I like how they look, cutest tennis shoe type shoe I've owned in a work shoe. Only, these say they have gel insoles, but I felt like the Mavi style was more comfortable. . .but, with my problem feet, these aren't too bad. Because of the little ridges in the canvas, I can't clean them very well, so they look kind of reddish over the black now (due to we cook hot sauce and burrito sauce where I work, and spills happen or the spice pack explodes and some goes on your shoes). I tried wiping them clean, but they still aren't restored to a totally black look. Also, I prefer wide shoes if I can get them (because of a bunion on right foot), and these don't offer a wide that I know of. I also have plantar fasciitis, and I assume with a wide my feet might tingle less, since the tightness of shoes really bothers it. Overall, they are better for my feet than a lot of shoes I've tried. As to non-slip, these have the Shoes for Crews out sole, which is the best slip-resistant shoe bottom of any I have worn. When I do start to slip, I know it's time to clean the bottoms. They have deep grooves, so it's a good idea to clean in the grooves when the crud piles up in them and wash off the bottoms to be free of grease and such. For the feet problems I have, they are pretty good shoes -- others are too stiff or too tight or don't have enough box toe room top to bottom....so, in that sense, I would recommend them, since I don't want to pay $120 or more for the shoes with built in orthotics. And it's iffy on whether the fancy shoes are truly non-slip, since the ones I tried WERE NOT. In my line of work, a fast paced restaurant environment, the shoes HAVE to be absolutely slip-resistant. There are going to be spills and oil and water to deal with.....and with Shoes for Crews (Mozo is a brand they sell), I don't have to worry about sliding. I feel so secure wearing them. I have read some bad reviews on Shoes for Crews, but I have found they are the best shoes for truly being non-slip and also being fairly comfortable and they offer many styles in wide, just not this one). So, the only real down side is that they look dirty after a while. Still, I might buy them again as nothing else I have tired is working out.
