture seems. The shoe comes very high up on the ankle, somewhat like a 6" boot would. I wouldn't have purchased these for that reason if I was in a shoe store. But shoe is fairly comfortable.
