Skechers Men's Hartan

3 month review - I LOVE them. I wanted a slip on shoe for work in the office. These are great and get more comfortable with time. While not truly a "slip in", I can slip them on just fine.

These shoes are absolutely amazing! I spend anywhere from 8 to 14 hours per shift literally running around a warehouse, and since buying these shoes there's less swelling in my feet and ankles. They're the softest shoes I've ever worn in the workplace. They have better than decent ankle support and being styled like loafer, they're super easy to slip in and out of. Their sizes run slightly bigger than the sizes I'm used to. So my feet tend to slide back and forward depending on what I'm doing. Other than that, there's no real issue with them. They appear to be pretty durable. I've been wearing them for 3 weeks now and no signs of damage other than a few scratches. I work in a sheet metal plant, so the scratches are expected. I will definitely be looking forward to buying them again.

I wear these shoes hard. I sell industrial shelving and it is easy for things to fall on your toes. These protect them. I generally wear a size 12, but found that size 12 in these shoes was too small. Size 13 fit just fine. I have been wearing these shoes nearly every workday for the past 8 months or so and they have held up very well. I am satisfied with the fit and durability of these shoes. The price on Amazon is very competitive. It's been about a year since I bought these and this is an update - after a year of use these shoes have seen much better days - they no longer fit as well as they did and are no longer as comfortable as they were. The stitching is coming loose and the shoes are literally falling apart. It it worth buying another pair ? If I look at it and say they provided me with a nice pair of steel toed shoes for a year then they cost me $7.00 a month. I don't think that is too bad. UPDATE- I bought a second pair of these shoes after the first pair fell apart. The second pair did not last 4 months. These are very comfortable shoes when you first get them, but they do not last very long. I wish they would make them a little sturdier and longer lasting. I don't think I will be buying another pair.

I love these shoes; they are the best steel toed shoes I've owned. They're comfortable, easy to get in and out of and perfect for the office. One word of caution - if you are between 2 sizes, get the larger size. I originally purchased these in a size 10.5, which is my normal size. They fit fine for the first week, but the longer I wore them the more my feet were driven forward into the toe of the shoe. This caused my toes to push into the steel toe as I walked, and it didn't feel good at all. At that point it occurred to me that steel doesn't stretch! I figured that my normal size 10.5 shoes stretch to fit my feet over time. I then purchased a size 11, and they've felt fine after wearing them for over 2 weeks. I just wish these were made in the USA, but other than that I have no complaints.

After I started overnights at a warehouse job in '21, I quickly found myself aching by the end of each shift and in need of a new shoe that would offer proper support for 8 hours of freight hauling across concrete floors. At that time, I found this slip-on offering by Skechers at a local retailer.These met all my sizing and comfort requirements, provided good traction, and offered a steel toe that I often forcefully and inadvertently banged into palettes with no consequence; that steel toe also gave me the ability to easily handle heavy boxes by wedging my shoe underneath a bottom edge to give myself 3 points of contact for lifting. These shoes did just the trick I needed, and lasted me the duration of the job, though were showing signs of wear by the end (about 4 months).A year or so later, and pleased by my prior experience, I decided to get a new pair to aid my job prospects, and to my chagrin, could not find any at local retailers, including a dedicated Skechers outlet. A search on the Skechers website at the time also turned up empty.I wound up finding the exact same model here on amazon, and ordered another pair a half-size down to accommodate some lost weight as well as more casual wear, as I had chosen a deliberately oversized pair before in order to allow room for two pairs of socks (and thus, extra cushion). As the oversized pair had worn out, the amount of slack in them had gotten to be problematic even with extra socks on, giving uncertain purchase on the floor and developing a proclivity for ankle rolling.This new pair was more snug, though definitely not uncomfortably so, and offered better stability, but began to wear out faster than the ones I owned prior. Within probably two months, the stitching around the exterior of the toe cap began to rip out, making them much less useful during a round of job interviews I had coming up, and which had not happened to the older pair even after being used on the job and later beat up at home doing yard work. Like the old pair, these new ones also demonstrated a tendency to roll the ankle, as I found using them outside in uneven terrain.I suspect these issues I encountered contributed to their scarcity at the retailers in town, and I will not likely be getting another pair of them for the cost and low lifespan unfortunately. While they do offer a good deal of convenience and job-site versatility for a slip-on shoe, I think the slip-on design's elasticity and lack of ankle support works against other features of the design, such as the high-traction tread and front-heaviness of the steel toe; while lighter than a typical boot, these shoes tend to put their weight on the top of your foot instead of anchoring to the leg, which can sometimes start to wear on the ligaments after a long fatigued day.To summarize, you'll get a lot of comfort out of these shoes for the first couple months probably, but they'll be in line for replacement soon after, and won't be able to substitute for a full-on steel-toed boot or even lace-up shoe in terms of ruggedness and stability.

I go through work shoes every few years, some a little less long. I've used Sketchers before and they seemed to last the longest. A work shoe has to be durable & comfortable to me. I prefer slip ons for quick change in case I have to run into the house for something so as not to soil up the floors (which my wife appreciates). This shoe has performed well and the steel toe comes in very handy because I'm prone to drop heavy things and it's great protection for my feet. It's also snazzy looking. My only minor complaint is the deep grooved sole. If you've ever stepped in pine sap, you'll know what a bear it is to scrape out! Otherwise, it's a great shoe.
