Thumbs down Shoes to Fill

I am beginning a new Sous job on Tuesday.

I always like to start a new job with a brand new pair of shoes.

I've yet to find the perfect pair!!!


In the past I've had steel-toe Die Hards,Doc Martins & (non-steel)Easy Spirits.

What is your favorite shoe & why?

Non-steel toe die-hards work the best for me. They're durable, well cushioned and have a good non-skid sole. Plus, I can get them in EE width which keeps my somewhat duck-like feet happy!

Birkenstocks. I wear nothing bu Birkenstocks [except in the snow]. Don't know how well they'd work in a kitchen though. Wouldn't protect your poor toes from falling knives, marble rolling pins, hot grease, etc.

Thumbs up

I have tried quite a few of shoes and boots and finally have decided on Sika Clogs. they have a steel toe and are super comfy! They took me about a week to break in but they're worth it. I won't go back!

Hmmmmmn...
Lots of steel-toed shoes in this thread. Is this in case one of you guys drops a dinner roll?

No, Mike. It so that we can kick the sh!t out of any waiter that pisses us off at the moment.

Just kidding...maybe.

I wear Birkenstocks with anti-skid soles. They are very comfortable...The anti-skid soles really work...
