Skechers Men's Mariner Industrial Shoes

Update 5/26/19: I just bought my second pair of these boots. I still have the original pair and they are super comfortable and have held up well. I decided to purchase another pair even though the originals are still in good shape. There are a few bits of stitching coming loose around the toe seam so I figured I'd pick up another pair now before they ended up being discontinued - plus the price just dropped over $10. This new pair will be used for work and the originals will be downgraded for casual wear on the weekends or when not at work.These are still the most comfortable pair of boots I have ever owned and I am 63 years old and have worn a shoe style boot pretty much my entire adult life. If you like a wide width boot look no further.Original Review: These boots are awesome. They fit perfect, are super comfortable, not too hot in warm weather and look great. I had a pair in black that I got from a local store a few years ago and the finally wore out. I was intent on getting the same pair but could not find them and I searched the net for a long time. Problem was I did not know the model by name. Then I came across these and could tell the were the same model I had before, just not available in black. It took a while before my size was available too since I needed the Extra Wide width. With the EEE width I was able to go with an 11.5 versus 12 inch which makes for a great fit for me.I am so pleased with how the look. I was not sure about the brown, but it's much more of a distressed leather look which I like. I actually like them better than the black ones I owned previously. I wear jeans pretty much all the time, and they go together well. I can only assume they will wear as well as the last pair. If things go south too soon I will update my review.For now though. I can't recommend these enough. Great boot.

Decent shoe. This is my second pair. I like the boot style sole as it provides a bit better stability for this older person out doing yard work.

I like the style too. And the price is quite reasonable. Amazon recommended size 13 for me when 12 is my normal size. The problem is that they are quite long, so there is unused space up front in my case. Other size 12s I have are shorter, but width is my main concern and these are fine in size 12. I would suggest you order the size you normally wear and not necessarily the Amazon suggestion. They do not run small.Quite comfortable, no long break-in needed, but I always add an insert anyway.

The Skechers Men’s Mariner Industrial and Construction Shoes in Dark Brown are exactly what my husband needed for long days on his feet. These shoes are built tough with great durability to handle rough work environments without wearing down.What really impressed him was the comfort level—they have excellent cushioning and support that kept his feet feeling great, even after hours of standing or walking. The fit (8 US) is true to size, and the shoes feel sturdy yet flexible enough for all-day movement.The slip-resistant soles give him confidence on slippery surfaces, and the dark brown color looks sharp enough for casual wear too. Whether you’re in construction, industrial work, or just need reliable tough shoes, these Skechers are a fantastic choice.Highly recommend for anyone needing safety, comfort, and style all in one—definitely five stars!

Great shoes and very comfortable

Nice boots!!

Not what I expected when I saw them,, very heavy, hard to break in. I was looking for a casual shoe to just wear around that is very comfortable. I have worn them around the house and a few times to lunches etc and can t quit get them ok. Like the military I should walk a mile down a creek and then walk them dry.

The pair in the photo was purchased in 2011. The glue failed recently, otherwise this is a great shoe. So great that i ran the model number and found the same exact shoe - 13 years later.I separated the upper from the midsole. All of the stitching was in great shape, the steel shank was still well anchored, the soles are in fantastic shape. I glued them back together with carpenter's contact cement (the glues intended for shoes don't work), and they're back on the road. I bought 2 more pairs to ensure i'll have this model til i'm dead.The hefty sole and steel shank support well enough to prevent/rehab fasciitis in my feet. Not so with running shoes. Boots offer great support, and weigh a ton. These are the best of both worlds. I oil my shoes with mink oil regularly. It darkens them, but it's worth the longevity. The final photo is the new, oiled shoe next to the 13 year old version.I own hand made shoes from Oregon and Vietnam. I love the stitched, leather approach to shoe construction, but cobblers are thin on the ground these days - and they come at a premium. I bought 4 pairs of shoes this go around, and spent less than one pair of handcrafted footwear. Don't pull your shoes off by prying on the soles, it separates the glued upper from the midsole; oil your leather shoes to preserve them; and glue your modern shoes back together when they come apart. Invest the extra cash. :)Like all things fine that the old world enjoyed, lesser materials and expertise have changed the face of craftsmanship. Shoes aren't what they used to be, but this modern version is handsome and durable. Would that we could say the same for art, architecture, manners...
