Customer Reviews SKECHERS Work Oswald - Balder

prefer leather over man made uppers. doesn't breath. need half size

need to adjust your size of your products

As soon as I got them broken in the sole started coming off...at about 2 weeks. They were comfortable. I'm on my feet a lot...I'm a chef. So comfort is important. I've glued them about 3 times. Wish they were more durable.

Over all nice shoe for light work and casual wear. The regulr width is to narrow and could use some cushion for bottem of foot.Cant last 10 hours in it.

These show are light and feel good on my feet at first. Towards the end of my work shift they are fairly uncomfortable.

This is my second review of this product. My latest purchse is not near as pleasing as the last. The fit is different. I purchased the same size. I thought it was the same shoe it isn't. The fit is smaller. The old ones don't have air holes on the side that was the only change I noticed before wearing them. The fit is not what the old ones were. Maybe they will unsnug with repeated wearings we'll see. They might be good if you go up a size.

Using the Shoe Finder, I selected slip resistant, and toe protection. I thought I was ordering leather shoes with toe protection for work. Instead I got something like a pair of Crocs. Yard shoes only

Very uncomfortable the right shoe is to tight for the top of my foot I was hoping they'd stretch but no luck so far, it'd be better if I could've returned them but since I wore them I'm outta luck an if I go up a size they're way to big

I was hoping Sketchers had the high, Cushing soft sole for these shoes they have for sneakers. Appears big and wide in front and takes style away from it being so wide

I bought these for something waterproof to put on quickly to take the dog out in wet grass. They work for that, but I wouldn't want to wear these for any extended period of time. There is next to no padding in them. They feel like walking on boards and there's almost no arch support. The size 12 is a little too long and the 11 is too small. They are also very wide. Overall, they do not live up to Skechers comfort claims.

I used this pair for hospital work. Comfortable for an 8 hour shift. Easy to wipe down with disinfectant wipes after a shift in the COVID unit. Unfortunately, the sole started coming off prematurely.

these shoes are hurting the top of my toes. just not as comfortable as I had hoped for.

Having my Oswald-Balders 5 months and having the sole come off I didn't think that this didn't make for a good purchase.

I tried them out for a few shifts and they kept rubbing against the heel area causing a sore.

This is not for me as I have a narrow heel and walk out of the clog

Bought these for use in a commercial kitchen and routinely had to remove them 30-45 minutes into wear because they were so painful. Not sure if they just require more time to break in, but I've had them for a few weeks and I still can't wear them for an hour, let alone an entire shift.

This is my second pair and the shoes are cheap. It last less than a year, the non slip pads come off. If you wear it for casual wear may be fine, but using it for work they won't last.

I have been buying this shoe for about 6 years because they had the best balance of affordability, comfort, and slip resistance. I am a chef, have been in this business for almost 30 years and one of the main truths is that you must take care of your feet, as I am on them for up to 16 hours a day. I found this shoe some years ago and loved it, bought new ones every 6 months, because my feet are what get me through the day. When I bought my last pair I knew something was wrong the minute I put them on. They felt "cheaper" and didn't fit me as well as they have in the past. I wore them for a few weeks thinking I just needed to break them in and they went from bad to worse. My foot (size 12) is not supported well at all, feels like they are a size too big and my feet hurt after a 12 hour shift. I am the same weight I was 6 years ago and have no problems with other shoes in size 12. Also to note, the price increased, and the quality decreased. More than likely, I will switch to a different shoe company.

Good shoe, but really narrow fit. Hurts my feet after a few hours. I wish they made them available in half sizes.

These shoes are too big. Even at a size 9 they were too big for someone who wears a size 9.5 and 10.

I ware a size 8 men's and Skechers shoes usually fit well.

I reviewed these the first week I got them. Unfortunately I must retract my good review. The thin flimsy sole tears off the bottom of the shoe. I took them back and couldnt do anything so the store reccommended I BUY shoe goo and fix them. I did. Like 5 times. It keeps coming off. The shoes look nice and are extremely comfy, but the sole sucks (the bottom lining of the outside of the shoe)

Bought them because they were simple, slip-ons that I could wear at work, but the fit was too big. I need a shoe that I don't have to constantly be worrying will fall off.
