Tried something new
I'm a auto tech on my feet all day for 40 hours a week. My last set of work shoes were Sketchers and I loved them, but I thought I'd branch out as I'd heard good things about Shoes For Crews from other technicians. First off, these are no where near as comfortable as described. I ordered a 14W, and the shoe still feels a bit narrow on my foot. Also, the insole is not as cushy as compared to my previous work shoes. I got a full year out of my Sketchers, and these already have a few decent sized chucks taken out of the sole after 2 months of wearing them everyday. I will be going back to Sketchers after this pair wears out.

I work in the automotive repair industry and am on my feet 10+ hours a day 5+ days a week. I am on slippery painted concrete floors covered in motor oil, gas, diesel, and such and Shoes for Crews is the only place I will buy shoes. My current pair is 14 months old and I finally am replacing them but only because the tread is mostly worn. The top of the shoes are still in great shape. Our car wash area is like a sheet of ice in the wrong shoes-- but absolutely no concerns with these. I recommend SFC to all my employees!

Hesitate to buy
I bought these shoes thinking they would be great lite weight breathable shoes for the restraunt I work at. After the first week they were good. But after 2 weeks they started to not support my feet, and after placing new inserts inside the shoes, it didn't help. The other problem is how little breathing room it gives. I work as a "fast food" cook on my feet for 6+ hours a day. I get home from work and my socks are basically soaked in sweat from wearing these shoes. And I am a smaller guy. So no they are not breathable or comfortable after 2 weeks.

Terrible grip
If I could I’d give 0 stars. I work at Texas Roadhouse in Hagerstown, and these shoes did not work, as I have slipped once, causing my hip to hurt for a few days. I’ve almost slipped just about every shift I work, including almost causing salads to fly towards two teenage girls exiting the restaurant. They saw me almost slip and were like “oh my”.
I also almost slipped going out side for our outdoor seating and almost fell on the concrete. Many times I side into walls and almost run into people. I awkwardly walk around like a penguin or like I need to go to the bathroom because I don’t want to slip and fall. I highly do NOT recommend these shoes.
Go somewhere else

Sizing is completely inaccurate
The sizing info on this website says that SFC shoes "run true to US standard sizing". This simply cannot be true. I ordered a 9 Wide, because my pair of nonslop Dr. Scholls that I bought from Walmart were the same size. These were at least 1/8" too skinny and about 1/4" too short. Dr. Scholls 9W measures 4.5" wide, which is exactly what I need.
I have since used the exchange program to return these and get a pair of Freestyles, which I ordered in a 9.5W in hopes that I could get some extra breathing room... and those were even skinnier! I posted a review of those as well, on the page for them.

I received my shoes and put them on and immediately I noticed how the cushioning in them made my feet feel better than before and when I walk sometimes if its really quiet I can hear the grip on the bottom of the shoe hold to the floor like its grabbing the floor. the only issue is I bought the wide pair and they still don't seem to be wide enough but besides that they are amazing. I'm flat footed and have wide feet and they are very comfortable. I hope thay hold up well because im on my feet either 10, 11, or 12 hours every time I work. fingers crossed.

Comfortable, slip resistant, but do not last long
As an automechanic, I appreciate the comfortable feel of these shoes. I also greatly appreciate the traction they provide. But SFC's never seem to last very long for me. I've been using SFC's for the past 10 years off and on and although I keep going back to them for their traction - I find myself always shaking my head when my shoes wear out within a couple of months of use. Whether is the glue they use to bond the sole to the shoes, stitching the comes undone, etc.. if only the rest of the shoe can match the quality of the sole. I've actually taken several of my SFC shoes to a local cobbler over the years in attempt to prolong their use as the rest of the shoe doesn't last as long as the sole.

Heat + Water Resistant
I work at a very popular fast food restaurant as service crew. The other day, I accidentally spilled a whole pot of steaming hot coffee, right out of the brewer, on my feet. I did not feel a single thing and the shoes did not soak/absorb any of the coffee and stayed completely dry. Was a bit expensive for plastic shoes but will defiantly last you a while and are worth the purchase.
