ReebokMen's RB1735 Dayod Safety Toe Skateboard Work Shoe Black

I bought these shoes for Skateboarding. I have had two separate incidents where I have hurt my big toe. I was wearing Van’s Hi tops which do not give much protection to the toe. After my 2nd incident I began looking for skate shoes with steel toe. There were 3 different brands that offered this, but Rebok was the only on I could find in a High top. I was a little uneasy paying $90 for a shoe that will get torn up skateboarding but pleasantly surprised with an additional discount bringing the price down to $70.I received the sho last night and was amazed at the quality. It is a bulkier shoe than what I am used to(Vans), but after weighing them, they were only 3 oz more. The toe box is awesome. Lots of room and and protects the toes. You could smash it with a hammer and I am pretty sure it would hold up. The soles of the shoes are flat and have a great tread for gripping. I was locked into my skateboard better than ever. The inserts are nice and plush and felt great. Even with some 2 foot jumps and drops. Overall, my foot feels extremely protected and I am sure the backs are going to hold up to those heel smacks really well.As for performance, these shoes felt amazing. They are still flexible with the steel toe box, fit snuggly around the foot, and provide the protection to your feet. I was able to feel the difference immediately and felt more stable. I was able to pull off 2 trick that I have been trying for weeks. I am positive it was how secure the shoe felt and the extra grip it provided. My confidence level is up and I am looking forward to learning more.I have ordered two more pairs at the current price to replace these as they wear out. I am curious to see how long they last compared to my vans which typically last 3-4 months. I am thinking they may last 6-12 months with the quality. I will provide updates later.If you are like me and want a great high top skateboard shoe that protects your toes, these are excellent.

Years ago I was working at the Shamrock Foods warehouse, and I needed a safety-rated boot but I had to run all night long. I discovered these and I’m never going back to boots. I wore them for years through working for Security and never got in trouble for violating the dress code. I work maintenance now and they’re still perfect.Along with some insoles they’re far more comfortable than any boots I’ve ever worn. I’m convinced they’ve added years to my fitness and joint health.Even though they’re not advertised as waterproof; I’ve worn them through monsoons and my socks stayed dry.About the only thing they’re not good for is hiking.I buy them over and over again (maybe 4 or 5 times over the years, they’re durable) and I’ll keep buying them as long as they keep making them. Highest recommendation.

If you are required to wear safety toe shoes but don't like heavy, thick soled boots, these will fill the bill. I have worn several different brands of work boots including some high end American made boots with the aftermarket insole recommended by the salesman, and I find them all uncomfortable.Give me a flat soled shoe with adequate cushion and a roomy toe box and I'm happy. These meet those requirements, and I am perfectly happy with them. My last work shoes were Converse Work, which are apparently now being sold as Reebok Work with a few changes to the line. These do not look like safety shoes at all, more like a basketball shoe. The toe box is so roomy that my toes never feel crowded.The only issue I have is the squeaky sole. They squeak loudly on smooth flooring, but they also grip well. Not the best sole if you are in mud and dirt, which I occasionally am. The sole holds on to mud until it begins to dry, at which point it is shed out with every step making a mess if you are inside.Bottom line, I will be buying these again if they're still available when I need to replace my current ones. I've been wearing them daily for a couple of months now, and they still look great, don't show any signs of premature wear.
