The only shoes in this style that I've worn that actually have some tread. I spend a good bit of the work day walking to and fro, and these shoes have stood the test of time so far. Most of the other shoes in this style that I've tried wore out after only a month. These shoes are resilient enough for everyday use and abuse. I took a chance on these shoes and this brand, and I must say, I'm extremely pleased. Plan on ordering one size lower than you wear, these shoes run very large, I had to exchange my first pair for a smaller size. If you're looking for a pair of work shoes that can stand up to abuse, while being stylish and comfortable to boot, look no further!
