Memory Foam Footwear for Work – Worn & Tested

The Skechers Work Women’s Synergy – Sandlot Alloy Toe Work Shoe offers outstanding comfort but, at the same time, easily keeps up with tough work conditions.

We love the insole cushioned with the signature Skechers Memory Foam insole, molding to the foot’s shape for all-day comfort and pressure relief.

The alloy toe caps guard the toes against dangerous compression and impact without the bulky feel of steel toes. We appreciate the grippy outsole that makes walking on tricky surfaces much easier to manage without compromising our balance. The shoe has a stylishly sporty silhouette that goes well with outfits on and off the job and is durable enough to last through the most challenging activities.

Unique Features

Sole

The slip-resistant outsole has a strong grip on different surfaces, keeping our feet planted firmly on the ground to significantly minimize the risk of slipping in various job scenarios.

The thick structure added a bit of height but didn’t have the strange bulky feel of other thick outsoles.

We noted that the sole easily attracts dirt and can be quite challenging to clean.

Fit

We love how comfortable these shoes are, with the memory foam insole cradling our feet in a cloud-like, almost customized fit. The shock-absorbing midsole added to the overall comfort by soaking up the impact of walking on hard ground.

We’re so happy with the shoe’s spacious interior, as it allows the toes to move as needed without the cramped feeling.

Build

The shoe’s durable construction assures us that we’ll be able to enjoy its superb features for a long time.

The alloy toe caps protect the toes against heavy falling objects, and we’re glad they don’t feel as bulky as steel toes.

A sporty yet stylish enables us to maximize the shoe in and out of the job site. Meanwhile, electrical hazard protection adds another layer of safety against electrocution in case of accidental contact with open circuits.

Summary

The Skechers Work Women’s Synergy – Sandlot Alloy Toe Work Shoe is a remarkably comfortable choice with its signature memory foam insole and has other outstanding qualities, including alloy toe protection, durable construction, strong traction, and an electrical hazard-safe design.

The Reebok Sublite Cushion RB806 Women’s 8-Inch Tactical Waterproof Boot comes with a proprietary MemoryTech Massage footbed cushioning the blow of continuous walking on hard surfaces. We also like how this footbed contoured to the foot for even better comfort throughout the day.

The waterproof structure sealed out liquids to maintain comfortable dryness in wet surroundings.

A side zipper helps put on and remove the boot, making it much more convenient. Strong traction keeps the boot planted securely even on tricky surfaces for a safer walking experience.

We appreciate the electrical hazard-safe design that gives non-primary protection in work areas where open circuits may be encountered.

Unique Features

Sole

The sole consists of flex grooves that move along with each step, giving the foot a wider range of motion and better agility.

We like the healthy way it sticks to the ground, making walking more safely on wet or uneven ground conditions easier.

However, the flexibility may sacrifice durability as we don’t think the sole is sturdy enough to last very long.

Fit

We’re fans of the deeply cushioned interior, with the memory foam footbed creating a comfortable cradle supporting the foot.

Slipping the foot in and out is much easier with the boot’s side zipper, which handily comes with a Velcro strap for added security. With ample flexibility on the upper and sole, this boot offers unrestricted foot agility that we enjoyed while on duty.

Build

This waterproof boot seals out liquids to maintain comfortable dryness while walking in wet or muddy environments.

We’re happy to discover that it also has a moisture-wicking mesh lining to help sweat evaporate more easily, prolonging foot comfort even after hours of continuous walking or standing.

The electrical hazard protection greatly minimizes the threat of electrocution in work areas with electrically energized objects.

Summary

The Reebok Sublite Cushion RB806 Women’s 8-Inch Tactical Waterproof Boot has a comfortably cushioned interior featuring a memory foam insole and other superb qualities such as waterproof and moisture-wicking structure, electrical hazard protection, a side zipper, and a high-traction outsole.

The Skechers Work Flex Advantage Bronwood Shoe maintains all-day comfort, starting with the Skechers Memory Foam insole, easing the strain on the foot’s pressure-prone zones.

We’re fans of the slip-on design offering maximum convenience, with side gussets that widen the opening to accommodate comfortable foot entry and exit.

Inside, there’s enough room for comfortable foot movement and toe-wiggling. We’re grateful for the upper resistant to water and stains, offering enhanced performance against wetness and accidental spills. The slip-resistant sole helps prevent slipping on wet or uneven floors and is flexible enough not to restrict the natural walking motion.

