Being a server at a restaurant can leave you with sore feet from running around all day. But it doesn’t have to! We’ve compiled a list of the best work shoes for servers because you deserve to be comfortable at your job. Before we get started looking at the shoes, here are some things you should keep in mind while you’re shopping. Afterward, check out all of the amazing shoes that we found.
Upper Material: The upper material is what the main body of the shoe is made of. Most of the shoes on this list are made of leather, but some are made of super lightweight EVA foam instead.
Gender: How do the sizes run? Unisex shoes usually list sizes for both genders, but when you want to buy a shoe that’s made for the opposite gender you must know how to compare your sizes.
Slip Resistant: Slip-resistant shoes will make sure that you stay on your feet even on the slickest of floors. This is a useful feature when you’re going to be ducking into the kitchen at a restaurant.
Style: There are a few different styles of work shoes, from slip-ons, clogs (which are a special type of wide-toed slip-ons), to the normal lace-up shoes that you’d expect. It’s up to you which you want to wear!
Color: What color are the shoes? Most of the shoes that are specifically branded for servers are in black, as that is the most universally compatible color with multiple different restaurant uniforms. Some even come in brown!
Oil Resistant: Oil-resistant shoes won’t stain or slip when introduced to oil. Some shoes will remain slick if they’ve been introduced to oil even if it’s been cleaned off, so look for this if your workspace is frequently oily.
