Frequently Asked Questions

Are work shoes good for hiking?

Yes, many work shoes are suitable for hiking, especially if they are lightweight and have good traction. However, some work boots are heavy and stiff, which can be uncomfortable for long hikes on uneven terrain. Modern hiking boots are often lighter and more flexible than traditional work boots, but some high-quality work boots can be comparable or even better suited for certain types of hiking.

Are work shoes supposed to be tight?

Work shoes should not be painfully tight; they are meant to be snug and supportive, with enough room for your toes to move freely and the ball of your foot to align with the widest part of the shoe. A comfortable fit is key, as shoes that are too tight can cause discomfort, injury, and even long-term foot problems.

Are work shoes a business expense?

For a shoe to be a business expense, it must be considered "ordinary and necessary" for your specific job and not suitable for everyday use. Normal, closed-toe shoes do not generally qualify, even if they are required for work.

Are work shoes waterproof?

No, not all work shoes are waterproof, but many are designed to be. Whether a work shoe is waterproof depends on its specific materials and construction. You must check the product specifications to determine if a pair is waterproof or merely water-resistant.

Are work shoes non slip?

Yes, most work shoes from QUIVE are designed with non-slip soles to provide reliable traction and safety on various surfaces. Models like the QUIVE Combat 3.O Pro, Hi-Trek 3.0, and SEGA DMS Work Leather Shoes feature durable, slip-resistant outsoles that ensure a firm grip whether you’re on the job, trekking, or moving through challenging environments, keeping you steady and confident all day.

Are work shoes comfortable?

Yes, modern work shoes are designed to be comfortable, but they may need a break-in period. The best work shoes provide comfort and safety through features like impact-absorbing midsoles, arch support, cushioning, and lightweight materials, but discomfort can occur if the shoes are not broken in or if they are the wrong fit.

How to wear work shoes?

To wear work shoes correctly, first ensure your feet and socks are dry, then put them on, checking that the insole is in place and your toes aren't cramped. Loosen the laces or zip up any side zips completely before inserting your foot, and then tie the laces securely but not too tightly, ensuring there are no pressure points.

What work shoes are in fashion?

In today’s fashion, durable and stylish work shoes are trending, and QUIVE perfectly embodies this with designs like the Combat 3.O Pro Mid-Calf Boots, Hi-Trek 3.0 Trekking Boots, and SEGA DMS Work Leather Shoes. These boots blend rugged strength with modern aesthetics, featuring premium leather, bold silhouettes, and practical comfort, making them not only ideal for tough work environments but also stylish enough for casual, everyday wear.

What work shoes are good for standing all day?

For standing all day, the best options from QUIVE are the SEGA DMS Casual Work Leather Shoes, Combat 3.O Pro Mid-Calf Boots, and Hi-Trek 3.0 Trekking Boots. These models are built with cushioned insoles, supportive soles, and durable leather uppers that provide comfort, stability, and breathability throughout long hours. Their sturdy yet flexible design ensures your feet stay comfortable and fatigue-free, even during extended wear.

What work shoes are good for flat feet?

Work shoes good for flat feet should have strong arch support, firm but padded soles, a stable heel counter, and a roomy toe box. Among your models, the SEGA DMS Casual Wear Work Leather Shoes and Hi-Trek 3.0 Combat Shoes are likely the best starting points: they tend to offer more flexibility in fit, cushioned support, and structure. If needed, adding a good orthotic insole to your SEGA or Combat boots can help even more for flat-footed comfort.

What work shoes are good for plantar fasciitis?

Among your models, the QUIVE SEGA DMS Casual Work Leather Shoes and QUIVE Hi-Trek 3.0 Combat Shoes are likely the best bets — they offer solid structure, leather uppers, and the possibility of inserting supportive insoles. Also, the Combat 3.O Pro Mid-Calf Boots could help if they have a firm heel back and a softened insole. Using orthotic inserts in any of these boots boosts support further.
