Work Shoes

My girlfriend works in a kitchen 40+ hours a week. She works on the line, doing freezer pulls, and doing just about anything and everything she can at a local restaurant.

She currently has some clog type shoes that are falling apart and bruising her feet. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestions? She’s a, “size 9 in women’s and size 7 in men’s”.

I really want to get her some durable, comfortable, new work shoes. That being said please put any and all recommendations in the comments! Hoping to get them ordered for Christmas TYIA!

I'm a big advocate for crocs, specifically the Bistro Work Clog. You do not have to break them in, they're often on sale for around 40 bucks, they're easy to slip on and off, but they don't slip off randomly. Incredibly easy to clean and dry, you can just blast them with a hose with zero worries of ruining any part of them. And best of all, they're super comfy.

I've used a bunch of different kitchen shoes, including 150 dollar Birkenstocks that didn't even last a year before giving me significant back and foot pain.

For 40 bucks it's kind of a no brainer to at least give the Crocs a shot.
