(I am not Angela. I'm her husband. The review would read much differently without this preface.)

I went on Amazon to find the manliest shoe on the planet. That shoe is, in fact, this shoe right here. They are well made, the stitching and rivits and pull on thing on the back all seem very durable and well designed. It's quality shoe.

The soles are nice and thick, I reckon it's part of the electricity insulation, but it puts me right at 6 feet! (yay for that little bit). The metatarsal Guard is rugged, but does not make the shoe hard to put on or take off.

This shoe is crush resistant, fire resistant, electrical resistant, slip resistant, and it actually makes me taller. Been wearing them two days and they are already broken in and comfortable.

This shoe makes me want to fight crime like Batman.

I was shopping for a replacement shoe for behind the plate umpire work and came across this Nautilus shoe. It looked good in pictures and the price was right so I gave it a chance. It arrived quicker than I expected and the quality of the workmanship is top notch. I have already used them in 20 games and the more I wear them, the more comfortable they feel - better than the shoes I replaced. They have a very thick sole, a rear pull tab for easy pull on and leather and nylon sides for better breathing. The toes are steel but the plate that covers the laces is not steel, but a hard flexible plastic. It has not been a problem. What I like about this shoe are the two hooks at the top of the laces for fast and easy loosening and tightening. I am more than pleased, I am enthusiastic about this purchase.

A great pair of shoes! there was no break-in needed. I have spent up to 180 bucks on a pair of work shoes that havn't been as comfortable. I spend all day on my feet runing machines and this first time in years that I have come home without my feet absoultly killing me. they seem really durrable and they give alot of ankle support.

My new job includes interfacing with those on the production floor where this type of protection is required. I like a wider shoe, and gambled on a size 7 for my women's size 8 1/2 feet. I figured I could wear a thicker sock, and tried not to worry about how they would look. I was pleasantly surprised to find I can wear them with any socks, they almost look petite on my feet, and am thrilled with how light and comfortable they are. Plus the speed lacing makes them easy to take on and off if I want to wear other shoes for most of the day. (But...I secretly want to wear them even outside of work.)
