Crocs Unisex Bistro Clog Slip-Resistant Work Shoes for Men & Women - Comfortable Non-Slip Kitchen Shoes for Chefs, Nurses & Restaurant Workers

I've been cooking professionally for over a decade and have used these shoes for over half that time. These things are great for a lot of reasons but the main reason is cleanliness. I like to find a high pressure hose at the end of my day and just spray the whole shoe clean, inside and out. Give them a quick wipe and they look good as new, not to mention the benefits of cleaning the inside of the shoe. These things hold up against the heat impressively well. I've had 350 degree fryer oil right out of the drain valve spilled on my entire foot, the shoe held up but it got inside over the top. Being a clog style shoe i was able to quickly remove the shoe, dump out the grease inside, spray it out and it was unaffected. The none slip sole is the expected pattern for a non slip shoe and works as it should. The material forms to your foot over time making the shoe a nice fit specifically for your foot and the bouncy rubber absorbs the impact of hard kitchen floors against your feet.i've had these shoes last a couple years but that was really too long, i like to get a new pair once a year to keep them fresh.Downsides to these shoes is they don't breathe at all being all rubber and when your feet sweat nothing gets absorbed by the shoe. I wear wool stocks made for hot conditions to help wick the moisture and that helps for me. If you live in a place where it snows you should use a different shoe for commuting as the heel is exposed and snow makes its way into the back easily.Give them a try if you work in a commercial kitchen, for the price they are a great option.
