FilaMen's Memory Workshift-m Shoes

As a tall woman who needs a 12 or 13 in shoes, it is HARD finding shoes that meet the specs I need for work (black, non-slip, wipe-clean, no soft or mesh uppers....) that also actually fit and are tolerable comfort-wise. I've lost track of how many pairs I've sent back because the sizing was way off or because they were as comfortable as strapping bricks to my feet.I bought a pair of these last year (Workshift-m, 10.5 M US) and FINALLY, a work shoe that works for me! I wish I could afford to order a dozen pairs in case they ever discontinue them.I had tried them in 10.5 4E Wide but those weren't proportioned right for my feet so had to return them as they were seriously uncomfortable. The regular 10.5 M size is just right though. The fit is good and with my own gel-insoles inserted, the comfort level is just fine, too. Just as important, I have never lost my footing in these so the non-slip soles are reliable. I ordered my last pair in Aug 2022 and even with wearing 8 hrs a day, 5 days a week, it's taken 'til now, a year and a half later, for them finally to be showing enough wear that they need to be replaced. I just ordered my second pair last week and the fit & comfort level hasn't changed so the $20 price increase was worth it. Very happy not to have to deal with searching for, ordering, and returning a bunch of pairs from other brands to find something that'll work. Thumbs-up to these Filas, please don't ever discontinue this style

Nice comfortable work boots good for about 7 months

Would I recommend the shoe? Sure, but you get what you pay for.The good: very lightweight and sturdier than expected for $40 shoes. Grippy as advertised. Comfy and true to fit. The sole is still firmly attached to the shoe after 4 months' daily work. The shoes have held their shape remarkably.The bad: definitely not leather - the outside is made of a tissue-paper thin layer of vinyl that started peeling after only 2.5 months. Water resistant at best. They would feel much better without the "memory foam" liner. No arch support.I'd buy them again.Edit: The original review was after 4 months. After a full year's daily wear, the sole is separating from the toe, but the soles are otherwise in excellent condition. The toe seams are in rough shape, and more of the vinyl has peeled off, but overall the shoes have held up well.

Great shoe for the price! Bought for work as needed slip resistant for bartender. Professional look too as I wear black pants and vest with crisp white shirt and bow tie. Comfortable and breathable. The memory foam adds comfort for those long shifts.Will be buying another pair!

This is the third time I’ve have purchased the same shoe. They last about two years through rigorous use. I have planters fasciitis and these shoes by their cushioned support, eliminates the pain.

This review is about my own personal comfort while wearing the shoe. I got these in yesterday. The slip resistant outer sole is there and everything else is OK. But I am hard to please - I have a wide right foot and an super wide, flat, left foot, so this is about trying to find the widest, most supportive. This is difficult, given that almost no shoes exist that are super wide, truly water slip resistant, black work shoes. Recently I've bought a couple of different shoes and five different insoles, in addition to my existing shoes. This Fila shoe (I ordered wide) is ok for comfort for my right foot. But not quite wide enough for the left( The shoe is 4E) I ordered a size larger as usual. The toe area is kind of snug. I think I'll go ahead and wear the shoes on alternating days - I replaced the insoles with Dr. Scholls insoles. The other brand I bought lately were New Balance 626. The XX wide in that shoe is actually a 6E. The NB is wide enough for my left foot - and I would say the comfort in that shoe is okay, but not spectacular. In the past, I've ordered Reebok Work N Cushion 4.0 in 4E - that shoe has been the most comfortable. Even though it's only a 4E - there is plenty of room and comfort. Reebok is the only shoe that for me is true size. I can order a 10 1/2, which is my size, but all other brands I need to order an 11. Unfortunately, Reebok for whatever reason does not keep it in stock anymore - the last one's I got were in February 2022 - there is no more. It seems that, given the reviews I've read, a lot of men are also searching for really wide shoes - but forgive them - they'd also like a comfortable shoe - that kind of shoe is hard to find. Really boggles the mind that manufacturers are not meeting those requests. I have also tried the NB fresh foam recently - in 4E - they were wide enough, and comfortable enough, but the problem was that they had too MUCH foam. Instead of calling them New Balance, it felt like I was Off Balance. I don't need a shoe where I'm floating around, feeling like I'm about to lose my balance.I've tried several Dr. Scholls insoles, because all the shoes I buy need the insoles replaced right out of the box with a gel insole to make them tolerable for myself.

Fast shipping, best price I could find and they fit great...will purchase another set in the near future.
