First off, the shoes fit nicely! The shoes state they have a roomier fit than a standard shoe and they weren't kidding. I was worried because in person the shoes look pretty small compared to some wider shoes I own. It feels nice to have that wiggle room. They also don't have shoe laces to tie, which is probably a plus to most people. Would like to have some means of adjusting how tight it was, but if you get your proper shoe size it should be okay. They are also pretty sturdy and I hope they last me longer than my other shoes.
However, while the roomier fit doesn't make my feet feel constricted, I would have liked to have the shoes a bit tighter around the ankles. Also would have liked for a bit more support. Skechers uses memory foam for almost every shoe that they sell and I never liked it. I still don't like it much because I can never have enough support with the memory foam that they use in general. That is just on my feet though. Every foot is different and the memory foam could be perfect for your feet. Normally you can't fit an insole well in a shoe whose insole doesn't come off, but the roomier fit might help with that so I might try and see if I can fit one in my shoe. It's not meant to be used like this though and I'm only doing this because I need a bit more than what the memory foam can give me.
As for the rest of the stuff (i.e. anti slip and insulation against electrical stuff) the anti slip bottoms work extremely well. Works well under wet conditions and better than the average on icy conditions. Keep in mind that these are designed for mainly wet floors or a slippery surface that you may encounter. In terms of outdoor snowy or icy conditions, while you may have less of a chance of slipping please still proceed with caution as you can still slip if you are not careful. I cannot speak on the electical insulation because I have not tried to test that myself. My line of work doesn't have me ever dealing on a situation where I would ever accidentally step on something that can shock me.
Overall, these shoes are pretty comfortable with regards to how easy they sre to slip on and how much room you have for your feet, and do what they advertised. However the arch support is really up to preference. If you have used memory foam insole shoes like Skechers before and you had no issues in the past with them then you will like the support these have. If you are like me and the memory foam just isn't enough for you you might want a shoe that either has a removable insole so you can add your own, or you might want something that is designed with more support.
