This review is not bought, but if you wanted to give me my next pair for free, I wouldn't be mad
My go to non-slip shoe. They're true to size and work as advertised, if you're looking for a good non slip shoe that you won't regret, you should get these.Now, why should you believe me? Like a lot of other reviewers for this item, I work long hours in a slippery, kitchen environment . I've tried at least five other types of non slips shoes over the years (all more expensive than dksuko), and these shoes have become my staple.The reasons why I love them:1.Stylish,or at least passable as such. Maybe a bit vain, but I really can't rationalize spending money on shoes that I can't stand to look at. If I wouldn't wear them on a casual outing, I don't want 'em. And they feel natural to wear too. Probably because of the material, which stretches and makes it easier to put on and take off the shoe.2. They don't smell! How? I guess it has to do with them being rain boots, so maybe they're built to repel liquids and/or dry out faster, hence less opportunity for bacterial growth. It's honestly a miracle, I'm notorious for having stanky, after-work swamp foot among friends and fam.Yes, you could wash shoes over and over again to get the stank out, but the number of times/frequency with which I would have to wash other brand shoes to keep the odor down was not worth it to me.But these dksuko shoes have almost no scent whatsoever after MONTHS. Which brings me to...3. Reliable durability. Now, I don't know how long you want your shoes to last, but these shoes will retain their nonslipiness for 3-4 months of constant use (5 day, 40 hour work week use.) This is from someone who tends to drag their feet HARD for probably 20 % of that time. Also, I don't do any upkeep on the soles or tracks, so that's a solid 3 months without putting any effort into preserving the shoes.Even if you find a shoe that lasts longer, refer to point 2 why you probably would not want to even keep those shoes at that point. And if you think it's asking a lot to reorder these shoes every 3 months, consider...4. That price point, my dude. Every time I buy these shoes , they are easily half the price of competing or other top rated brands. $25 for 3-4 months vs $50-60 for shoes that'll probably last me about the same amount of time, tbh. It's a steal.Okay, those are the main reasons why you should buy these shoes. Though I still recommend you buingy them regardless, here are some things about them that might make you go hmmmm...1.) The insole...owie. Flat and hard, no bueno. It really just feels like you're stepping straight onto hard rubber, even if you have thick crew socks on . On the plus side, a decent 10 dollar insole usually fits well and will hold in place. Buying a more comfortable, insertable insole really is a necessity imo, so the shoe+a new insole does up the price point a bit. Still, both items together will likely still cost less than a different non-slip (that will probably also need an insert).2. The material is awesome rubbery type stuff, but watch the heck out with the shoelaces and the little holes you put the laces through. The holes don't have metal rings around them and they will break if you pull on a lace hard enough.Well, actually, the only times I've broken the lace hole is by accidentally stepping on a lace and then aggressively tugging on a part of it that was near the hole, thinking that the lace was tucked into my shoe...idk with the all black version it's kind of hard to actually see where the lace is if you're tired and trying to get your shoes off your foot asap.I have broken a lace hole in this or a similar fashion twice (so far) , so I thought it fit to warn any future buyers.Once the lace hole is broken, the shoe is noticeably awkward to wear because the tightness will not be equal on both sides of your foot. If you make the lace lower on both sides of the shoe, it won't feel as secure. Plus, you'll feel the difference between the shoe with the regular level of laces and the shoe with the laces on a lower level. It's a whole thing. Don't rip the lace hole. Or whatever the technical term for a shoelace hole is.TL;DR: In summary, these shoes are affordable, won't make your feet smell, and they look snazzy. Buy a good insertable insole, be mindful when tying and untying your laces, and you should be set for a few months if not longer .Well, that's about it. I'm about to buy these shoes for what I think is the 5th time, and I thought I'd leave a review before-hand in appreciation of a quality product. Thanks much.

Comfortable and waterproof
Probably the best item I've ever ordered from Amazon.. I wanted to look stylish and rainboots would have looked silly. Found these all rubber sneaker/rain shoes and man! I'm glad I got these. Wore them to Europe during quite a bit of rain. Walked a lot and they were surprisingly very comfortable, too.

cute AND functional!
I live in a harsh, northern, rural environment. It can rain for weeks as well as accumulate feet of snow each winter - which then melts in 2 weeks. This equates to sloppy, muddy, snowy/gloppy walks and drives (even the ones that are paved) many times in the year. Winter boots are too hot for half the year. I have been looking for waterproof footwear that (a) isn't a boot; (b) isn't vinyl or PVC which stiffens in the cold; (c) actually contributes to a fashionable outfit and (d) doesn't cost $50+ a pair. The shorty boots and "duck" shoes available weren't meeting all these qualifications.When I opened my Amazon package last night, I fell in love. These are neoprene, comfortable, cute (don't look like clown shoes and less than $30/pair. I gave the shoes 4 stars because I haven't used them yet, however, I did try them on with bare feet and again with athletic socks. There is plenty of room in the toe box so my toes weren't pinched even with an arch support and athletic socks. They seem over-large with bare feet because of this room.I would not wear these in a heavy downpour, a super muddy garden, or trudging through deep snow because they are laced on the top. I have neoprene boots (bought the white, Servus ones on Amazon, too) and insulated winter boots for those situations. Nor would I wear them in subzero temps as they probably won't keep your feet and ankles warm. Ice could be another situation where these shoes won't work because they don't have a lug sole.Since some of the snow is actually supposed to melt this week, I can't wait to try them outside - after I order another pair in a different color. May update my rating after that.

Great boots!
I have a section of the yard that's always wet in the springtime. I have a high instep on my left foot, so I needed a pair of waterproof boots that I could easily get on and off. THESE ARE PERFECT! They are a quality boot and very attractive. I no longer have to ask someone to pull off my boots! I'm so very glad I found these!

Practical, Stylish and Comfortable!
I wear an 8.5 and ordered a 9, they fit perfectly. However, I wore these shoes for a whole day, with socks and no inserts, and I was fine. My husband and I went to a botanical garden, then went to a couple bars and it started raining. I was able to walk in puddles with confidence and socks weren’t wet.The only complaint is that the rubber smells, even after letting them air out for a week.Otherwise, these shoes were a great purchase and super stylish.
