This is my 3rd or 4th pair of these shoes. Working crazy hours, they last about 6-7 months of straight abuse. 12 hour days, 5-10 miles in steps per day. They are super comfy, but i do recommend insoles about 2-3 months in (if you're like me and have crazy high arches). They are very liquid-proof, which is great for working behind the bar or behind the line. When they're fresh out of the box, you may slip some, but that will stop after your 3rd shift and they will be perfectly stable and grippy, even in the most sus of situations. I wear a women's 10 and I have narrow feet with very high arches. These work great for me!

I have tried many different brands of chef shoes from Sketchers to Dansko to Shoes for Crews, Keep is my favorite shoe by far. I wore them this whole week (catering has been crazy this week) out in 55 hours or more and my feet weren’t sore. Feels like I am walking on a yoga mat all day. They’re easy to clean. Definitely buying a couple more pairs.
This is my third or fourth pair. I found this size 9 to be incredibly tight. Mostly width wise. I’ll be ordering a half size bigger here soon. Bit slippery on water though. Great shoe otherwise!
I love how easy they are to wipe off because as you can see my shoes get messy FAST
I love the shoe, they feel amazing inside and out. My only issue is they're a little narrow at the toes, unless I didn't see it I wish they had a choice for a wide option, other than that I'll definitely get another pair sometime soon!
About 2 work weeks in and over 100 hours … I’ve had bistros, birks, and vans makers in the last 15 years and so far these hold it and surpass in comfort .. Will give an update in a month .. I’m on my feet from baking in am till service ends at the end of the night .. my feet are horrible, but hopefully not anymore… ❤️💛💚
Been in the restaurant business for 16 years These are the most comfy kitchen shoes I’ve owned They look and feel great! Will update my review after a couple weeks of use But so far they are awesome! Will buy again
On my 2nd pair! Best kitchen shoes I’ve found! Lightweight, not much stains them. No more scraps of food caught in my laces, as they sit up high. And not to mention they look great and your coworkers will notice them and ask about them!
Los sapatos son excelentes además están en contacto contigo astaque los recibes i llegan rapidísimo yo los super recomiendo
Great customer service! Had to do an exchange in sizes and it shipped fast and customer service reached out right away! Perfect shoe for work for people who stand all day
So comfy and great!!
After 15 yrs in Birkenstocks it was time to try something new and I’m glad I did. I absolutely love these things. Stylish comfortable and easy to clean. Also, the price point is great. Definitely ordering the high tops too for when the winter inevitably comes.
They feel great. They look good. I couldn’t be any happier
1600 hours later, 5 days a week in a non stop kitchen. Working fryers, oil and grease all over. These shoes keep me more than planted after a 10 hour shift. Will be buying several more.
Love these shoes!! On my 2nd pair. Totally non-slip, like 99% waterproof (even to make a Canadian quick cooler for your soup). Comfortable and they don’t look dumb or clunky. 10/10
They arrived just in time for the flash floods in NY & i was extremely happy my feet could remain dry!
This is my 2nd pair. Love the shoes! Perfect for when I travel to Europe or really anywhere I have to do some walking. I only wish there were more colors available rather than just black.
The shoes are nice, but they’re definitely not slip resistant. At work if there’s a wet spot I’ll always slide and slip when I walk on it
Excelente gracias
These shoes are THE ONLY shoes I will wear for work! I refuse to even look elsewhere. I’ve been in the food/beverage industry for almost 20yrs now… Anyone who knows, KNOWS that those 10hr-15hr shifts (constantly on your feet, no time to sit unless it’s a bathroom break), does a lot of damage. I used to go through just my work shoes every 2mo-3mo, not only due to wear/tear, but also due to that unbearable smell (if you know, you KNOW). These shoes make me feel like I’m walking on clouds… They’re comfortable, extremely breathable, provide solid ankle/heel support, and they’re non-slip. They’re also basically 100% waterproof… I’ve actually (accidentally) dumped an entire bucket of gross, icky mop-water on my feet while wearing these, and the water seriously just rolled right off… that’s incredible!!! They’re super stylish, too, which is a bonus! I actually buy 2 pairs at a time (one for work, and the other for wearing out on my days off). I’ll never have to look for another company… “Keep” is my brand for life!!
Extremely positive have always loved Keep products. Very durable shoes :-)
I stand on concrete frequently for my job and these are so comfortable I sometimes forget I've been on my feet all day. Highly recommend them.
Super comfortable work shoes!! I love em
Absolutely comfortable straight outta the box! Love the simplicity of the design! Definitely will be getting them again.
These shoes are super cute and really comfortable. The only problem is they aren't as non-slip as I need them to be. I've had so many close calls wearing these. If that feature isn't as necessary for your job, these are fantastic. Unfortunately, I can't really wear mine without a risk of falling. Bummed cause I really like them otherwise.
Professional chef of 25 years. 20k plus steps a day. Switched to this shoe 6 years ago and never thought about wearing a different shoe again. Each pair last between 9 months to year. Easily cleanable. 💯recommend
Your shoes are some of the best around .
This is my third pair, these are the most comfortable shoes ever!
Awesome!!! So comfortable and so easy to clean. I work in a bakery and am on my feet all day. I wear them on off days because of how comfortable they are.
So comfy! Kept my feet dry
Just amazing really. Back is saved
Very nice looking shoes. Received lots of compliments at work. They walk like sneakers and are very easy to clean. I like them a lot. Only wondering if they will be available with oil resistance in the future.
I love these 20 years in the industry and they're like not wearing shoes they're so lightweight and stylish. Unfortunately I was dragged by a car two day after getting the pair and had to have my femur and hip operated on so the two eyelet design and pillows shoe has come in handy for medical purposes as well.Im a life time customer
They’re great shoes!
Love these shoes! Padding on the heels *chefs kiss*!
Comfortable for sure. But not very non slip, I’m sliding around all over the place. Be careful when you mop.
Love them!
Very comfortable! They molded to my feet
Your company is awesome. Bought 2 pairs and was able to exchange the wrong size for the right size. These were for my son, who loves them. They look nice and he says they're very comfortable.
Amazing. Husband is very happy with his new kicks.
