I had the previous energy shoes for 8 years in a 5.5 and was disappointed that they are no longer made. I ordered the new energy II in the same size but they were too big. They measured 1/2 inch bigger on the outer sole than the previous shoes. I traded them in for the size 5 and they fit much better, but were still a tad bigger than the old shoes in a 5.5. I would prefer the old black leather instead of the breathable mesh. I recommend that SFC have the sizes in inches on their shoe size chart of the insole and outsole to make an informed decision on what size shoe is needed. The return process was easy though and I'm glad to have new work shoes!

Great shoe! I wore the SFC “Candy” for over 10 years and could NOT find a comparable shoe. Tried many diff brands and styles. Have heel problems so I need the extra support in my heel, especially being on my feet for 10-15 hours a day...Took a chance on the Energy II, solely based on the look and description provided. Really glad I did. You have to understand that after wearing the same model shoe for as long as I did, it was extremely difficult to find one that would even compare. But the Energy II feels like your walking on clouds. The extra suspension is great and supportive. Bonus perk I love the color and look of it too.

Bring back the old confortable leather Energy II
I have worn the previous version of this shoe for 10 years and absolutely loved them, they were so comfortable. I needed new shoes so wanted to get a new pair only to find they changed them. I thought at first it was mostly a cosmetic change, I can handle that, but no, it was changes in every way. They are no longer leather, the insole does not have the arch support the old version had and they no longer offer a wide width. SFC PLEASE bring back the old version of the Energy II. Please let me know if the old style is at all available.I am desperate to have a new pair of shoes as confortable an good looking as old version

I am very sad and would have been a forever repeat customer, but not now.

Great for relieving heel pain
I'm pretty happy with these shoes although I added a powersteps insole, I need better support, and also I ordered a half size bigger because it was suggested, but when I reorder I wont do that-I'll go back down a half size. I hurt the planters fasciitis tendons in my feet, my heel pain was unbearable after 7 hours at work, now I can last 8 plus hours, so I consider that a success. They don't make you look like you have small feet but if your feet hurt, like mine, especially your heels, I think they're worth trying because you're not stepping and putting direct pressure on your heels. I will buy them again. Thank you.

I had been wearing these shoes since 2010 and they discontinued the original style. It was a leather upper and came in wide. Those are my two criticisms of the reboot. I need a wide and the leather is easier to clean and stretches more. Otherwise it is great for people who suffer from heel pain which is why I started to purchase these shoes eight years ago. I will continue to buy them despite the issues because they have greatly helped me with my foot problems. I wish they would go back to the old style however.

Very uncomfortable shoe
I purchased this shoe a year ago, and couldn't wear them a week. I will never understand why SFC revamped the original leather Energy. They were literally perfect! No breaking in period, leather upper, amazing soles,instant comfort, etc. I wish I had returned Energy II as they aren't waterproof,too tight fitting,poorly cushioned, and gave me blisters/back pain. I'm thankful I still have 2 original Energy pairs. SFC, email me when y'all decide to bring back the original Energy, which from multiple reviews seems to be a popular opinion.

Used To Be A Great Shoe
I have been buying the Energy Style from here for almost ten years. When my last pair wore out I bought the revamped model and Ive never been so dissapponted in your shoes. Changing them from a leather upper to canvas was terrible. No matter how hard I tried these shoes would not break in and were so uncomfortable I went to another shoe. My feet were in so much pain even three months into wearing them and nothing i did could make them work. The old style was amazing, please bring back the original Energy shoes.
