Types of kitchen shoes

There are several types of shoes in the kitchen field:

- Kitchen clogs are slightly more comfortable than moccasins at the expense of protection;

- Kitchen moccasins have a closed shape without laces, which prevents liquid penetration and bacterial retention;

- Kitchen sneakers are increasingly used in kitchen environments for the comfort they provide.

The kitchen shoe must comply with EN 20345 standard in order to ensure workplace protection. The EN 20345 standard provides a number of protections such as:

- The protective toe cap, it protects your toes from all risks of crushing and impacts;

- A water-repellent upper, it guarantees protection against low and high temperature liquids;

- A non-slip sole, it reduces the risk of slipping when in contact with wet or greasy floors.

In order to cover all types of protection, we generally choose kitchen safety shoes of type S2 SRC, but we can also choose to take kitchen shoes of type S3 which add additional protection: the puncture-resistant sole.

The advantages of kitchen shoes

Kitchen shoes are generally made of microfiber or leather, the material determines their effectiveness and ease of maintenance:

- Leather is a resistant material, but which needs maintenance, it is comfortable, water-repellent and has good breathability. There are models of kitchen shoes in coated leather which helps avoid maintenance problems.

- Microfiber is a material that is particularly easy to maintain and ensures good hygiene, which makes it an excellent material for kitchen professions.

There are men's kitchen shoes and women's kitchen shoes in order to adapt to the morphology of women's feet being thinner and less wide than men's feet. A removable anatomical insole is an important point, as it allows conforming to the shape of the foot and therefore improving comfort. Since the insole is more exposed to wear, it is interesting that it be removable in order to change it if the first one no longer suits you or is too worn.

The kitchen shoes have the 20345 standard which certifies that the shoe has the required safety classifications in order to ensure your safety at work.

Kitchen shoes are essential, as they help protect feet from potential risks caused by hot liquids, sharp objects and chemicals. Additionally, they help maintain a safe and clean work environment.
