Time for new kitchen shoes....

[joebot]

I am looking at getting some new shoes this weekend. The GM was kind enough to give me some dough to get me a new pair. I'm thinking about getting a pair of Klogs brand, anyone here ever had them before? Any other shoes in the $50-60 range that you would reccomend?
Thanks for any input or help,

Joe

I don't know that brand, but me, I swear by danskos. Worth the extra money cuz they last forever.

I'm with Devotay. If you can kick in some of your own $ to go with what your GM gave you, definitely look into some Dansko clogs. I shop at Payless and such for most of my other footwear but NEVER skimp on my work shoes! I've haven't heard of Klogs so can't weigh in on that, but I highly recommend Dansko shoes.

i can sadly say im not going with the other 2 posts i hate clogs although i have a pair, it was out of neading a pair of shoes fast, that said, my whole carear i have only worn dr. martins you can find them for probably $30 or so less than dansko's and will last you almost as long depending on how much you work, i generally get 9 months to a pair of doc's, another good pair of shoes im told and havent tried out yet are redwings a former saucier swore by them and since he has 3 times as much time in this indusrty as me and works more than i do(i put in 85+hrs) ill take his word for it and get a pair soon once im off this island......

Personally, I'm quite happy with TredSafe. You can get them in a small variety of styles at Wally-World (as far as I'm concerned, that's the only downside; WallyWorld. LOL).

Danskos all the way for me too.

Of all the shoes I have worn over the years, the best are a 'new' find to me.....Shoes-4-Crews. They are sooo comfortable, you CANNOT slip, seem to never wear-out (had for 6-mo & look/feel new), are light weight and, depending on style you buy, look great to wear to/from work and out after work.
Go on-line to buy and read the comments from others who have purchased the model you are interested in.

quoted for the truth!

Danskos! I went to two different places and they both said the same thing, dansko makes a great shoe and they are shoe that lots of Chefs in the area choose. One thing that struck me is how once I put them on and walked around the store for a bit, that my posture was straighter and my back felt better! Hey Mom ! I'm tall now heheh !
Thanks again for your help !

I have to agree on the "never wear-out" part. I had a pair for 2 years and some change before they finally got the point that I threw em out (the heel lining on the inside was wearing down to the "frame").

I don't think you can go wrong with S4C. Cheap, readily available in quite a few styles, REALLY slip-resistant, and pretty durable too.

I have worn most of the shoes mentioned. I decided long ago that Birkies were the shoes for me. I rate them best for water proof, non slip, comfort, and of course.......... style.
