Skechers Nampa SR Work Shoe vs Shoes for Crews Freestyle II

The Nampa is the safer pick if electrical hazard protection and a roomier fit matter to you. It carries ASTM F2892-11 EH certification, which the Freestyle II does not. The Freestyle II is the better choice for wet, greasy floors: its TRIPGUARD outsole meets ASTM F2913-19 slip testing and the upper resists light spills. The Nampa uses a synthetic leather-look upper and a removable Memory Foam insole; the Freestyle II uses a removable Ortholite and EVA insole and weighs 12.2 oz per shoe. Owners of the Freestyle II rate it 4.1 out of 5 across 364 ratings, with comfort praised and durability the common complaint.

• Choose the Skechers Nampa if you work around live circuits or need EH-rated safety and want a wide, relaxed fit with a soft Memory Foam insole.
• Choose the Shoes for Crews Freestyle II if you spend shifts on wet or greasy floors in food service, retail or hospitality and want a lighter shoe with a proven slip-resistant outsole.
