- Is this shoe actually slip resistant?
- Yes. It has a rubber slip-resistant outsole designed for wet and greasy floors, which is why kitchens and hospitals use it. It is not a certified safety toe, so check your workplace rules.
- Is it waterproof?
- The leather upper is listed as waterproof, so rain and spills stay out. The laces and collar can still take on water in heavy soaking.
- How does the 4 mm drop feel?
- It sits low and flat, closer to the ground than most cushioned walking shoes. That suits people who want stability, but takes getting used to if you are coming from a high-drop shoe.
- Does it fit true to size?
- It runs true to size for most wearers, in normal width only. If you wear thick work socks or have wide feet, consider sizing up.
- How heavy is it?
- About 9.3 oz, which is mid-weight for a leather work shoe. The slip-resistant rubber adds some heft compared with mesh walkers.
- Can I wear it outside work?
- Yes. It looks like a plain black walking shoe and handles wet weather, though the warm upper is less pleasant in summer.
