- Men's Work Wascana-Benen Boot, Black, 13W

Honestly, I don’t buy Skechers for their looks, I buy them for comfort. However, these are the first Skechers boots that I think look really great. And not only do they look great, but they are super comfortable too. This is the first pair of shoes that I’ve bought online as I always prefer to try them on in store first. But after having a difficult time finding a good pair of boots in stores around my area, I decided to take a chance on these boots when I saw them on Amazon, and I am so glad that I did. I work for Dish Network as a residential installation Technicinan, so I need a work boot that’s durable, comfortable to wear 10-12 hours a day, resilient to all weather conditions, slip resistant, and safe for climbing up and down and working from ladders all day. These boots definitely tic all of those boxes. With the relaxed fit and light weight, my feet feel really good by the end of the day. I have arthritis in both my big toes, most other boots I’ve worn usually make work painful by the end of the day, but so far these boots have really kept me nearly pain free by the end of the day. They also allow a good range of motion, which is important in my line of work as I need to get into some really awkward and uncomfortable positions when pulling cable through a dank crawl space or tight attic space. There’s even plenty of room for thicker winter socks on those extra cold days without losing any comfort. One downside of the relaxed fit that some might not like is the fact that there’s not a huge amount of ankle support. For me I prefer the wider range of motion in my ankles as opposed to a tighter more supportive feel around my ankles. And best of all, there’s really no break-in period needed. They were comfortable and ready to wear for work right from the get-go. The one item that I can’t fully comment on just yet is the durability of these boots as I haven’t worn them long enough to really say how durable they are. However, I’ve always found Skechers to last me quite a long time before needing replaced, and I expect these boots to have the same quality materials as all of my past Skechers boots have had. I have not had a chance to fully submerge them in a puddle of water either, but I have worn them in the rain and snow, and they have kept my feet warm and dry. I am extremely happy with these boots, and so far I would buy a 2nd pair. Pros:They look great Size is true to fit Relaxed fit for all day comfort Plenty of room for thick winter socks Slip resistant soles Water resistant Good range of motion in ankles and feet Great for working on ladders Cons: Not much ankle support

Awesome boots, great in water, snow, tactical but still look great with dress pants, have a great shine to them. Never was a fan of steel toe but these guys have saved me some pain. Very comfortable once broken in took me a week to enjoy but believe me game changer.

No break in. With these boots. Extremely comfortable the moment you put them on. I really wish they were more durable. But at this price point you can buy three pairs of these for the cost of a pair of Redwings, Thoroughgoods, Danners ect...... honestly if you feel like gluing the soles back on at the toe they might go much longer lol. That seems to be the weak point. But extremely comfortable and I get a lot of work out of them before they die. Love the price point and I love the fact that they are just black. Pretty hard to just find a solid black work boot. Always all kinds of ugly labeling colors or goofy color schemes. They are waterproof. Did I mention no break in period? Comfortable from day one? With some decent insoles you will really be happy.

I just got these about a month ago, cannot speak on long-term durability, but, they fit perfectly the minute they arrived, are super-padded and comfortable, require no break-in time at all, really, as opposed to your average pair of Doc Marten 1460s, and they are definitely waterproof and excellent winter or any-season boots. Very cool tactical look, but not overly trendy. The lace system is fine, the metal guide catchhooks at the top take some practice but they are decent once you get the hang of them. I got these for an absurdly reasonable price on here, and considering the quality and comfort and waterproofing, I am not complaining. I really needed more waterproof boots for the winter in NY here, and these fit the bill. They seem like they'll last a few years, but I wouldn't push it past that. The average pair of Timberlands are like $150 these days, and may or may not last a few years, so these are fantastic if you don't want to shell out that much. They also look cool for just going out, to the bar, a date, whatever, and don't really look like ugly workboots, etc, given the tactical finish and design. These may be the most comfortable pair of ANY shoes I've ever purchased, requiring no break-in time, which is quite rare. I was forced to buy these online because DSW Shoes in my nabe had nothing like these, and never has smaller sizes (or rarely) in stock.

Overall i really like these boots. I’m glad i didn’t order them in a wide seeing how the “relaxed “ fit was plenty wide by itself. I ordered a 13 because they didn’t offer a 12-1/2 and they are a bit loose but not so bad as to send back. This pair was spot on with U.S. sizing. A thicker pair of socks does the trick. I do find them a bit stiff out of the box, but after wearing them for a while i stopped noticing. No blisters or hotspots. I Love the padding inside and the thick lug sole provided plenty of traction in my opinion. I wore them in wet conditions and had no slippage problems. Overall i’m happy with these boots and glad i bought them. I would recommend buying them in your normal shoe size keeping in mind they are “relaxed fit” to begin with. Hope this helps someone.

Definitely felt like I wasted my money on these boots. When you first get them it takes a lot longer than normal to break in. After a few months the rubber on top started to peel off and the laces started to frey as well. Won't be buying these boots again.

Arrived quickly, and Good Quality. but... A BIT HEAVY AND STIFF, so not great for everyday wear.

Very comfortable boot.
