Skechers for Work Women's Workshire Peril Steel Toe Boot

Comment

I dont typically write reviews but I want to help some sisters out. I had a hell of a time trying to find decent work boots and all the reviews I read on every boot I looked at were NOT helpful. So hopefully this one will be. I am a tile installer, Im on my knees every day and put SO much wear and tear on shoes. After my last boots were pretty gross I looked high and low for a new pair and came across these puppys. So heres my breakdown of these boots. Im typically a 7.5 for flats and an 8 for heels. I ordered a 7.5 and they were roomier than I wanted but they still fit fine. I was use to a tighter boot but after getting use to it and some cheap insoles (just to life my foot up a bit) they were totally great. THERE WAS LITERALLY NO BREAK IN!!! from day one these boots were SO comfy. Omg! The padding in the boot is like a little pillow. I never had ONE blister or sore feet!!! I was seriously thrilled. Even with being roomy and the steal toe they are seriously comfy boots. Ive had them since last September. They still look great and have held together so well! The leather isnt even close to exposing the steal, and all the seams are solid. Theres extra leather where you bend at the toe and the sole is nice and thick. It has been really hard for me to find a true womans work boot but Im sold on these for life. I will absolutely buy them again. They are comfy and sturdy and I couldnt ask for anything else....oh and theyre also kind of cute in an ass kicking way.

I bought a pair of these at a local shoe depot and got the 6.5. The ended up being too big and my feet slammed into that steel toe. I tried exchanging them for a 6 but couldnt find a pair but loved these boots so much that I ordered them here. The leather is a little stiff the first few minutes after putting them on but after that they are amazing! The memory foam makes a 12 hour shift a breeze. They have so far stood up to anything a barista can throw at them and then some. I slipped in a creek and dunked a whole foot, socks were still dry. I would absolutely recommend these to any hiker, employee, friend and strangers!

Right out of the box, super comfy, nice foot-bed, flexible yet sturdy boot. I ordered a size 8, and I wear a 7.5 in an Asics Gel Nimbus and 7 to 7.5 in other open toe shoes/heels/sandals/flip-flops, but for work boots, I wanted a little more wiggle room for the toes, especially if Im going to want, or need, to wear thicker socks. A few people have commented on the steel toes "cutting" into their toes when they kneel down, ie bending the toe bed, which yes, with certain boots, you can feel the metal in one way or another (some worse than others). The way to kneel in steel-toe boots is to NOT bend your toes as if youre in a plain sneaker, and instead, keep your foot/toes straight and put the toe of the boot right on the ground... hence why you see so many steel-toe boots with the fronts all dinged/scuffed/scratched up... its like a steel-toe ballet slipper... they stand ON the toe, they dont bend... get it? Overall, very happy with the quality and construction, especially for the price - and I fully expect my feet to stay relatively safe and comfortable in these, as they get scuffed up as we tackle the overhaul of our driveway, yard, etc, working around our house and all the other projects on the list.

Bought these boots for work, I spend several hours on my feet in a warehouse. The boots are light weight, fit true to size, but the leather is stiff and will take some time to break in, after a few days my skin had some blistering start around the ankles so I adjusted my socks to alleviate that until the boots are better broke in. The quality is good and they seem well made to last a long time. Dont buy them just for the memory foam, there is no arch support and I had to put insoles in them; I have high arches. After the first few hours wearing them at work my feet hurt, they are hard on the bottom and insoles are a must, the memory foam does nothing, thats why they only get 4 stars instead of 5. They show scuff marks easily or maybe thats just from working in a warehouse, the pictures attached show a pic of when I first got them and then pics with scuff marks from after a week of working in them. Overall Im happy with them as work boots.

These work boots are just ok. I work 12 hours days. And by the end of the day, my feet are killing me. Through to about midday through my shift I’m not doing too bad, but I can’t wait to take them off when I get home. I don’t think that the memory foam is thick enough. When standing or walking, you can feel your feet sink into the footbed, but then it’s like you are standing on flat concrete. If the memory foam was thicker, I think that these would be much better and feel better. It just feels like there is no cushion on it at all after you take steps or are standing. I would like to try them again if they are ever reproduced with thicker memory foam. But for now, they were pretty much a bust for me.
