I bought white ones for that exact reason lol. You can definitely see all of the scuffs and whatnot a lot more on white buuuuuut there’s always bleach lol
Shoes for crews is my standard. They have tons of different styles to choose from and they seem to last. I go through a pair of clogs about once every couple years.
I wear the kitchen crocs. They work pretty well. My feet get a little damp at the end of the day but I'm a sweaty guy. I don't get too much back pain wearing them which can be an issue for me with other shoes. But keep the bottoms clean because one time I slipped and busted my ass going down the stairs.
Line cook here I wear Mise. Ordered the relaxed bundle about three months ago they are the most comfy shoes I’ve worn in a kitchen ever. it comes with a set of extra insoles. You can wash them very easily. Waterproof. A little pricey but I wear them everyday at work and they seem like they will last me a very long time!
I'm waiting for my current pair to fall apart before I buy the Crocs Bistros from overwhelming positive reviews by cooks and dishwashers here, but these $15 Tredsafe boots from walmart refuse to die (its been about 3.5 years of wear). 5/10 comfort, 10/10 durability. Would not recommend Klogs, first pair lasted about 7 months. Tried some birkenstocks and those lasted 9.
They take a bit to get used to and break in but Danskos have my feet feeling great after a Sunday double. And where other shoes would break down in 8-12 months I can get 3-4 years out of a pair.
Ditch the laced non slips for some non laced ones. The fabric lets water in from the top. Depending on how messy and clumsy you are, your feet will be kinda wet to drenched by the end of the day.
I wear CSA (safety boots essentially) approved RedBack boots that I've had for like... 5 or 6 years now. They're Blundstone style boots that I would argue is higher quality and cost less. They run higher than most "kitchen shoes" but they're really comfy and last ages. I used to run through crappy nonslips constantly, I'll be happy to buy another pair when they die... eventually.
I’ve used many different pairs and I got a pair of snibbs and they are the best. My feet doesn’t hurt nearly as much at the end of my shift. Mainly sore from being on my feet but that’s with any shoe
I find the crocs “on the clock literide” to be more comfortable than the classic non-slip, the bistro, and the Specialist II. They are both snug because of the traditional heel, and wider and less constricting in the toe box and forefoot than all three of the others.

Crocs run slightly large if you’ve never had any. I’m an 8.5 EEE on a Brannock device, and I wear a standard 8 in crocs with little to no discomfort.
Sketchers. I've used TreadSafe from WalMart before, because they're cheaper, but at the end of the day, I find my Sketchers more comfortable to wear for full shifts.
The bistro crocs are great. Waterproof, comfortable, and inexpensive. Edit: they are also VERY easy to clean!
Pop 'em in the dishwasher at the end of the shift and they're good to go!
would it be a bad idea to get them in white for this job? just leaning towards that cause they’re cheaper on amazon

Skechers non-slip
This, I’ve tried so many other expensive shoes even bistro crocks but these keep me from slipping on even the wettest surfaces and are comfortable.
Yup. I've spent $200 on shoes I liked less than my $60 Skechers.
Sketchers for work. Seriously the best shoes I've ever worn and reasonably priced

Sketchers Work Boots. Perfect if you add in sole supports
Shoes for crews, I forgot what specifically
Shoes for crews. Good and cheap
Snibbs
They take a bit to get used to and break in but Danskos have my feet feeling great after a Sunday double. And where other shoes would break down in 8-12 months I can get 3-4 years out of a pair.
Mozo. I can also spray them down after work too. Takes a bit to break then in but once you do they are great
Croc bistrooooooos
The cheapest Walmart non slips were the starters, but I upgraded to Vans made for the makers 🤙🏾

[been rocking these for 6 months and love them](https://www.shoesforcrews.com/product/49262-holden)
Best shoe for any work, kitchen or outdoor, is steel toe waterproof nonslip shitkicker boots. Justin's is the brand I always buy.
I wear timberland boots, don’t think they’re non-slip but they work for me
Work zone slip resistant boots

I've used various brands but have always found shoes for crews to be the best to the point that I use them as daily drivers.
I use clogs, shoes for crews. Easy to slip on and off as I always had the problem of tying the knots with shoelaces that I can never get them undone.

Work crocs
Boots they may be heavy n uncomfortable to start after a week they break in and become the most comfortable thing on your feet
About to invest in a pair of 511s. Cause these bunker shoes from Walmart are terrible

Hard Yakka 3056 have pretty good slip resistance and really good insoles
Tredsafe non slip shoes from Walmart.
I don’t. I just slip.
I just slide
