PUMASafety Elevate Knit Black Low ASTM SD Work Shoes Safety Toe Metal Free Fiberglass Toe Cap Slip Resistant Men

These shoes are lightweight, comfy, high quality, and understated. If possible, I'll never wear another safety shoe!I originally got the air twist low version (Green/Blue color) in July 2017 from my company's shoe truck and I fell in love. That pair lasted until October 2018! I'm so glad to have a new pair in a more simple color! Anyway, here are my thoughts:PROS-They dont need to be broken in. They are comfy straight out of the box. No blisters!-I have hyperhidrosis so my feet sweat excessively, but I saw no significant breakdown in the shoe structure throughout the year.-Even in rain you'll stay dry... Unless you are standing in puddles that are deeper than the sole/platform.-They are roomy in width.-They are very flexible and give you full range of motion.-They're breathable-The inside sole is easily removed for custom orthotic insertsCONS-No ankle support (obviously)-Don't do as well on ice or slippery surfaces-Included laces are too short (in my opinion)-If you're outside in the yuck all winter, you might want to make this your summer shoe. I dont think they would do well in snow/slush.

Quick note: they didn’t have .5 sizes and I usually wear a 10.5. I ordered a 10 and they were too small. I sent them back and got an 11. They fit greatI needed composite toe shoes for work because I go through metal detectors throughout the day. Also I walk about a minimum of 5 miles each day so I had to get something comfortable.I researched for a day or so because I wanted to be sure I got something good. To sum it up these shoes checked all my boxes. They are comfortable, light, good for lots of walking, and look stylish. I wanted something that looked good also because I work around office people. Plus I’m a pretty swagged out guy.I will say I have never really tested the integrity of the toe by dropping anything heavy on them. I just got safety toes because I’m required to. But every now and then I kick something or stub my toe and I don’t feel a thing. Peace and love

Ok. My back and feet have always hurt. I'm a type 1 diabetic so I've got neuropathy too. I'm a CNC Machinist and work 10-12hrs a day 6 days a week. I've worn new balance, Merrell and wolverine in safety toed shoes. New balance WAS the most comfortable but aren't in the same class as these Pumas. And they put Merrell and wolverine to shame. Out of the box I was amazed! Very very comfortable. So comfortable I'm switching running shoes to puma too. P I would give five stars but the tongue isn't connected to the shoe which is a must for Machinists and they are small even though I ordered a half size bigger. I read the reviews where people said get a whole size larger but they do not offer a half. They have great traction on oil and the insoles are really comfortable. I ordered orthotic insoles and tried them but they aren't any better. They look sweet too. I got a pair of black/black new balance 990v4 a couple of weeks ago and i would wear these black pumas over those. So order big and don't worry.

Best pair of work shoes I've owned. I feel like I'm walking on air all day. I'm usually a half size, but went up a size and they fit great. Would definitely recommend.

I’ve owned Red Wings, Keens, Merrill’s, Reebok’s and a couple other safety shoes and these are by far the most comfortable shoe. Out of the box they were comfortable and there was no need for a break in period. They do run about a size too big but besides that I have no complaints. I can’t speak to longevity quite yet but my Red Wings(supposedly the best safety shoe) only lasted 4 months so I don’t see why these can’t match or beat that.

Sort of stiff with heel slippage the first week. Loosens up and feel great after that. I have to have EH rating for work and usually my feet sweat like a whore in church. These are much better than bulky boots and much better for foot temperature.

Fit great. Very comfortable. I have never owned another pair of work shoes/ boots that have smelled so bad. I am a sparky, I climb around attics and ditches all day. These shoes could not keep up. Within a year the sole started to detach. I like pumas, I really wanted these to work out.

I am a bit upset that Puma is not putting in a sticker for my hardhat with the work gear I'm starting to buy from them. Aside from that,,,, ,,,, ,,,,, "hands down", the first pair of Puma boots I bought last year have been the most reliable and comfortable boot Ive owned to date, (out of >30yrs. of intense labor in the construction industry and oilfields. I'm expecting the safety shoes I've purchased to be just as considerate to my shifts as the Conquests
