They are great! I work in a laboratory at a Refinery and we are required to have steel toe shoes. I have been waiting for Work Shape Ups with a safety toe! Very comfortable, easy to work in.

Amazing comfort in a safety toe shoe. They feel so light and comfy I forget I still have my work shoes on when I get home. The concrete seems to melt away under my feet.

I work 12 hour shifts on concrete floors and these shoes are a life saver. I have plantar fasciitis and these shoes take the pressure off my heels. Very comfortable from the start. Stable footing even with the rocker bottom. Will order another pair when other colors are available.

I love these shoes! I work in a factory and stand on concrete floors all day and these have been so comfortable. Zappos sent them to me post haste and I was so grateful!

I've never had a safety toe shoe that was still comfortable after two weeks of working in them. The toe is roomy and the arch has good support. No more holes in the toes of my socks! Very comfortable!

I bought this shoe about a month ago. It is very comfortable for an alloyed toe. It is wide enough to not rub your toes. Now I don't know if that is because it is to big or if actual make right either way I will buy them again.

I already own 2 pair of Shape-Ups so when they became available with a safety toe I had to buy them for work. These are the most comfortable safety toed shoes I've ever owned and I've been working where they've been required for over 30 years. None can beat Zappos price plus free shipping both ways! I placed my order in the morning and had my shoes the very next day! Thank you Zappos!

I ordered these shoes at my doctor's recommendation since he said the rolling motion would help take some pressure off of my metatarsal bones. Well, that may be the case, but they are so weirdly constructed that both my ankles rolled in which was thoroughly uncomfortable. I have totally normally shaped legs and have never had this problem with a pair of shoes bizarre -- if they didn't hurt my ankles now, they would certainly hurt them after wearing them for a day. A big disappointment.

Not good for over pronators! Anyone who has pronation issues such as flat feet like me should not get these shoes and beware of these type of shoes! They greatly exaggerate probation and actually make it worse! I had to force my to stay on the outer edge which resulted in sore ankles and very sore feet! The soles of the shoe are very narrow, not the shoe itself, but the sole is tapered in and is highly unstable, and not in a good way. I have worn the two days and have almost rolled my ankles 3 times. They are pretty tall, and that combined with the narrow soles, it just a matter of time before you break an ankle. I had a pair of MBTs for 2 1/2 years and loved them. Yeah they're more expensive but when with how much I'm on my feet at work, they are more than worth the money! MBTs will always be my choice from now on!

I always buy Skechers safety shoes because they are light and very comfortable to wear for 11 hours straight. I just wish they had more colors to choose from.

I spend a lot of time on my feet and I am quite sensitive to breaking in new shoes. I tried Dansko's before going to these shoes and I will not go back. No longer do I come home with the soles of my feet feeling like they're on fire! These shoes are very comfortable. At first I had to get used to the ability to swing back and forth on them. You definitely feel like you're standing on something very pliable, but in a good way. I wear orthotic inserts so I can't say too much on the support side. The slip resistant soles are a life saver! I will say, however, that I do come home at the end of a long day with white splotches on my toes that are a little numb. I think this has something to do with the steel toe, but I'm not really sure. That's my only complaint.

As of right now, these are the best work shoes I can find. That said, I do wish the tread was a bit different. I need these for more than just work, and the tread picks up every minute piece of dirt and mud and snow. I might not slip on the original tread, but I've ice skated plenty of times on the debris it picks up.

I work on top of airplanes all day long and need soles that do not allow me to slip. These work perfectly with their grippy-soles. As for the "booty-benefit" Shape-ups claim to provide, you need to teach yourself to walk heal to toe in order to feel any difference. I have yet to see/feel any difference after wearing them for 2 months.

I have to wear steel toe for work and being on my feet for 8 to 10 hours a day I was starting to experience severe foot pain. Not just sore, I mean I could hardly walk after work. Then I found Skechers Shape Ups safety toe. Thank you, Skechers. After a week the pain is gone, I still get sore but no pain. I love these shoes! Please don't stop making them!

Love these shoes! As a woman who works 12 hour shifts normally and 16 hour shifts quite often (standing and walking on cement floors) who has had 2 broken metatarsal and was getting shots in the heels for 2 years for plantar fasciitis, I have to say these shoes are awesome! No more shots and no pain in my feet at all. I can actually walk normally after my shifts and not limp! People who say they roll their ankles must have week ones because I can walk with my dogs on woodsy paths without rolling an ankle. These have also toned up my legs a lot! My first pair has lasted 18 months but I am ordering a new pair before my company reimbursement ends for this year...awesome shoes! Oh yeah...I also have no regrets ordering from Zappos...quick shipping and easy returns.

I have to wear safety toe shoes at work. I also have plantar fasciitis. Shape Ups are the best invention since sliced bread, as the expression goes. I can walk again! I wear Shape Ups all the time. I did order these a 1/2 size larger than my normal size and they are a little looser. The toes are nice and round (some shoes are not) which is a very good thing. Just awesome and worth every penny.

If you work on concrete 14 hours a day and have arthritis, this is the shoe for you. I was getting to where I could hardly walk after a days work till I found these. A lot of people were complaining because they said Shape-ups...well, they shaped up my health and kept me walking. It cushioned my joints and I hope I can always find a pair of these as I have to have steel toes at work. I can no longer find them in stores though. This is a shame for people like me. I love this shoe for work! Skechers, I could not make it without this shoe! Please do not quit making them.

These are excellent work shoes that are comfortable. They are very supportive for my feet as I do quite a bit of walking. They also fulfill my job's requirement of having steel toe protection. Skechers rock!

I am so pleased with my first experience with Zappos that I will use them to order all my shoes. The process of ordering was painless! some web sites are hard to navigate, but not Zappos. I ordered my shoes and a few days later, they were at my door. Zappos seems to realy care that you are happy with your order and are willing to work with you to make sure you are pleased with your order. I highly recommend the kind people at Zappos to anyone shopping on the internet!
