They're overkill, yes. But they're comfortable and breathable and imho pretty decent looking. A bit clunky, but they're not a fashionable shoe, they're for work. They're Timberland PRO Powertrain Alloy Safety Toe ESD Work Shoe. They have a steel toe, which is obiously not needed for detailing, but I couldn't find a non steel toe version.
They were $99, but the site has a 10% code, so they weren't really that expensive. While I've never owned anything Timberland, they're well known for quality products so I'm sure these will hold up. They're not light, but not exactly heavy either. the re-enforced toe definitely add's to the heft. Timb claims they have anti fatigue technology in the outsouls. I'd say they're comfortable for sure, but I haven't wore them all day so I can't comment on the anti-fatigue. Timb's are a brand for people who work on their feet all day, so hopefully they live up to this. The sides have a mesh material which does give some ventilation, they're a lot thicker than the Nike running shoes I normally wear. I hope when summer rolls around (SO Cal) this mesh works well in the heat.
I know some on here detail in flip flops, I wanted something that would hold up well and give me good foot support. I just got these the other day, but I'm already really liking them. The size of them compared to my Nike minimal running shoes is definitely going to take some adjustment on my part
PROS:
look decent *imho*
are comfy
not overly expensive
CONS:
none yet - I'll update this thread after I've had a week of wearing them.
