The product, in the report: Rugged Exposure shoes “Slip-resistant” stated on box Model: Journey Plus Wide (velcro style) 1071 Color: Black Size: 8.5 Women’s SKU: 3915923 Retail: $49.99 (sale price $19.99 at Big 5 Sporting Goods) Bar code: 2202800821 Bottom of shoe reads “oil-resistant” and “slip-resistant”
I work in an oil changing shop and we are required to wear oil-resistant, slip-resistant shoes. I purchased:
Rugged Exposure slip-resistant shoes Retail: $49.99 (bought on sale price for $19.99) Model on box: Journey Plus Wide Size: 8.5 Women’s SKU: 3915923 Bar code: 2202800821
It’s my first time purchasing this brand and bought it because it was on sale and thought they were more durable than [REDACTED] brand which I usually buy but they had run out of stock in my size.It was my second time wearing the shoes when I got injured at work. These shoes stated on the box “slip-resistant” and under the shoes “oil-resistant” and “slip-resistant” but when walking on wet surfaces, which I do often at work, they fail to function as stated. I nearly fell into the lower bay opening from the upper bay floor. I didn’t think my shoes could have been the cause of my incident until recently when I had to close shop and mop the enter shop floor. The floor wasn’t at all very oily and still almost slipped when the surface was wet. I had no grip while walking. I had no problems from shoes like [REDACTED] brand or [REDACTED] like that before. I would not recommend these shoes to anyone even for the sales price if they don’t do the job. It’s unfortunate because the shoe fit was okay but I think the outer sole is the problem. It seemed like good quality rubber of some sort but it’s not like the other slip-resistant shoes that actually work. Thanks very much for reading this report.
