Paul's take on the Onyx
Orthofeet Onyx, a men's safety-toe work shoe in a synthetic upper with Orthofeet's hands-free heel. Step on the back, it folds, then springs back and holds. No laces at the start of a shift and nothing to catch.

Composite toe cap rated to ASTM F2413-24, crush-resistant upper, slip-resistant tread. Ortho-Cushion sole with a mild rocker, removable orthotic insole, extra-depth last, seam-free interior. Takes a custom orthotic. Onyx is not listed as waterproof; for wet floors, Graphite.
Medium, Wide or X-Wide? Medium (D) if your regular shoes fit across the ball of the foot. Wide (2E) if you size up for room or have a bunion. X-Wide (4E) for a bulky orthotic, swelling on shift, or extra-depth. The toe cap is rigid, so err wide. (704) 846-0301 to talk it over.
Stocked in Black only, sizes 7 to 14 in half sizes to 12. Screened and stocked by Paul Henderson, C.Ped, at our Matthews, NC store. Graphite is the boot version, waterproof, with ankle coverage and the same toe. Deciding between the two? I wrote up Onyx vs Graphite.

Questions people ask
Which width should I order?
Medium (D for men, B for women) if your usual shoes feel fine across the ball of your foot. Wide (2E for men, D for women) if they pinch there or you have a bunion. X-Wide (4E for men, 2E for women) for swelling, an orthotic, or when wide shoes still pinch. Still unsure? Call Paul at (704) 846-0301 and he'll size you by phone.
Will my custom orthotic fit?
Yes. The insole lifts out and the shoe has extra depth, so your orthotic goes in its place. Take the Orthofeet insole out first rather than stacking the two.
How does the hands-free heel work?
Tie the laces once to the fit you like. After that, step down onto the back of the shoe: the heel folds down, then springs back up around your heel. To take them off, press the back down with your other foot.
Should I order my usual size?
Most people wear their usual size. If you're between sizes, or your feet swell by afternoon, go up a half size. If your usual shoes feel tight across the ball of the foot, choose Wide or X-Wide rather than a longer size.
