text: My second time purchasing this style of SR max shoes as I got a great two years of use out of my first pair. I work at Starbucks, so I wear these shoes for 8 hour shifts daily and the traction of these shoes is fantastic, they're pretty comfortable, and they also look fairly normal as far as slip resistant work shoes go.<br />My number one complaint with my new pair, they give me incredibly painful blisters. I typically would wear my first pair around all the time if I went somewhere after work I would continue to wear the shoes for they look normal and were comfortable. This new pair, I do not know if they are not broken in yet or what but I walked about a mile in them (probably my second or third time wearing the shoes) and I was in so much pain that I had to walk very slow and I was contemplating walking bare foot. This may be because the traction on them is so great that it is causing too much friction on my feet as they are brand new... but I would NOT wear these for walking any far distance again, I will still work in them, but now I will have to bring a second pair of shoes with me to walk to work in.
