Dansko pro clogs... I love them and like another poster I've taken to wearing them even when I'm off so I'm thinking I'm going to get me a pair of dansko shoes for every day!

Depends on the shift.

For very busy services I prefer to wear Nike skate shoes with tons on padding and support + the Dr Scholls insoles. Makes the hustle easier on the feet, not so great for my back.

The rest of the week I'm wearing Birkis. A little pricey but they last a really long time...the insoles can be replaced before the shoe if need be (and it molds to the contours of your foot after you break it in real good). At the end of a shift I can spin 'em through the dishwasher and they are clean/sanitary and ready for the next shift. Had been wearing mostly sneakers for the past year or so in my last job and since switching back to the birkis i have a wicked pain in my right foot running from my big toe to my ankle...I can literally feel the ligament/tendon/whatever squeaking and stretching. Don't know what's up with that but I don't notice until I get home so...whatever.


Everyone at my new workplace swears by bistro crocs...they look like pretty nice shoes. At $40 I'm tempted to get a pair of those sweet red ones.

as embarressing as it is, i wear sketcher clogs right now.

i needed shoes, had no money, and they were 25$. they've also lasted over 1000 hours and have kept my back pain at ease :thumb:

shoes

I personally wear a brand called "KLOGS" 25 years, and I finally found shoes that are comfortable and non-skid.

i was in the birkenstock shop a few days ago and tried on a pair of bistro crocs...ugh, those things are terrible. feels like pins and needles under your feet. i just dont get it.

tried on danskos too. they seemed even heavier than my birkis. and I dunno how i feel about leather in the kitchen.

im stickin with my birkis. they're in the dishwasher right now, actually. can't beat that.

btw, does anyone know of a reputable site where one could order replacement footbeds for birkis clogs...they were $30 in store. a brand new pair of them is only $90...ugh.

Comfy though...5 years later and mine are still kicking.

Danskos are definitely on the heavy side and that did take me some getting used to as did learning to walk in clogs and not constantly fall out of them! I think I've converted one of our new hires to danskos.. she has payless cheapies right now and they are really hurting her so when she was on a break and I was in the back I let her try on one of my clogs and all she said was... I'm going shopping tonight, these are great... We're on our feet all the time so the better the footwear we have the better for us I think!
