Men's Harrington II Work Shoe by Dr. Scholl's - Slip Resistant Comfort

Our review of the Men's Harrington II Work Shoe finds it best suited for men who need a professional-looking oxford that can stand up to long shifts on slippery or hard floors. The single biggest reason to consider these shoes is their lab-tested comfort and cushioning, paired with a slip-resistant Lock Step outsole that meets SATRA TM63 and TM144 standards, so they perform reliably on vinyl tile, eurotile, and steel plate surfaces. For anyone who spends hours on their feet and needs a dress-style work shoe with dependable grip, this shoe is a strong contender.

Key Features

• Performance tested: Independent lab testing shows above-average comfort and cushioning compared with industry norms, which helps reduce fatigue during long shifts.
• Lock Step Outsole: Oil-resistant and slip-resistant outsole meets SATRA TM63 and TM144 standards for confidence on slick surfaces and additional surface testing.
• Materials: Majority leather upper with manmade components provides a professional look while keeping weight down for easier movement.
• Insole technology: Anatomical cushioning in the insole delivers targeted comfort and support to reduce foot pressure through the day.
• Midsole design: Midsole absorbs shock and moves with the foot to smooth heel-to-toe transitions on hard floors.
• Lace-up fit: Four-eyelet lace-up front gives an adjustable, secure fit in a classic oxford silhouette.

Who It's For

This shoe is aimed at men working in hospitality, retail, healthcare, or other roles that require a dress-appropriate shoe with slip resistance and all-day comfort. The oxford styling works well with uniforms and business-casual attire while the protective outsole handles spills and slick surfaces.

Those who need heavy-duty construction for extreme, high-abrasion environments or who expect military-grade longevity may want to consider heavier work-specific boots; similarly, customers seeking full waterproof protection should look at shoes explicitly labeled for waterproof use.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Comfortable anatomical insole provides noticeable cushioning and support for long periods on foot.
• Reliable slip-resistant Lock Step outsole offers strong grip on vinyl, tile, and steel surfaces.
• Professional leather-dominant upper balances appearance and lightweight movement for work dress codes.

Cons

• Build quality receives mixed feedback from customers, with some reporting sole or stitching issues over time.
• Not designed as a heavy-duty waterproof or extreme-wear safety boot, so it may not suit all industrial needs.
