Expert Review and Insights
For years, kitchen staff were stuck with a choice between clunky-but-safe clogs or comfortable-but-risky trainers. Skechers has smashed that compromise. They've poured their consumer footwear expertise into a professional product that doesn't just meet standards, but elevates the workday experience. The Summit SR feels like a premium running shoe, yet provides the grip you need when things get messy.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Pro: The hands-free Slip-Ins design is genuinely brilliant for a busy kitchen environment.
- Con: The mesh upper isn't waterproof, so be cautious around deep puddles or spills.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Northern Quarter Grill', a bustling eatery in Manchester, needed to replace their staff's worn-out footwear. They were looking for something that offered better support for long hours and improved safety on floors that were often wet or greasy, especially around the pot wash area.
"We decided to trial the Skechers Summit SRs with our kitchen team and the difference was immediate. The staff love the comfort, and I love the peace of mind knowing they have proper, certified non-slip shoes on. The fact they can just step into them when their hands are full is a real bonus."
Robert Finch – General Manager
Following the trial, the restaurant recorded a significant drop in staff complaints about foot and back pain after long shifts.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting the Right Fit
- Always try on new work shoes at the end of the day, when your feet are slightly swollen.
- Wear the same type of socks you would normally wear for a shift.
- Ensure there's about a thumb's width of space between your longest toe and the end of the shoe.
- The heel should feel snug and secure, not rubbing or slipping as you walk.
Keeping Them Fresh
- These shoes are machine washable! Use a gentle wash cycle with cold water.
- Place them in a pillowcase or laundry bag to protect them during the wash.
- Never put them in a tumble dryer. Always allow them to air dry completely away from direct heat.
- Regularly wipe the soles to keep the treads clear of debris for maximum grip.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these men's shoes, or are they unisex?
A: This model is designed and sold in men's sizing. Please refer to the Skechers size chart to find the equivalent size if needed.
Q: How good is the grip on oily kitchen floors?
A: The sole is specifically designed and certified for slip resistance, performing well on both wet and moderately oily surfaces commonly found in professional kitchens.
Q: Are these shoes fully waterproof?
A: No, the engineered mesh upper is designed for breathability, not for being waterproof. They can handle minor splashes but are not suitable for submersion.
Q: What does the EN ISO 20347:2022 standard actually mean?
A: It is the European safety standard for 'Occupational Footwear'. It certifies that the shoe has passed rigorous testing, including for slip resistance, making it suitable for professional use.
Q: Can I put my own orthotic insoles in them?
A: The cushioned insole is secured for stability, but in most cases, a slim orthotic can be comfortably placed on top of the existing footbed.
Q: How do I clean them?
A: These Skechers are machine washable. We recommend a cool, gentle cycle and then letting them air dry completely.
Q: What is the Heel Pillow for?
A: It's a soft, cushioned pad inside the heel that helps to hold your foot securely and comfortably in place, preventing rubbing and slipping.
Q: Are these suitable for front-of-house staff?
A: Absolutely. Their modern, trainer-like style makes them smart enough for customer-facing roles, while providing the comfort and safety needed for a long shift.
The Skechers Work Advantage: Comfort Meets Compliance
Choosing Skechers for your team goes beyond just ticking a box for safety footwear. It's an investment in staff wellbeing and operational consistency. Skechers has built a global reputation on comfort technology, and they now apply that same relentless innovation to the professional sphere. By providing shoes that feel good from the first wear, you can reduce the 'break-in' period and minimise complaints related to foot, leg, and back pain, which can contribute to staff fatigue and absenteeism. For a business owner, this means a happier, more energetic, and more reliable team. The Skechers men's slip resistant work shoes deliver the best of both worlds: consumer-grade comfort that your staff will love, and professional-grade safety that your business can depend on.
