Skechers for Work Women's Ghenter Bronaugh Work and Food Service Shoe

Comment

I work in the food service industry for the public school system. I received these yesterday and I wore them all day to break them in for work that starts in a week. I wear an 8.5 in just about everything. These say 8.5 but they are definitely bigger then that. I do like them and after wearing them all day my feet didnt hurt at all. I am going to keep them but I will probably get some thick work socks to just make them a little snugger. EDIT UPDATE Is it too much to ask for a pair of shoes that last me at least a year? I have two jobs, I am a lunch lady for the school district half the week and I work in a fast paced retail environment during the other half. I am on my feet for at least 12 hours a day, with intermittent breaks. I am aware that feet need time to adjust to new shoes but when I first got these I found them very uncomfortable. They were too wide so I ended up tightening the laces just a bit and that was an easy fix. After the first week or so my feet hurt so bad at the end of the night my feet were throbbing and begging for a massage. So I spent 40 more dollars and got some quality insoles, the ones they come with are garbage. Then all of a sudden these were the most comfortable shoes ever but now I am up to spending about a hundred bucks for some shoes. Fast forward to seven months later, my feet are throbbing again. I havent had these for even a year and they are already broken and completely uncomfortable again. I know I could buy some more 40 dollar insoles but that would make the price of these shoes 140 bucks. If I am going to spend 140 bucks on work shoes, why dont I buy work shoes that actually cost 140 dollars? Would I have better luck? I am not sure, but I can tell you one thing, I wont be buying Skechers again. All hype, didnt work for me at all.

After wearing these for about a week I think I can give a review. I stand for about 6-9 hours at work without sitting breaks at my job as a barista. Ive spilled quite a bit of water and other slippery things on the floor, but these prevent me from slipping. The wide provides enough room for my bunions so I dont get blisters or aches from being too tight. My feet are always sweaty because Im a sweaty person, but they dont get too hot in these shoes. My complaint is the memory foam, which doesnt feel all too cushy. Its good enough to support me, but not enough to be standing on a cloud like the gel insert commercials make it out to be. So I added gel inserts, now theyre just fine.

These shoes are just what I needed, and about 10x more comfortable than the non-slip shoes I’d previously bought from payless. They look like a normal pair of sneakers, instead of the big, clunky nonslip shoes they sell everywhere else. My legs and my back feel pretty good after being on my feet for a 7 hour shift. My heels hurt a little bit after wearing these shoes all day, but I expect some sore feet no matter what shoes I’m wearing when working long shifts. These shoes were fairly comfortable as they came, but I added some insoles for some extra cushioning. Overall, great shoe that keeps my feet dry, comfortable and planted on the ground through my long shifts.

Im so happy with these shoes! I was looking for a comfortable non-slip pair and these are perfect! No longer will I fear a wet floor at work. Never again will I wait until the freezer comes out of defrost mode to pull out product. Yesterday, I stepped on a smooshed french fry on the floor with fearless disregard of the laws of gravity. And what I can only describe as utter defiance, I walked on ice cubes. As an added bonus, my feet dont even hurt at the end of a 9-10 hour shift. These may just be the most perfect shoe created for fast-paced restaurant style work. But I will have to wait to bestow that title on these shoes since I can burn holes into the bottom of a pair of shoes in a matter of months. So Ill have to wait to see how long these ones can hold out.

I normally wear Rocky brand shoes for work (bartender). I bought these for a light weight summer work shoe. I wore them last night for the first time and these are great. They look good, are light weight and my feet felt fine after 6 hours on a cement floor. These are non slip as well. I will be buying these again.
