I love these shoes. I have worn them to work every day for a year and they are still going strong! They run small, so order a size up. Great style, comfortable, and durable!

I wear size 9.5 4E and these shoes are too narrow and tight for a wide foot. They look great and feel great but do not come in anything wider than 4E. Very disappointing because I liked them very much.

I'm a chef in NYC. These are great non-slip shoes for the kitchen as long as you aren't in a messy wet kitchen. Your feet will get wet in those environments, but for clean working kitchens I wouldn't wear anything else.

I'm a chef and I am on my feet for most of the day. I have tried most slip resistant shoes from the major shoe companies. I just received these fresh foam 806 shoes about a week ago. I am pleased with the level of comfort these provide. I would like them to develop a water resistant slip resistant fresh foam shoe as feet tend to get wet in commercial kitchens.

It is a weird fit. Very little room in toe area. It is a tight fit and tapers downward in a way that made the shoe look defective.

Its a good, basic shoe to work in but make sure to buy good insoles because without that your feet are going to be hurting with the basic insoles that is provided. I would not buy this shoe again but since it was for work and I got it for free it wasn't too bad. No arch support is terrible especially if you are on your feet for long hours.

Only thing wrong with these is that there is absolutely no cushion. I had to put insoles in mine but they lasted a very long time.

The Shoes fit very well and are comfortable. Now the negative is I started to notice a litter box smell where ever I went I finally realized it was the shoes, they developed this smell after about two months, and it is gotten unbearable even after spraying with Lysol. I know shoes can get a little oder after a while but never anything like this where you can smell them across the room.

These are the slipperiest non slip shoes I have ever worn. They took several days of purposefully scuffing the soles before they weren't like walking on a slip and slide. They also run very small.

I love the shove had great arch support but it felt tighter then I expected and it’s not as comfortable fit as I thought it would be. Very light shoe in weight which is great .

I think the overall shoe would be perfect had the toe box been wider. When you work in a kitchen it is important to have comfortable shoes and room for your feet to swell some working in the heat and being on your feet for so long. Even though I ordered them wide, the toe box was too narrow and uncomfortable. A big disappointment, because I am a huge NB supporter.

Even though I bought my size (9.5) and asked for a wide show, they still feel tight.

These will not let your feet breathe. That is the only downside to them.

These are great for work as a non slip because they are stylish but the were not comfy. With that said I do think they were not comfy for me given how the are angled downward which caused my toes to hurt. If this is not an issue for you go for it they're easy to clean and they look nice.

The shoes are too small to fit my orthotics. If not for that I imagine they are pretty good shoes.
