Skechers for Work Men's Cottonwood Elks Slip Resistant Shoe

I’ve had many pairs of non-slick shoes and these are the first to last for about two years. They are very comfortable and are water proof, and will last you a while, worth the money.

After the "breaking in" period, the shoes works as expected. These were probably overkill for me in that I have a desk job in a professional environment. Still, I needed shoes that weren't too fancy but was budget friendly and would look good in an office setting, yet also be practical. The practical part, the slip-resistant design, works wonderfully as the lobby of my building, as well as the area I work on has tile floors that can get quite slippery when wet, particularly when people are trotting in from the rain. I haven't had any issue with skidding or sliding with these shoes at my office building compared to other shoes I've worn.Also, as pointed out, you may want to consider getting a half-size or one size up from what you normally wear. The shoes do have that extra tightness of boots and dress shoes. I did that; I usually wear size 10.5, but went for a 11, and it turned out great. Nice and snug, not too tight or loose.

The reason I didn't give them a five is because they really jacked the price up. Also I do not like flat soles. They resemble deep tread around the perimeter but revert to a flat sole in the middle. Non slip but allot less traction in the grass, dirt, rocks, or woods. I wear mine for work (office) and outside in the mud and dirt plus ride my KLR650 Duel Sport bike with them. They are however more comfortable than the Alley Cat's model because of the soft insert they incorporate into the Cottonwood Elks "City Slicker" work shoe. They need to cross the Alley Cat and the Cottonwood Elks to make a 5 star shoe in my opinion. Oh! they should make the sole thicker on both models. Just sayin...

The shoes feel comfortable!! They are really nice!!

I bought these to replace an old pair of Sketchers that had worn down after many years and just like those shoes, these are wonderful! Very comfortable to wear all day with good support.The fit was as expected for me. If you're looking for non-slip shoes that lean towards being more stylish than typical non-slip shoes, these are great. They work well with a variety of outfits and won't hurt your feet in the process. I've been wearing them almost every day for a few months now and they show no signs of falling apart.

I bought these for work where I stand and walk almost 80 percent of the time. They do fit very close to true size, so I did not have to go half a size up. Compared to my other Skechers, it is just a bit tighter but I did not lose any comfort. I don't see an issue if I were to size up a bit, but definitely don't go lower than your true shoe size. Materials are great as usual from Skechers, but this leather does appear to be the type that will have more visible creases over time. Overall, an excellent shoe and value at the price I bought them for here.

Been looking for work shoes that are made from real leather, that have good insides and souls, that will stand up to me standing up and walking my average 5 to 7 miles a day, all on concrete. Tried all the sneaker types, supposedly leather shoes and have had them all fail due to very thin leather if it was leather, and disbond at the souls or insides tear up at the heal.So far, these are holding up well, with no signs of problems with the leather or insides. The upper seems to be thick enough leather to not split, but also is flexing well with my stride. They seem to be well put together so far. The padded foot bed is comfortable so far.The slip resistant souls are good, but do collect small rocks.Comfort is good, with little break in time, about a day, and my feet were used to them. I can't speak to longevity yet as I've only worn them a few weeks, but so far so good. I'll update if these fail, or are lasting and wearing well. I have been going through shoes about a pair every 8 months to a year, with my last three sneaker types not lasting that long, so I really hope these last better.

I use these shoes in a warehouse environment where we move many packages about. They provide good foot protection when you drop a heavy box on you toe by mistake from a short height compared to just wearing sneakers. This is the second pair I have--the first I picked up several years ago from an outlet store.The shoes are quite durable, but once the layers on the toes of the shoes start to wear, they are subject to accumulating wear much faster. The same applies for the soles. There are some small tabs that make up the underside, and once one or two come off, the others around them will slowly start getting plinked away as well. The weird wearing is why it gets 4 stars, but only 1 star taken off because they are pretty tough otherwise and do a good job in an environment where any shoe would be getting 5-10 miles of walking wear even without the other tortures of the job.Edit 3/13/20:Since I've been continuously wearing the shoes for a year this time, I can see that it took less than a year to eat through the memory foam inserts in these (noticed the wear back in November, purchased end of last March). It's "okay" at this price, but just "okay" is 3 stars. I will take the time to look at other brands and find something that will at least last a year instead of buying these a third time right away.

fit as sized, very comfortable, look great

Bien que massives, elles sont légères, confortables.

Shape is very odd to wear as Formal Suit, not as soft as i expected for Skecher Dulex Walker

Es un muy buen producto son muy comodos pero no me quedaron como esperaba, no pongo en duda la calidad ya que es una excelente marca y se ve en el acabado del producto pero en lo personal no me quedaron es por problemas en mis pies

Very ugly looking Shoe. Looks very old fashioned. Sent back.
