Skechers Men’s Cessnock Food Service Shoe

El día que me llegaron fui a el campo a subir un cerro y pensé que se romperian pero aguantaron perfectamente, por lo tanto para mi trabajo donde tengo que estar largas horas de pie sirven de maravilla, ayudan mucho a no sentir el cansancio en los pies. Los recomiendo ampliamente.

Feels like a good shoe, might need some extra cushion.
Bought them in 14 Wide but they’re a little too big(long), but not sure if the 13Regular would fit me (since many size 13s always fit too tight or not at all) so maybe I needed 13Wide. But going to add extra inserts since I specifically need very High Arch support, standing 8 hours for work.

Price Quality Comfort 👍🏻

Buen producto, buena calidad.

As a nonslip shoe meant to be used for work this shoe is great. However, my issue is that it’s very uncomfortable. I used them for extended periods of time for over 2 yrs. Standing for long periods of time isn’t great since the insole is very thin/wears out quickly and the sole of the shoe while sturdy is not for added cushion. The outer mesh material is quite durable and can take many washes and stains; it however does not breath well and for extended use it makes your foot cramped. Overall i would say this shoe is very functional but should not be marketed as something comfortable.

They’re pretty good shoes all in all, I’ve owned about 5 pairs now. The soles always seems to deglue at exactly the same time after about 5-6 months.

Pros: breathable mesh keeps you a little cooler, shoes have pretty good support, flared heel means more nonslip surface area and good for pivoting (which I do a lot of at work), generally pretty comfortable during a 12 hour shift in a kitchen. The “captive lace but not shoelace” design is actually pretty ingenious

Cons: breathable mesh also means spills and food have a straight line to your feet, and cleaning them properly is pretty hard. The captive lace holds in soils pretty well. Soles tend to suddenly come unglued simultaneously, and shoe goo/super glue doesn’t adhere very well.

Biggest con: they’re now $80, which is nearly double what I paid the first time I got them. I would buy another pair but at this price the value proposition for what’s essentially a consumable shoe that wears out twice a year (at least) makes it pretty unattractive. There are still $40-50 shoes out there that are only 10% worse than this one. We’re rolling in the dough in a less figurative manner in the kitchen and $160-$240 a year in shoes is a little steep.

All in all if you’re doing serious dirty work in the food industry, maybe consider something in faux leather that can be cleaned off a little easier. I love the breathability of the mesh but I got tired of the constant stink, even after soaking/drying. These would be ideal and last at least a year for a manager/supervisor that occasionally hops on the line or FOH.

I have larger feet, 12, wide.. so the clog type/rubber ones that are easy to spray and wipe clean are pretty tight on my feet, so I tried these.

I just soaked and cleaned these ones before the photos, , they still look like new, they come scotchgarded (sp?) so nothing has stained them yet.

They do get the odd crumb or speck of food in the knit fabric, but nothing has gotten stuck or embedded, or needed to really be scrubbed out. That is key, because I don’t wanna fray or cut or ruin the weave. I just use an old soft bristle toothbrush to flick anything out that fells into the in it weave.

So I’m gonna get some more spray scotchgard from the store and continue cleaning them every 3-4 months or so, and see how long they last.

But they look great, and are comfy for sure. I swap the insoles every few months also; it keeps my feet and knees from getting too sore.

I enjoy these a lot. They also pass as normal shoes or sneakers.. so if you’re out in public you don’t have to feel too weird because most kitchen shoes look odd or bizzare lol.
