Dr. Scholl'sMen's Harrington II Slip Resistant Work Oxford

My husband works 45-50 hours/week in the produce department of a grocery store. They are required to have non-slip shoes. Since he is in management, he cannot wear shoes that look like athletic shoes so we have to find business shoes that fit the bill. He wore Rockport for 2 years- until they discontinued his shoe. (That shoe would last almost 6 months, so we were used to spending $120/year on his work shoes. ) When I saw his shoe was discontinued, I started the search for another durable pair- which seems to be a very difficult task these days. I found a $54 pair that looked similar to the Rockports from a department store. They looked nice but that soon faded as they broke down, almost instantly. Adding $15 inserts helped them limp to making almost 3 months of wear. During this time, I was on the search- again- for shoes. About the time I thought it was a losing battle, I came across the Dr. Scholl’s dress shoes. I remember being so excited and saying, “I didn’t know Dr. Scholl’s made non-slip DRESS shoes!!” (Before management, my husband’s favorite pair of shoes were the Dr. Scholl’s non-slip walking shoes.)I ordered 2 pair with with confidence, secure in my trust in the Dr. Scholl’s brand. (And also happy there was a coupon, making them $40/pair. ) I was a bit hesitant about the look of the shoe because my husband is more old-school and leans more to a loafer type shoe and always complained that this look of shoe looked “oafy.” The day the shoes came, he was at work. When he came home for lunch, I showed him the shoes and he immediately kicked off the tragic pair, put on the Dr. Scholl’s, stood up and said, “Wow! These feel awesome!” He has plantar fasciitis that he usually has to use inserts if the arch isn’t good enough. He didn’t need the inserts and went back to work. When he came home, I asked how the shoes felt- he looked down and said, “I haven’t even thought about my feet since having these on so I have to say, ‘Great!’ “ I asked how he thought they looked and he said he actually liked them- that they felt sturdier than the Rockport loafers and this pair didn’t look oafy like others.That was December 24, 2020. I am writing this on May 21, 2021 and he is still wearing the same pair. They do show signs of wear (he’s hard on his shoes: unloading product from the delivery truck, stocking, cleaning, etc.) but a bi-monthly cleaning and polishing brings back the luster. The shoes themselves haven’t broken down yet and have a lot more wear left than the Rockports would have at this point.I was looking at my past orders the other day and there was a $10 off coupon for this pair of Dr. Scholl’s shoes so I ordered another pair. (I don’t want them to be discontinued and not have any.) We now have 2 pair in reserve for him once these finally give out. (I always give the shoes a good looking over and make him try on the new shoes before storing them to ensure everything is good.)We have put a pair of the plantar fasciitis inserts in the shoes recently to keep his arch up. (He broke his femur in high school and that foot is really hard on arches since it rolls in more than it should.)That just reminded me that these shoes DON’T stink!! The crap pair before these and even the Rockports would get the most pungent smell!! I haven’t had to spray or put any powder in these shoes at all- so there’s a huge plus for me!He has worn a size 9, regular (medium) width for over 35 years and these shoes are true to size.I know how important shoes are- not just for your feet but for your back too. A good pair of work shoes is a must and not something to skimp on. Thankfully, Dr. Scholl’s is keeping the bar high with these by making a great pair of shoes that last and offering them at a very reasonable price. From now on, we’re sticking with Dr. Scholl’s!

I work in a auto shop they are very comfortable and easy break in and have held up very well

I bought a pair of these shoes in September 2023.I didn't really have any major issues with the shoes for daily wear and there is sufficient room to add different insoles.One issue that I did have that has been reflected in other reviews is the separation of the sole. This occured on the right shoe about a month after the purchase.I super glued the area and had to re-apply the glue periodically. It was sufficient to keep the sole intact albeit for a small area right at the back end of the shore which didn't fully seal.Some reviews I read about similar, more expensive shoes indicated a similar issue with the sole so opted to buy the Dr. Scholl's Harrington style again.I couldn't rate these shoes 5 stars but also think 3 stars is too low.

They arrived on time, they feel great on my feet after hours on my feet, and they look professional.

I've always been a 10.5 and these fit perfectly. They are extremely comfortable and definitely slip resistant. I went walking onto a marble floor just out of the rain and watched someone else slip and fall, while these were firmly gripped. The one thing that I should point out is that these things will keep your feet EXTREMELY warm... I'm talking like a heat box. As we're going into Autumn, it's a welcomed feature, but I don't know how well I'm going to like that in the summer! I'll wait to see how durable they are, as longevity is second only to comfort in my list of importance. Will update this review if I eventually buy another pair, but so far I definitely would.UPDATE: After 2-1/2 years I'm still wearing the same pair of shoes. I've got a desk job, and pretty much wear these every day to work and to places on weekends. A couple things to note... I put the gel inserts into the bottoms as the bottoms were getting worn out. Also, I don't unlace them and I use a shoehorn to put them on, so the laces and back have really held up. You'll see from the picture the soles are still attached and not peeling away from each other. There's some wear on the leather that could probably be cleaned up with a shine kit, but it's also worth noting I'm in the Northeast, so these have gone through a lot of Winter saltings and the leather is just fine. If I could give these 6 stars, I would.UPDATE #2: I'm coming up on 4 years with these black shoes, and I'm on my 2nd set of the Dr. Scholl's gel inserts. I bought the shoes in brown also about 1.5 years ago, so the black ones aren't getting as much usage as the first 2-3 years. HOWEVER!!! They're still holding up fine! With the new insoles, they're like new... but still as comfortable as ever. As with all shoes/sneakers I own, I use a metal shoehorn because it's always back by the heel/achilles that fails first on quality shoes. With these, I suspect the first failure will be that thin layer of rubber tread on the soles detaching, but that'll be due to how I take them off (using one shoe/foot to take off the other).Update #3: Almost 6 years later! About a year and a half ago these became my yardwork shoes. I'm pretty active so these got a lot of wear and tear. Today they finally popped! Through mud, woods, climbing all over the house... Tough shoes to lay this long with me!Conclusion: I really can't say enough about the quality and durability of these comfortable shoes. It was money well spent on these.

You can't go wrong with these shoes. Most comfortable and lasts extremely long.

I would give this a 5 but like others encountered, the soles have started to separate at the heels in only 6 months time.

The quality is great. It looks good and does what it says it should. I would even buy another one again.

I need very comfortable shoes. I have a corn or something in the center of my left foot. My shoes need to be perfect and soft inside but firm. These shoes are perfect! Can wear them all day and remain active in a business environment.

Es un excelente zapato perfecto para las personas que trabajan todo el día parados super cómodos pues la horma es muy amplia, la suela antiderrapante se puede usar en piso mojado y no resbalarse, se me cansan mucho menos los pies pues trabajo todo el día parado. Muy recomendables.

Well made and comfortable, good quality shoes.

Para hotelería y cocina, el mejor zapato para mantener una imagen presentable, estar de pié todos el turno y seguro. La bota industrial no sirve dentro de una cocina, la combinación de agua con grasa en los pisos lisos las hace inútiles. Solo este tipo de suelas similares a la piel de lagartijas con dibujo pequeño poco profundo funciona.

Llego en la fecha exacta, empaquetado perfectamente, los zapatos son muy cómodos, de excelente calidad, el color es un poco mas claro de como se ve en la fotografía, sin embargo se ven muy bonitos, la talla viene exacta, pídelos de tu talla habitual.
