They really don't slip or skid! I have another pair of walking sneakers that are scary (very slippery! ) to wear walking when the pavement is damp or wet. I have an event coming up where rain is predicted and I'll have several miles to walk. I was going to spring for some expensive Cloves non- slip sneakers but they wouldn't be delivered in time. So I put these on this morning, sprayed water all over the sidewalk and street, and tried them out. They were WONDERFUL! No sliding or skidding, lots of traction. Went for a 3 mile walk over wet, damp, and dry pavement and it was such a relief to feel so sturdy! The fit is just right- I'm an 8, usually wide, with bunions. That can make an otherwise great shoe a horror to wear because I need that wide toe box. Which AVW has! Great value for the money! ***UPDATE-- over a month later they are still comfortable and non-slip. I will update if this changes. Read more
Profession: Food Manufacturer Time spent in shoes daily: 5-7 hours, 5 days a week with very minimal sitting. Also used as my every day sneaker. I have had these shoes now for several months and I still do not have any complaints. I have used these shoes for outings and to work in. I did a lot of research before purchasing these. I was trying to find shoes that would meet kitchen safety, and help my feet pain during long periods of standing and these do just the job. My feet fit comfortably with no pressure on my toes (which was a major problem with my last pair of shoes. ) Something to think about is how big the midsole of the shoe is. It is cushioned but makes you feel tall and with that means a little practice on getting used to the balance. (I since have) I am glad I took the chance on these instead of 180 dollars out for something that might not have worked for me! Also, if you use these at night to walk in, the reflector on the heel definitely does it's job. (Safety bonus!) 5 stars for durability and sturdiness. They are worn daily but still look like new with no effort on my part to maintain them. Great grip! Read more
The fit is great. I ordered a 6. They are lightweight and seem durable. They are slip resistant. My feet feel awesome with no pain when I wear them. Read more
Perfect for long hours of walking or standing, and they provide good support and slip resistance. Stylish design and true to size—very happy with this purchase. Read more
The slip-resistant tread performs reliably on wet kitchen floors and tiled surfaces. While the aesthetic is strictly utilitarian, the memory foam insole provides sufficient arch support for long shifts on hard surfaces. The mesh upper allows for adequate ventilation, preventing overheating during high-activity tasks. Read more
The media could not be loaded. I am very skeptical about ordering shoes ,but I started a job in the school kitchen leaving me needing good work shoes . I went to a shoe store and tried on several . I did not love any there but bought a pair or hey dude work nonslip . I have a bad foot so I wear only cushioned shoes normally . Needless to say they were killing me after a week . I ordered these and I love them . They worked perfect for me . I absolutely would order again . I usually get a size 10 in shoes to give me breathing room so that’s what I got . I could have did a 9 and a half just fine , but just tightening them up they worked just fine . Only thing I’ll say is they are not as wide as a normal wide fitted would be , but also not an issue . Good shoe ! The hey dudes cost $76 and were not good at all compared to. I’d recommend these for overall daily comfort and perfect nonslip at a much better price and great quality. Compare good to my hokas . Read more
I’ve had these shoes for about 6 or so months now and have worn them every single day for work (roughly 8-12hrs per day). They are comfortable at first, but slowly the inside fabric has worn away. The plastic backing behind your achilles has popped out and the plastic piece by your heel is exposed. They’re becoming more and more uncomfortable with ever shift. I’d say they’re fine in a pinch, but not long term. Read more
Good shoe for walking all day on a hard surfaces, got the black color so it's easy to keep clean, I do where them with a thick sock, I wear an 8.5 but these a a little loose but the sock makes them comfortable. If you get the wrong size you can return it as long as the shoe is not used. Read more
