Skechers Men's Work Hartan Steel Toe Slip-On Shoes

Fit as advertised, quality work shoes.

3 month review - I LOVE them. I wanted a slip on shoe for work in the office. These are great and get more comfortable with time. While not truly a "slip in", I can slip them on just fine.

I have had these before and love the shoes.I got them for work.It takes a little time to get them broke in but will last for awhile. Definitely worth the money.

I have to say I will swear by your product. No other shoe or boot last longer for me. I’m awful on most all other footwear because I do flooring for a living. Your shoes and boots by far outlast any other. I also wanted to let you know that i personally tested out the steel to slip on boot myself not intentionally mind you but I was changing breaks on a vehicle that fell off the jack and the roter landed on my toes. If it weren’t for your steel toe boot I had on I would’ve lost 3 of my toes. The steel toe not only saved my toes it didn’t even phase the steel toe what so ever! Not only was I so very thankful for your product I was amazed of the job they did saving my toes. I’ve been wearing your shoes for bout 10 yrs or so now and will continue to. I tell everybody I’ve talked or showed my shoes that sketchers are the best there are and would refer every time. Thanks for being awesome! Love me some sketchers! Your forever fan! Glenn Fuller

After I started overnights at a warehouse job in '21, I quickly found myself aching by the end of each shift and in need of a new shoe that would offer proper support for 8 hours of freight hauling across concrete floors. At that time, I found this slip-on offering by Skechers at a local retailer.These met all my sizing and comfort requirements, provided good traction, and offered a steel toe that I often forcefully and inadvertently banged into palettes with no consequence; that steel toe also gave me the ability to easily handle heavy boxes by wedging my shoe underneath a bottom edge to give myself 3 points of contact for lifting. These shoes did just the trick I needed, and lasted me the duration of the job, though were showing signs of wear by the end (about 4 months).A year or so later, and pleased by my prior experience, I decided to get a new pair to aid my job prospects, and to my chagrin, could not find any at local retailers, including a dedicated Skechers outlet. A search on the Skechers website at the time also turned up empty.I wound up finding the exact same model here on amazon, and ordered another pair a half-size down to accommodate some lost weight as well as more casual wear, as I had chosen a deliberately oversized pair before in order to allow room for two pairs of socks (and thus, extra cushion). As the oversized pair had worn out, the amount of slack in them had gotten to be problematic even with extra socks on, giving uncertain purchase on the floor and developing a proclivity for ankle rolling.This new pair was more snug, though definitely not uncomfortably so, and offered better stability, but began to wear out faster than the ones I owned prior. Within probably two months, the stitching around the exterior of the toe cap began to rip out, making them much less useful during a round of job interviews I had coming up, and which had not happened to the older pair even after being used on the job and later beat up at home doing yard work. Like the old pair, these new ones also demonstrated a tendency to roll the ankle, as I found using them outside in uneven terrain.I suspect these issues I encountered contributed to their scarcity at the retailers in town, and I will not likely be getting another pair of them for the cost and low lifespan unfortunately. While they do offer a good deal of convenience and job-site versatility for a slip-on shoe, I think the slip-on design's elasticity and lack of ankle support works against other features of the design, such as the high-traction tread and front-heaviness of the steel toe; while lighter than a typical boot, these shoes tend to put their weight on the top of your foot instead of anchoring to the leg, which can sometimes start to wear on the ligaments after a long fatigued day.To summarize, you'll get a lot of comfort out of these shoes for the first couple months probably, but they'll be in line for replacement soon after, and won't be able to substitute for a full-on steel-toed boot or even lace-up shoe in terms of ruggedness and stability.

Context: I'm now primarily in the office but need steel toes for visits to the shop or project sites. I wanted steel toes that would take up less space in my carry on when traveling to job sites, and I have to say, after wearing these around the office for a few days, I think are good enough to wear on the plane. Not sure what to expect at the security check - I expect even with Pre-Check, I'll need to take them off. They are far more comfortable than I expected and are fine for everyday use (comfort-wise). I noted several poor reviews related to the durability, but I don't have any illusions that these would replace my full leather boots for every day laboring. I would not recommend these for laboring - even if they did last longer. They are slip on - not safe in the field, and they offer no ankle support or protection. So evaluate your needs and expectations before buying these. They are perfect for what I want. They are tight to get on, as others have noted, but I don't need a shoe horn as others have needed. But I've found after a few days of breaking in, I can now slip them on with out any assistance from my hands. They are still a little tight across the top of my foot, but either they are stretching, or my foot is getting used to the fit - it's getting better. It's also worth mentioning that I use a standing desk and I've had no problem standing for 8+ hours a day in them. Glad I found these.
