Men's Cankton Steel Toe Construction Shoe - Electrical Hazard Rated, Memory Foam

Look.... When i needed new work shoes, I said to myself, "im older im grown its time to get something nice" I TRIED. I tried so dang hard to spend more money. Danner, thorogood, keen, timberland...i tried so many "premium" brands. There was a few I really wanted to work, construction and materials was top notch. In the end however...the fit just wasnt comfortable. Especially the wide aspect. After seriously a dozen different shoes and brands I saw these on sale and pulled the trigger. First if all...the fit is amazing. One of the most comfortable reinforced toes ive ever hand. They are nice and wide if you get wide and the foot bed is just heaven. One important thing. My gait is a little messed up, I walk off the sides of my heels, I always wear the inner heel part of my shoes down quicker then the rest. For that reason the sole materials was important to me. Alot of shoes these days are doing EVA soles to keep cost down and because its comfortable but it wears out extremely quick. A quality shoe will still use rubber but maybe incorporate a layer of EVA. If you want longevity in shoes you really want nice thick rubber (vibram rubber if possible)polyurethane also holds up well. You just really dont want all EVA. What alot of cheap shoes do is like 95% EVA foam and a very very thin like 1/8 inch or less of rubber. Im happy to report these have a nice layer of rubber. The gray is a layer of EVA but then its a nice thick layer of rubber

I found these by happy coincidence, having owned a pair of D'lux walkers. While looking for a new pair, I found these. These shoes have a steel toe perfect for warehouse work or anything requiring that extra protection. They are also smaller than most boots, and lighter, which is a huge plus for someone on their feet 8-10 hours. The fit is perfect, and the memory foam is so comfortable, which was important for me, whether working or just walking. They are breathable too, thought not the best, but they get the job done - and my feet sweat a lot. These have laces, which is probably good, though I prefer skechers without.

I got tired of my normal athletic shoes going bad from the stress of daily use on the job, so I went looking under the search term "durable work shoes." (Looking via Duck and Swisscows and Qwant, mind you, not via Amazon's own search fields, which, inexplicably, continue to be left as almost 100% useless.) Inevitably, nothing that was classified as a.) a shoe and b.) "durable" was available without a steel toe, so I relented and bought these. For the record: The heaviest thing I'm likely to drop on my feet is a disk of Lanthanum/Telluride alloy (or maybe Silicon/Germanium,) that's roughly the size, shape and weight of a U.S. Nickel, so I'm not really in need of steel-toed shoes. But if you want "durable," apparently you have to get the Medieval Class toe box, so I just bought them. I don't know if it's just the steel toe or a combination of that and the heavier-duty rubber and upper material, but these shoes are seriously heavy. Not a big problem if you like the added exercise, but it would be great if shoe manufacturers would offer a version of the exact same work shoe with all of the exact same materials, but without the mëtal hardware. But I knew that going in so... These are excellent shoes despite the weight. I have wide feet and they're available in EE width (if they hadn't been I simply would not have bought them, because "you can't be cool if your feet are uptight," as the old Hush Puppies ad used to say.) They're built like tanks but are perfectly comfortable nonetheless, and I'm on my feet roughly 80% of every nine-hour workday. I got my normal size and width, and even with a pair of podiatrist-prescribed orthotic inserts and Odor-Eater pads, they fit perfectly. When I put them on in the morning the toe areas do feel tight, but the inserts settle within minutes and they're a perfect fit thereafter. So be aware that if you do not use any kind of insert these might be a little roomy. The laces are also heavy-duty and the eyelets for them allow you to tighten them without messing with the loop-by-loop finger-pull thing - but neither do they let loose too easily - all of which I like lots. Given the excellent price, durability and fit, I'm really happy that I picked these. Time will tell how well they'll hold up, but I've been wearing them on the job for two months and they still look and feel brand-new. I'm on hands and knees and crawling into the guts of systems and lab equipment frequently, and though the inevitable dirt is there, I don't even see so much as a scuff on the outer surfaces, anywhere. Good shoes, if seriously heavy in the weight class.

These shoes are comfortable however the longevity is poor. The sole continues to detach from the side of the shoes. The best part is the slip on feature. However, I am not sure if it outweighs the problem with the sole detaching.

