SkechersUSA Men's Respected-Boswell 204454 Mid Top Leather Moc Toe Lace Up

Finally! After trying 5 different shoes Skechers offers, these are THE ones! My foot is wide, has a high arch and toes are short(er). The slip-on styles I first tried had such tight elastic, continuous lacing and small openings (tongue sewn to the upper- can't be loosened) I couldn't cram my foot even 1/3 of the way in. These shoes are the exception. They're listed as "relaxed fit" and "extra wide fit". Foot slipped right in. The sole is built with a mild rocker last... it's gently curved as if you've already broken them in. Lotsa room in the toe box, and enough width to be instantly comfortable as I wore them the first time. Light, hopefully durable, looks good. Says "water repellent" - living in the PNW - we'll see. No wonder the Amazon page notes: "Customers usually keep this item."Cons... smell of the Goodyear sole "out-gassing"the volatiles present on synthetic rubber and plastic. I set them out in the sun for little more than a day and smell was diminished noticeable amount. But this is common with anything you buy that's made of plastic/synthetics.

I bought these for my husband and they have worn well over the last 6 months. He likes the fit and support they provide. They are also a really nice looking boot. Sketchers does it again giving us yet another SUPER comfortable shoe!!!!

I bought these shoes based on their appearance as a casual boot but to my surprise upon receipt it was my opinion that they look like a work boot and not like the picture shown in the listing. I will say that they appear to be well made , they are comfortable but run big in the width . The pair that I got are what I ordered , size 13 M however like I said they are quite wide but the length gave plenty of extra room . I would say about 3/8 of an inch longer than my foot and the toe box has plenty of room. Personally I wouldn't use them for running or dancing and although I did'nt weigh them they felt heavier than the 2 pounds advertised. If they were narrower , I will say they would make a great work boot or even at this width would probably be great with thicker winter type socks as the boots really are very comfortable and seem well made and the tread is great and doubtfully slippery.

These are not hard use boots. The leather is soft. Perfect for light duty such as food service or the medical field. Very comfortable. These boots seem to run about a 1/2 size large( I normally wear a size 11, got 10.5 in these). They are also naturally wide fitting. I spend 10-12 hours a day on my feet and these boots remain comfortable throughout my shift. Literally no break in time. Great boots!

Very happy with the fit and feel of these. They are very lightweight but still sturdy. Comfort is great. Would buy again

good quality slip resistant and comfortable for standing and walking with good room and good for walking in water and puddles, i walk ALOT my job has me walking all day at work, I've worn out 3 pairs in the heel area and patch them for a little more time, i do wish it was a little more durable in that location.

I don't go wading through deep mud, but it can get wet on the rocky ground and my feet always stay dry! Durable? They're comfortable and have lasted a lot longer than department store outdoor boots! It's pretty rare that the boots outlive the shoestrings.

I initially bought these to replace my 'yard work' boots, but I've decided I like them too much for that and now they are my main casual shoe.Initial reaction of the Skechers Men's Respected-Boswell Boot was their weight: VERY light compared to work boots, hiking boots or similar. The stitching and design is attractive and the sole is not aggressive but should fine for casual wear. Where these boot excel is in the comfort. They are very comfortable, even from the first wearing, with no real break-in period needed (for me, at least). These arrived just before a cross country road trip to Yellowstone National Park. These felt great driving and offered good comfort and stability walking around the park (and I do mean walking, as I did not engage in any serious rugged trail hikes during this trip).I would expect these to be water 'resistant', not water proof, which is consistent with the product description. The main component appears to be 'leather like" rubber based material as well as some leather accents on the upper. It looks nice, and actually will compliment all but the most dressy attire.But there is a negative I need to address: the smell. All new boots will have some amount of 'smell', either from the leather, glues, rubber or other components. Usually this dissipates withing a few days. Unfortunately, these boots took a long time to lose the rubber/leather smell. I think this was intensified by body heat, because the smell was very strong when taking them off. My feet/shoes never 'stank' before, but it was very apparent with these. It started to normalize after a week or so and even more so after adding an 'odor-eater' insole. I still love these boots, but buyers should expect an extended period of off-gassing. To me, the exemplary boot comfort far outweighs that minor inconvenience.
