No pinching, no slipping (I sometimes will have shoes slip at the heel), no discomfort whatsoever.I also have had surgery on my big toe, so comfort is something not easy to find. They were cute with skinny jeans, Athleta city jogger pants, and casual dresses. So cute, I bought them in white also.

A pair of stylish safety shoes
Score: 4 out of 5 stars; 86 reviews
The name says it all: These “iconic” suede sneakers protect your tootsies while making a stylish statement. Most importantly, they’re very comfortable according to Zappos customers, who recommend getting a size down for optimal comfort. They're available in sizes 5.5-11.
Promising review: “Definitely order a half size down like recommend. I did that and they're still perfectly roomy. So stylish, pretty comfortable so far, don't feel the steel toe brushing your toes at all. I've always done better with flat shoes as I have issues. If you're thinking about getting them because they're qualified for your workplace, do it. I'm on my feet for about 8 hours out of my 11 hour shift. My feet don't hurt any more than normal.” — Tiffany
