Meredith Sport N is a variation on our service profession shoe. Meredith Sport N s footbed has great cushioning and arch support and is removable for those who would prefer to use their own orthotics. The difference between the Meredith Sport N and Meredith Sport is that the grip pattern on the Meredith Sport N's sole is integrated into the light weight midsole (as opposed to separate rubber inserts). While the sole is slip resistant, it is not certified as oil slip resistant.
