Skechers Work Men's Flex Advantage - Bendon Slip Resistant Athletic Work Shoes - Wide Available

I work in special education and went looking for some true non-slips after very nearly hurting myself slipping. I loved these shoes at first sight because of their completely understated style. Just a plain black upper and the Skechers logo. Absolutely no attempt to be flashy or trendy looking. They match with anything that isn't dressy. They're sized large, so consider sizing down if you need to run or drive in them. I still found them very comfortable one size down. They're comfortable enough that I often choose to wear them over some of my more stylish normal sneakers when shopping or running errands. The soft upper that keeps these shoes lightweight and comfy also means they won't resist a lot of water, will hold onto dirt, and will fray and wear with hard use. Would not recommend for use in a restaurant, for example. Overall, after about 16 months of near-daily use, the outside fabric is pretty much wrecked, but almost everything else about the shoe is still holding up. I might skip shopping for new work shoes and just order another pair of these.
