Is the Tarinx a true safety shoe?

No. It is a slip-resistant work shoe with a cushioned midsole and knit upper. It has no steel or composite toe, no puncture plate and no electrical hazard rating, so it does not replace a certified safety boot on sites that require one.

How does it compare with Skechers' other work shoes?

The Tarinx uses the Glide-Step midsole and Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole, the same comfort platform as Skechers' sporty work line. It is lighter and more flexible than leather work boots, but it gives up the toe protection and durability those boots offer.

What is the Glide-Step midsole?

It is a geometric midsole shape Skechers designs for a soft landing and a springy takeoff. On a work shoe it adds a rolling feel underfoot during long stretches of walking and standing.

Can I adjust the laces?

The laces are fixed stretch laces, so the shoe slips on and off without tying. There is no way to tighten or loosen them the way you would standard laces.

One pair of Skechers Work Slip-Resistant Glide-Step Pro - Tarinx shoes. The laces come already fitted to the shoe.

Will the knit upper keep my feet dry?

The engineered jacquard knit is breathable and flexible, but it is not waterproof. In wet or oily conditions, expect moisture to reach your feet more easily than with a leather work shoe.
