text: I have very skinny ankles and heels so it is a little large. Overall, I like them a lot, but they are difficult to break in (don't recommend doing it on a 15 hour day.) I walk on ice and concrete all day at work, usually 6 days a week for 12 hour days. These shoes are durable and comfortable once broken in. These shoes can take a beating and hold up. I've had other shoes that can't last at work nearly as long.<br />If you find yourself walking through large puddles they will leak a little, but can easily be sprayed with a water-proofing spray.
