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

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.

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!

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.

Being a chef and on my feet most of the day these shoes are nice and comfy for the kitchen. I would highly recommend them.

Comfy shoes, but side has split after 3 months. Shame about the quality.

These shoes are very, very comfortable and I could quite easily stand on my feet for a 12 hour shift with no problems, no aches and no pains. You don't know you're wearing anything on your feet when you have these on. I highly recommend buying these shoes.

I got a quality shoe for an affordable price, I'm super pleased.

lasted a year or so wearing 5 days a week then started to come a part round the soul of shoes the anti slip works well and are pretty comfortable
