TERRIBLE QUALITY, ZERO VALUE
I've been wearing Shoes For Crews for 15 years. In that time it is safe to say that I've owned at least 10 pairs of "The Ollie". It has always held up to everything perfectly, and lasted as long as they possibly could.
This "Ollie II", however, is a $20 shoe being paraded around at a $50 price point. The leather and stitching are both of TERRIBLE quality (Is this even leather? It feels like wet suit rubber!) The rubber along the outside is now two pieces instead of one. Even the insole is now WAY worse!! Instead of the rubber/gel feel they once had, its now low quality FOAM. Do not buy these shoes. A major rip-off and an even bigger disappointment. Thanks for the good times SFC, all good things must come to an end.

"Wide" is narrower than original Ollie "Regular"
The widest part of the toe box on the Ollie II is also not as far forward as the original Ollie. If you go up a half size to move the toe box forward, then the shoe is loose. The tongue rides higher on the arch, so not good for high arch/instep feet. Unfortunately, SFC appears to not have a true "wide" any longer. The leather is matte, which gives the appearance of cloth, so not really a Front of House fine dining server shoe. The non-slip sole is still the best in the business, so I'll try a shoe stretcher and some shoe polish. Very disappointed that SFC saw fit to change the shape of this style.

Pretty awful overall
Everything else aside, these shoes have absolutely no support to them. They look, feel, and wear like cheap slip ons. The non-slip sole is amazing, as always with Shoes For Crews, but this shoe is not designed for people who work 8 hour shifts on their feet. Wearing these shoes without supportive insoles was downright painful for an 8 hour shift. The "leather" started fraying like poorly constructed plastic quickly, and they lost their water resistance after about 6 weeks on the job. The cheap price reflects their quality.

Okay
These shoes are so comfortable but they do not last long they are not like the old Ollie shoes these shoes are worse than they tear up quick the bottom sole comes a loose. I have never ordered some shoes from shoes for crews and had a problem with them until they change the design on this shoe

Let me start out by saying I wear these shoes outside of work, more than I wear my other shoes! They are some of the best shoes I’ve ever bought!!! Great style and function! Perfect surfer/skater shoes insane amount of grip! I bought them in blue because of the white sole around the edge! Rocked em like that for a while until my boss was tired of everyone saying me having colored shoes was unfair so I dyed them with fabric paint so I could still have the white sole! I actually just ordered another pair(not because my other ones are done, their still going strong) just because I wanted a fresh pair! And I’ll probably order yet another pair to keep blue!! Best shoes ever! Shoes for crews FTW

Always loved SFC's Ollie shoe. Unfortunately, the remodeled version has a drastically different fit. I went from a perfect fitting 10 Ollie to a 10.5 WIDE Ollie II which is still very uncomfortable in the heels. Not sure why they felt the need to butcher a solid and dependable shoe, but I cannot recommend this shoe. Runs very small and narrow, and uncomfortable.

Quite comfortable.
I am truly content with the purchase. The Ollie II-Leather footwear is appealing and quite comfortable. In addition, the slip-resistance feature is well present.

Comfort
These were comfortable for the first 2 months but after awhile they started killing my feet. Maybe increase the cushion and padding on the insole. I am on my feet for 50-60 hrs a week, always running around. These weren’t the best for that.
