Ariat Men's Outpace Composite Toe Work Shoes

I was nervous about buying shoes online and how they would fit. When they showed up I was impressed. They seem well built durable. They are light but not so light they feel cheap. I put them on and they fit very well. I work on concrete all day and have been wearing them for a couple of weeks now. I love them. My feel don’t hurt as much anymore either. They grip well on the floor wet or dry. They feel planted and solid. I liked them so much I bought a second pair for at home.

At first I wasn't sure about ordering these. This is my first pair Ariats. I can't stand any kind of safety shoe or boots. Skechers has been my go-to lately. These ended up being way more comfortable than the Skechers. I used the sizing scale on their website to figure out the size I would need. I rounded up and they fit perfect lengthwise. The first pair that I received were too narrow, so I return them and got a pair of wide. After two or three days they're much more comfortable than the Skechers. I will be buying these again. Oh this is the first time I've ever purchased wide shoes. You probably want to follow the scale on their website and measure the width of your foot to make sure you don't need them.

These are very comfortable working on concrete all day. I work 10 & 11 hours a day in wet conditions and these shoes hold up great. They have good traction and my feet stay dry. I would buy these again. The surface material of the shoes is easy to wipe clean. After a month of wear, they still look new.

The toe box on these were too narrow. I wish it was a bit wider, I got the EE wide, the widest available, but its still too narrow. I usually wear the zero drop, wide toe box, foot shaped shoes like Altra or Xero, etc, but theu don't make composite toe work shoes. So... went with orthofeet instead and got the Slate models. Great fit, but they also crap out in like 6 mo's, but they are a good shoe in that time period.
