FilaMen's Memory Workshift-m Shoes

I purchased my first pair about 8 years ago at a shoe store and I was happy to find these shoes are now available through Amazon. These shoes are very comfortable to walk in and look nice enough for a business casual environment. My previous pair lasted 7+ years working in an office environment, with occasional walks around the plant. Other work shoes I've owned were never so comfortable and never lasted so long. The new pair seems to be the same quality as I previously owned, so I'm hopeful the new pair will last just as long.

As a tall woman who needs a 12 or 13 in shoes, it is HARD finding shoes that meet the specs I need for work (black, non-slip, wipe-clean, no soft or mesh uppers....) that also actually fit and are tolerable comfort-wise. I've lost track of how many pairs I've sent back because the sizing was way off or because they were as comfortable as strapping bricks to my feet.I bought a pair of these last year (Workshift-m, 10.5 M US) and FINALLY, a work shoe that works for me! I wish I could afford to order a dozen pairs in case they ever discontinue them.I had tried them in 10.5 4E Wide but those weren't proportioned right for my feet so had to return them as they were seriously uncomfortable. The regular 10.5 M size is just right though. The fit is good and with my own gel-insoles inserted, the comfort level is just fine, too. Just as important, I have never lost my footing in these so the non-slip soles are reliable. I ordered my last pair in Aug 2022 and even with wearing 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, it's taken 'til now, a year and a half later, for them finally to be showing enough wear that they need to be replaced. I just ordered my second pair last week and the fit & comfort level hasn't changed so the $20 price increase was worth it. Very happy not to have to deal with searching for, ordering, and returning a bunch of pairs from other brands to find something that'll work. Thumbs-up to these Filas, please don't ever discontinue this style

So anyone buying slip proof work shoes like myself are probably working in a wet environment dealing with presumably food adjacent work.For me, it's a fishery. All my work shoes last roughly 90 days. These Fila shoes were a good price, took longer to break in then I'd like (about 3 weeks, were tight at the toes for a 9.5 Wide but got to shape in time).The pleather coating only started falling off about 80 days in or so, which for constantly having scalding hot shrimp oil, poached salmon water, or lobster fat on it was pretty good I'd say. The foam cushioning gave way after about 5 weeks but still offered good support for 8 hour shifts.Work shoes for under 70$ are never going to last longer then 4 months, once these broke in they're the second most compostable work shoes I've ever had. Not enough to buy another pair, I got mine for around 34-ish. However if the pair I replaced these with don't work out, I'm buying another pair if they're under 42$ and dear reader I suggest you do the same.The actual slip resistance was really solid too, light treads so nothing really got stuck in there. Stink resistant too tying back into the fact again, fishery work. The material is good at not absorbing water, oils, or scents.Anyone in food services should know that if it gets in above 4 inches of water or gets directly blasted with a hose though, they will stay soggy for about 4 hours. Otherwise they're great actually. Shoes are expensive if you're buying in this price range it's for comport not for a long, lasting relationship with some toe containers.

Nice comfortable work boots good for about 7 months

Very comfortable, sturdy, my new favorite work shoe

The shoes couldn’t handle several months of continuous wear, they started to fall apart. If your work is less strenous, this might work for you

Fits well comfortable, looks good and slip resistance. I work in a kitchen with three large Henny Penny friers. Plenty of grease to go around. Before I got these shoes I was "slipin and slidin". All is well now.

Great shoe for the price! Bought for work as needed slip resistant for bartender. Professional look too as I wear black pants and vest with crisp white shirt and bow tie. Comfortable and breathable. The memory foam adds comfort for those long shifts.Will be buying another pair!
