VOLCOM Workwear Mens Composite Toe ESD Skate Shoes Black/Gum VM30117

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Love these shoes. Wore them for 5 years as a Costco Morning Stocker. They lasted about 4 years of wear. The laces it came with lasted less than a year so I had to get new ones a couple of times finally retired them after the sole started falling apart. The grip is great, sadly they will grip on the dust and dirt from the dirty warehouse floor and lose traction because of that, not a manu. default at all but more than anything just heads up, about how the environment effects them. The inner sole doesn't come off due to glue, which I wish I could swap out, and trade out for an innersole that won't hold unto smells as easily. Since they're water resistant, sweat is retained in the shoe causing shoes to smell a bit even though I use deodorizer balls on days off. These are the only complaints I have though. These shoes have been amazing overall. They look amazing out of the box that I constantly get told by people they look like regular shoes. People who are familiar with the brand are always surprise that they are welcome from Volcom. The shoes are a little stiff, but they also feel like they can take a hit, proven by me catching some sharp edges and never having a cut through the material, they only ever started ripping from years of age. The composite is perfect for cold weather unlike steel which holds, retains and spreads out the cold to my toes. Most of all, I love these shoes for them being so lightweight compared to any steel toe shoe.
