Good safety shoe that has composite toe so is light and not nose heavy. A little wider than some shoes which makes it comfortable but feel a little clumsy when driving my sons small car which has closely spaced pedals. No problem in my van though. Sole is thick but still quite flexible and does not slip or mark. I have used the v12 pitstop model for many years which is almost identical. For me the lightness and comfort are key and this shoe is excellent in both. I would highly recommend. Ps. Compared to other safety trainers i manage to fit in 1 size smaller
