There’s been a revolution in chef shoes over the last several years: long gone are the times when being on your feet all day in a kitchen meant choosing substance over style. Nowadays, you can choose both fashion and function whether you’re behind the counter or on the street. Here are some fabulous options blending both comfort and cool.
Do The Dansko
Dansko clogs have gained a cult following both in and out of kitchens for their dedication to fit and flair, but the XP 2.0 is most beloved by chefs. They come in a range of styles and colors, too, so you can personalize your look. We like this patent leather color wash version, but you can go as sleek as basic black or bold as rainbow fleck!
Believe In Birkenstocks
A leather Birkenstock is always heaven. The company has their own version of the clog that’s long been popular, but this Tokio Super Grip style has special non-slip sole grips and a back strap that keeps your shoes in place. Plus, it comes in black or white so you can mix up your look day to day.
Slogger Smarts
Sloggers are usually intended for garden work, but that’s never stopped kitchen dynamos from making them some of their favorite shoes behind the scenes. Known for their comfortable insoles and great traction, Sloggers are also easy to clean. They have a mix of fun colors and prints as well, like this bright floral pattern we adore.
Breezy In Blundstone
While the Australian brand is known for their outdoor gear, their boots can truly go anywhere, and chefs love them for the kitchen. You can’t go wrong with whatever pair you choose, as they’re certainly made for the long haul. Many chefs like the #510 style in basic black, but there are also styles like this pair with colorful stripes for panache and purpose.
