Shoes for Crews Men's Vegan Leather Slip-Resistant Work Sneakers – Comfortable, Water-Repellant, Non-Slip, Removable Insoles, Ideal for Restaurant Catering Kitchen, Chef-Footwear – Freestyle II

Amazing. Fit instantly due to the wider toebox. Tough-looking, bought to replace mesh-topped trail-runners. Smart casual. Grip is good for basic hiking (have tried) and winter use. Cheap. Vegan, of course. Just all-round practical and more ethical than usual. Very glad these exist. Thank you.

Firstly these fit the uniform requirements of UK McDonalds stores. The shoes are sturdy and well made and far more grippy than you might expect. Having worked multiple long shifts in these shoes I haven't had the slightest slip on wet and/or greasy floors whatsoever and I tend to be a fairly unbalanced person. These shoes are absolutely worth the money. The shoes come with a small tool to pick debris out of the soles which is much appreciated, if I had any complaints it would be how much debris gets stuck there (however to their credit it hasn't decreased the non slip capabilities so far). The shoes have had water spilled on them during shift from doing the dive station and my feet have been bone dry at the end of the shift. Which brings me on to my next point breathability, these shoes are great in this regards as they feel light and airy leaving your feet room to breathe while remaining sturdy and from what I can tell waterproof. A complaint on my last note would be that they provide little to no arch support so can be painful to walk in after you leave the even floors of your store. Some insoles wouldn't go amiss, but they are comfortable for the duration of your shift.

2022 Update: After 11 months of regular use the upper material started to flake away and by the end of the 12th month the shoes were no longer water resistant and had to be replaced. They were worn exclusively at work, but in a busy kitchen doing 8-10 hour shifts 2-6times a week. This is hard on footwear so I think they did well. The soles showed hardly any wear at all btw. I have knocked a star off though because we found that the tight cross hatch pattern on the sole is a magnet for dirt and grease, and so the level of grip dropped off significantly as they became clogged. It also meant having to scrape out the grooves after every shift, which became a bit of a chore. My son found that being on his feet for so long gave him ankle pain, and on a recommendation from a colleague we ordered steel toed work boots from Amazon. He loves them for the support they give, and hasn't had an issue with ankle pain since. He also reports that, because the open pattern on the slip resistant sole doesn't get clogged up during his shift, the boots keep their grip. Overall I would say that these shoes are more suited for people who are serving or front of house, where the conservative looks will pass muster in any establishment and food and grease clogging is less of an issue. 2021: Bought these for my son, who works in McDonalds, usually in the kitchen. He only wears them at work, so not going to or from the store or socially. The tread of his first (adidas) shoes wore smooth on the ball of the foot after 6 months, and a cheap replacement pair from JD Sports only lasted 5 shifts before the sole wore through! Bought these as he often gets water and hot oil spills. He has found them extremely comfortable (important when you are on your feet for 8-10hours at a time) and oil and water leak proof. After 6 months hard use the soles look as new with no signs of wear, and the uppers and stitching are in just as good a condition. The sole pattern is a simple, tight criss-cross pattern and, in a busy kitchen with lots of spillage they do get clogged up by the end of the night, but so does every other type of shoe he has used. At least the regular pattern means that I can clear them after every shift in 5 mins over the sink using a wooden sucker stick. There are cheaper shoes available which we have bought but, in my experience, they have always worn out at this point due to the tough conditions, whilst these more expensive shoes are still as new. Recommended.

Brought these shoes and was on the fence however got a pair delivered next day. Upon wearing them for work these are comfortable (If you change the insoles) and perfect for being on my feet all day! Size was perfect and somewhat waterproof. Will be buying again when I need a new pair!

Get for work no more slips great price

Shoes were great, definitely slip proof however I have only had them for just over a month and a half and they are already falling apart, the upper has come off of the sole creating a hole. This makes them useless for the working environment. Disappointed.

These are fairly wide fitting which I need and find hard to get in most safety shoes. The grip is second to none - I would never wear any other grip having tried various others the shoes for crews grip is perfect for kitchen floors. A lot of chefs don’t know about these. I also put extra gel insteps in for extra comfort. I can do a 12 hour shift without any pain in these. They don’t get smelly like trainers and are easy to clean. Very water tight so things like pot wash and squeedgieing a floor you never get wet.

first time with this brand and type of shoe and must say very comfortable and definatly buy again not the best looking shoe from a point of view smart but its functional

Perfekt, einfach nur zum nochmal kaufen

Perfette su pavimenti bagnati ed olio, comode come scarpe da ginnastica, meravigliosa alternativa alle scarpe spacca piede antinfortunistiche, consigliate!

Zapatos cumple con lo que dicen son antideslizantes en todas las superficies de suelo planas y rugosas. No resbala en superficies de aceite y agua. Por esa parte todo ok 5 de 5estrellas. Por otro lado, la parte de comodidad le pongo 4 sobre 5. Porque?, son cómodas hasta un cierto límite, si te pasas muchas horas de pie comienza a doler un poco la planta del pie. Yo la acompañaría de una buena plantilla en ese caso. Son fáciles de limpiar con un trapito. Pd: llevo dos meses con ellas y sigue tal cual las compré

Perfect product

Super confortables et anti-dérapantes. Rapport Q/P exceptionnel
