3 Best Work Shoes for Men

1) Clarks Men’s Escalade Step Slip-on Loafer

The Clarks Men’s Escalade Step Slip-on Loafer shoes have leather uppers and good traction, and are also lightweight. They offer a nice look for those that have to look nice at work.

These shoes are suitable for semi-casual to business formal.

They are comfortable and have good cushioning, making them perfect if you are on your feet all day, but some people find them uncomfortable for walking long distances.

If you work around electrical hazards, note that these shoes are rated as electrical hazard safe. Most people found these work shoes durable, but some people thought the quality, especially compared to other Clarks models, was lacking.

Please keep in mind these shoes run a half size big, but are tight for wide shoes.

2) Merrell Men’s Jungle Moc Pro Grip Work Shoe

The Merrell Men’s Jungle Moc Pro Grip Work Shoes also have leather uppers.  They provide good support if you have a high arch, and they have an air cushion midsole.

Like the Skechers, you can be pain-free even after a full day on your feet.  However, these shoes require a break-in period.

Unless you have wide feet or a high instep, in which case these shoes may be snug, they are likely to be loose except for in the heel.

These light shoes are slip-ons, which is great if you have back pain that makes bending down difficult.

3) Skechers for Work Men’s Rockland Systematic Slip Resistant Lace-Up Shoe

Like the previous shoe, the Skechers for Work Men’s Rockland Systematic Slip Resistant Lace-Up Shoe has a leather upper and is electrical hazard safe.

The slip-resistance is excellent against both water and oil. Workers on a cruise ship and in an auto-repair shop reported being able to work without fear of slipping.

These shoes may not be as comfortable as some other shoes, but they provide great value for money.

Some people, however, find them to be extremely comfortable for standing all day and no longer have tired feet and legs after work.

Furthermore, they are durable, lasting over one year, and look professional. One downside is that they can get hot.

Honorable Mention

Bostonian Men’s Bolton Dress Slip-On

Like some of the other best work shoes in 2019, the Bostonian Men’s Bolton Dress Slip-On has a leather upper and is slip-resistant and light. They can be slippery on ice, however.

Some people find these shoes to be comfortable from the beginning, while others require a break-in period, especially in the heel.

These Bostonians have good cushioning and are comfortable if you stand or walk a lot at work.

The insoles are good and the shoes have a true fit. While not as durable as some other Bostonian models or more expensive shoes, these shoes provide good value for the price.

These work shoes are suitable for both casual or dressy situations.

3 Best Work Shoes for Women

1) Skechers for Work Women’s Soft Stride-Softie Slip Resistant Lace-Up

These are the most durable and comfortable pair of women’s shoes.

The Skechers for Work Women’s Soft Stride-Softie Slip Resistant Lace-Up shoe has a leather upper and good slip-resistance.

These shoes have great cushioning even if you are on concrete all day, whether you are walking or standing.

In addition to the cushioning, the good support leaves wearers without any foot, ankle or back pain.

This is true even for those standing for ten to twelve hours a day and have experienced pain with previous shoes. These shoes also come in a wide fit.

Furthermore, the shoes are durable and last all year long. They may, however, take some time to break in.

2) Skechers for Work Women’s Ghenter Bronaugh Work Shoe

Yet another pair of Skechers work shoes makes our top 3.

3) Clarks Women’s Emslie Warren Slip-on Loafer

The last pair from our women’s work shoes review comes from a brand with a good reputation in the dressy category: Clarks.
