"Bought 2 pair to switch them out weekly (since my husband heard you should let shoes dry out so they'll last), but soles wore out quickly. Only had them 5 months. Can't imagine how much more quickly one pair would've worn out had I not been switching them. Tops are still good though, compared to $40 safeTstep I used to buy. Maybe if I spend a little more I might get a pair that lasts top and bottom. :) At least with safeTstep I only bought 2 pair in one year. I work 40 hours a week in a restaurant kitchen with tile floors and do a lot of moving around and bending at my toes (which cracks cheaper shoes). I do have bunions, which is why (as a woman) I bought these men's shoes. Didn't need the wide width because these were roomy and comfortable. I would consider buying them again just for the comfort, but.... I think I'll go back to the other shoes and get bogo1/2off."
