I like these shoes. I wear a size 12 shoe and have pretty wide feet. These shoes fit me perfectly. I have the right amount of room in my shoe and they are comfortable. I can wear them all day and they are comfortable for the whole time. The shoes have a pretty solid aluminum allow toe and it is pretty tough. You can add a bit of force to them and it keeps its shape. I did not try to bend the toe but did put a lot of stress on them. The shoes are well made and are composed of mesh, rubber and aluminum. They are light and are easy on your feet. The shoes should last a while through normal use and will last being used light construction. If you use it in heavy construction they should last an ok amount of time, depending on what you are moving around in. This is a solid shoe. If you are looking for a light, comfortable shoe to wear at work check these out. They look nice, they do what they are supposed to do and will last a while.