The shoe is lightweight and doesn’t drag heavily on the foot even with nonstop use all day.

Unique Features

Sole

The rubber outsole offers strong slip resistance that helps us walk more safely across wet, inclined, and unstable floor areas.

We love its flexibility as it allows the foot to move as naturally as possible while providing much-needed support.

Fit

The relaxed fit gives ample room for the foot to budge inside the shoe and allows the toes to wiggle freely to stop foot cramps.

We like the slip-on style that does away with the need to tinker with laces, with side panels that stretch to widen the opening so it can welcome the foot without discomfort.

Meanwhile, the memory foam insole conforms to the foot’s shape for a personalized fit.

Build

The water-resistant upper stops water and other liquids from absorbing quickly, protecting the foot against uncomfortable wetness. It’s also stain-resistant, helping maintain the shoe’s aesthetic and function even after accidental spills. Finally, we’re glad the lightweight profile doesn’t drag on the foot even after prolonged use.

Summary

The Skechers Work Flex Advantage Bronwood Shoe is built with a memory foam insole. It has a comfortably relaxed fit, a water- and stain-resistant upper, a convenient slip-on design with stretchable side gussets, a lightweight profile, and a flexible, slip-resistant outsole.

The Dr Martens 2976 Slip-Resistant Boot has a bold vibe that looks and performs well in and out of the workplace.

We especially like the slip-on profile offering enhanced convenience, with elastic side panels easily accommodating the foot’s entry with each use.

The GRIP-TRAX outsole delivers stronger traction than classic DMs, offering better stability over slippery or unstable ground conditions.

We love the memory foam pods built into the heel and forefoot areas, offering much-needed pressure relief and protection against chafing, especially with all-day walking.

A breathable, moisture-wicking lining stops overheating to keep the feet feeling dry and fresh for much longer.

Unique Features

Sole

The GRIP-TRAX outsole is an enhanced version of the classic Dr. Martens AirWair sole, offering more superior grip and resilience that can last through tough settings and activities.

We’re impressed with its sturdy structure and how well it maintains our balance while walking on tricky surfaces.

Fit

Memory foam pods are fitted into the heel and forefoot areas, cushioning these high-wear sections to protect our skin against painful chafing and pressure from walking for extended periods. The leather upper is a bit stiff initially, but it softens and molds to the foot’s shape after the shoe’s break-in phase. The slip-on design offers superior convenience, with elastic side gussets letting the foot get in and out without discomfort.

Build

The classic DMs style never fails to amaze, with a hint of boldness that boosts outfits on and off the worksite.

We appreciate the addition of a breathable lining that keeps the air flowing freely, with moisture-wicking qualities to stop an uncomfortably sweaty feeling from overwhelming the foot.

We expect this boot to last a long time with its premium construction.

It can feel quite heavy and bulky, though, especially after being used for hours.

Summary

The Fila Women’s Memory Workshift Slip Resistant Shoe is equipped with a memory foam insole to cushion the foot, so it doesn’t directly heel the hardness of the ground underneath.

We like the streamlined silhouette that easily pairs with workwear and with more casual attire.

The durable construction is designed to withstand heavy use without easily falling apart, even in challenging conditions.

Meanwhile, the thick sole delivers continuous support but is surprisingly flexible, so it’s easier to walk without unwelcome stiffness from the bottom of the shoe.

Unique Features

Sole

The slip-resistant sole has a good grip on most surfaces for better walking stability. It’s also resistant to oil and doesn’t allow the substance to penetrate the footwear quickly.

We like the sole’s flexibility as it significantly increases the shoe’s overall comfort level, allowing the foot to move naturally without a restrictive feeling.

Fit

The memory foam insole creates a supportive platform that relieves pressure spots, protecting our feet against painful chafing and blisters throughout long hours of walking.

We discovered that some parts of the upper feel too narrow and can rub painfully on the skin.

This issue may be resolved with a longer break-in period to soften the leather upper.

Build

The shoe’s durable structure can take on demanding settings without easily breaking apart. In addition, we like the streamlined profile that gives an athletic hint, making it versatile enough to be maximized on and off the job site.

Thankfully, the shoe has perforations on the upper and a breathable lining to promote comfortable air circulation.
