My company paid for these shoes. The back of the shoe, where my achilles heel starts, blew out within 3 months of use. And started tearing through my socks, and giving me blisters in that area. I exclusively work indoors, and spend little time on my feet, but am required to wear safety shoes. The shoes are not breathable at all either. They look like they do, but they don't. Also, I ordered 4E, and they are not wide enough, and my feet blow out the sides.