Great for working in a warehouse. Very protective. I can kick heavy stuff without hurting my foot if I curl my toes slightly. I've used my shoes to avoid pinching my fingers when setting down heavy objects, to get pallet jacks unstuck from pallets by holding the pallet in place with my foot, and to get old rusty latches on delivery vans open by kicking the lever. I know from experience that the steel toe can support over 1,000lbs, just don't tell my boss how I figured that out.... I'm not sure how protective they are when it comes to stepping on nails, but I'll let update my review if I find out! (Stepping on nails sticking up out of boards isn't exactly a rare occurrence in warehouse and construction environments) They're surprisingly water resistant. Stepping in puddles, walking through snow, and even pressure-washing vehicles doesn't get my feet wet. They're quite grippy, and the tread on the soles doesn't seem to wear down. While wearing these, I've only ever slipped on ice and soapy concrete, never on wet wood, concrete floor, metal, etc. They're certainly not comfort shoes, but they're comfortable enough for work. Better than broken toes! They're not light, but they don't feel particularly heavy. I'm still fairly agile while wearing them, they're not great for running, but I can run in them comfortably and without tripping. It's quite comfortable to rest one foot on top of the other while sitting, since the shoes don't bend too easily like sneakers do. They're very durable, aside from the memory foam insoles, which develop holes pretty quickly, although you really can't feel the holes. In my experience, they last about 8 months, which is decent, considering they're relatively inexpensive and stand up to a lot. My first pair had a bit of peeling rubber on the front and the holes in the insoles had gotten quite deep, so I replaced them, although they're still wearable as a backup option. I just bought replacements for my second pair, which are actually in pretty good shape other than the inside of the left shoe wearing down, causing the hard protective layer inside to rub on my heel and cause minor discomfort while walking. The sizing seems accurate. I have fairly wide feet, and wear size 13 in most brands, sometimes 14 (eg, Under Armour). The size 13-Wide fits perfectly, with just enough room for my toes to not be squished together like they are in most shoes. 9/10, would recommend these for anyone with the risk of injuring their feet at work.

Picked up while they were half off. First impression is that they are comfortable with the memory foam on the soul and the steel toe as well as the rest of the build quality seems serviceable. If you can get them at the right price I'd say pick them up I will report back if my opinion changes after wearing for a few shifts doing residential tree Service.

This might not be brief, but it will be worth it: At 6 months - 1 year I loved them (and wrote the list below). Some time after that, a hole wore through the heel of the soul, but I kept using them because the heel is fairly high off the ground. And at 20 months, they died. The first hole grew and another one wore through the toe of the soul. They are thrashed. Not good daily shoes. Good for 6 months - 1 year. I've updated what I originally wrote somewhat to account for the new information: 1. These shoes are comfortable! 2. I run (with my dog -- fast) in these shoes, they are that comfortable (but a little heavy). 3. No one can stomp on your foot and do you harm, and imagine getting kicked with them! Also, you could run away if you needed to... 4. These shoes are so comfortable, I routinely think I'm wearing my slippers and thus fail to swap them when I get home. I've caught myself many times realizing I wore them all day. 5. I made a mistake when I bought my first pair. I bought 10s instead of 9.5 to avoid hitting the steel plate during a run. Four months later I bought these 9.5 because they clearly accounted for that in the design. The 10s were too big. My feet were sliding around too much in those, even with pads in them. 6. They are roomy vertically so I doubled up some pads in the 9.5s thus increasing their comfort. Yet they remain roomy/comfortable. I never bump up against the plate. 7. You can put HEAVY things on them, I often hang drywall, and you can set it on your shoes feeling no pressure on your feet while keeping the drywall off the ground. 8. They are a tad on the warm side. Terrific in winter, and even good for walking in snow, but in the summer, on a hot day my feet will sweat. Not wonderful. They breathe, but there are tradeoffs. IE It's hard to breathe through a steel plate. So I can't blame the manufacturer. 10. The sole is not particularly flexible, it doesn't exactly conform/bend to your feet during a run, but I wouldn't think buyers of shoes like these would care. I got used to it, but it's worth mentioning in case others might (care). And that leads to my next point: 11. During a run, a sharp rock came up through the bottom of both pairs. I was shocked, the first time, because that had never happened in other shoes. And I suspect the rigidness of the sole may have contributed. They weren't destroyed by that, but if you're walking around a construction site, be careful. Safe on top, not on bottom. 12. I never thought someone stomping on my foot could do me harm until I dropped something heavy on my foot 2 years ago. Wow - ouch! So even if you don't do construction, these are a great upgrade to your personal security for that reason. 13. Even with the steel plate and sturdy construction, I don't find them all that heavy (anymore), but they are heavier and a bit clunky, runners will notice and it took some getting used to. Eventually my laziness, about changing shoes, won out and now I'm used to running in them. And I no longer view them as such a drag. For several months, I loathed running in them until one day I just forgot. 14. I don't consider them waterproof. Water resistant maybe, but don't sell your waders. Your feet will get wet if you submerge them. Especially after the develop holes in the bottom.

Feels great on the feet with just the standard insoles however I recommend adding an additional pair prior to wearing them out of the box. I went with a basic memory foam pair of insoles from Walmart but they can be found on Amazon. Keep the original insoles in the shoes do not remove! Just add another pair on top of course make sure the second pair is cut/measured correctly. I deal with industrial chemicals nightly and they’re constantly getting on my shoes so they don’t hold up as long but I get a good 6-8 months before having to buy new ones witch for me it’s worth it. Security guards/officers should look into these as a replacement for boots.. much more comfortable walking 8-12 hours and they are steel toed which is a plus. All around if you want something durable but not combat looking these are it.

Medium heft Good insole Worth the money
