Skechers for Work Men's Cottonwood Elks Slip Resistant Shoe

Comfortable and slip resistant. They last a long time as long as you take care of them.

These shoes are of good quality and comfortable to wear. They are made of genuine leather, and my husband always buys them。

I always stray from these shoes to find something dressier for work, and end up wasting money. I do customer service and have a uniform policy. I need black shoes and these have always offered the most support, comfort, and durability. I have also never slipped in these.

Comfortable and cheap.

I have trouble finding shoes that fit, I usually get blisters on the tops of my hammer toes and on my pinky toe from wide feet. I am 6'3" 240 pounds, have hammer toes, high arches, wide feet (so I ordered size 12EEE). I just started a new job as a Waiter/Server at a new restaurant and Manager, so I put a lot of miles on my shoes, on wet greasy floors, and if my feet hurt, I get grumpy, which means I lose tips or don't want to work as much or as hard. It is very important to me that my shoes are good, to keep me in a happy mood and make me want to work more hours. And I have owned some very expensive shoes from handmade Danner boots, Cole Haan, Rockport, Salomon and Dansko to name a few, so I have no problem buying very expensive shoes. These Skechers Cottonwood Elks are very comfortable right out of the box! They are very roomy all over and have a large toe-box for my hammer toes. I got no blisters even on day one. (I did try a trick I learned from hiking: I wore thin nylon socks against my skin,or women's' nylons can work, and a thick sock outside.....this prevent blisters even in new shoes or long hikes). I like how stable these shoes are and how well they grip! They are very comfortable but also give me confidence with the large sole and good slip-resistant tread. I was extremely impressed with these shoes on day one. I also bought some Dansko Walkers which cost $140, and there is no doubt the Dansko are a more quality shoe and worth the money (more stable, form-fitted, less squishy and appear they will last much longer), these Skecher Cottonwood Elks are an extremely good shoe and I would highly recommend them!!!

Very comfortable

Purchased for husbands job as he needs waterproof and slip resistant shoes. Fits to size and we have re-ordered these many times. Cushioning on the inside lasts about 6-7 months.

First off, the shoe is comfortable and has a cushioned insole. It also appears to be made out of top grain leather so it hasn't fallen apart on the leather side. My biggest issue with this shoe is that the inside is lined with a type of mesh plastic that started falling apart about about six months of use. Im guessing this was used to improve sturdiness while lowering the thickness of the leather and I've seen it in other shoes more recently. The problem with it is the little plastic pieces that would come off of this mesh and would end up in my shoe and made it uncomfortable to walk on. The previous sketchers I had that were similar to these did not have this mesh. Hopefully Sketchers comes up with something more durable for support because if I buy a different pair and it happens again, I'm switching to a different brand.
