This is the second pair in six years. They are sturdy yet comfortable. Good quality and easy to clean.

Good shoes. But they are so much heavier than the Reebok Zig Magistrates I wore out. They do clean up very easily and offer a lot of protection. Would have been 5 stars had they not felt as heavy as bricks.

I love these shoes! They are very comfortable and have optimal protection! They also look great and are easy to care for. For me, it’s great they come in EE sizes.
