Shoes For Crews®, The Shoe That Grips®

I've never had an issue with a SFC shoe. Yeah, I've had to break in a pair from time to time, but I've had these for almost a month and my feet keep getting worse. First it was just sore feet after a long shift. Then it felt like one of my toes was being pushed upwards so I kept curling that foot. Now the bottom of both feet hurt the day after a shift. I called in to get an exchange and the rep was very helpful. Even though I no longer had my box and return slip, she set everything up for me and e-mailed me the UPS label. I then ordered a different pair. The same pair I had worn previously with no issues. I've had this style in the past it was the best in comfort and durability. I don't know if I got a bum pair or something changed in the past couple years, but the track record of SFC in the 10+years I've used them has been phenomenal. So I'll chalk this up to being the equivalent to an overcooked steak; it's a mistake but not the end of the world.

I have been using Shoes For Crews for almost 20 years, and have always found the quality and slip resistance to be incomparable. I average about 16-18 months of usage from each pair of shoes I own, more if I rotate them and not wear the same pair every day. The Explorer is by far the finest shoe I have ever worn, comfortable from the first day of use. My feet never hurt, even after 10 hour shifts. Well worth the money!

Good stuff!

I usually don't spend this much on my work shoes but I was tired of replacing the Cambridge every couple months when they would wear out so based on the reviews I decided to try this style. Let me start with the positives. Excellent slip resistance as with all shoes I have ever purchased from Shoes For Crews and a very nice looking shoe. Part of my decision to purchase these shoes was based on the previous reviews however I was extremely dissapointed. By far the worst pair of shoes I have ever purchased! I don't know if I got a bad pair or if they just are not the style for me. After a 10 hour day on my feet I would be so sore I could barely walk to the car. The left shoe feels great but the right one feels like I am walking on rocks. I went back to a worn out pair of Cambridge for a week and they felt better, after a week I tried them again and same thing. Based on my experience I would caution against them but most people seem to love them.

I decided to buy these shoes in hopes of something that would not kill my feet at work, I felt the difference on my first day of work, They have saved my feet. I work on wet floors all day and not a slip anywhere. I have finally found a shoe that looks good, Won't slip at all and is more comfortable than any other work shoe I have ever had. I have gone through many pairs of shoes in the last year and think these will hold up much better than other brands. I found myself recommending sfc after a few days of buying these shoes.

Fairly comfortable long wearing shoe. I am on my feet over 10 hours a day in and out of the kitchen. They are great in BOH, but good looking enough for FOH.

I actually only wore these shoes one day as I decided I had ordered the wrong size but I did try them on a soapy, slippery floor. I stood in the middle of the wet (you could see the soap) floor and even when I tried to slide, I didn't move an millimeter. It was incredible. The shoes were comfortable but too big. As a woman with wide feet I thought I'd need to order Mens shoes in order to get the width I want. I am exchanging these for a different shoe in a wide women's size. I can't wait for them to arrive. This shoe WAS comfy and I'm a bit picky...

All I got to say is that they are SO, SO, SO "COMFORTABLE". I definitely recommend these shoes to everyone. These shoes are "WONDERFUL".

After receiving a pair of shoes for crews shoes at my previous employer, I have finally found the one shoe that I will always wear. Eventhough I don't work in the foodservice environment, I enjoy the comfort and fit of the shoe. Keep up the good work.

I have used this shoe for quite some time.

I bought these last September. Not only are they slip proof but also very comfortable. They saved my feet. I manage a restaurant; as can be imagined, floors are always wet. Your shoes save enormous time when one doesn't have to worry about slipping & falling. Even though I've actually had these for a short time, the water from mopping has begun to wear at the glue in the soles...Not complaining though, they are easily repaired at the shoe repair shop here. So I am buying a second pair, to wear when the other is being reglued. These shoes are well worth the expense of having more then one pair & I still rate them a 5 overall. They have more than proved themselves for non-slippage & comfort through the 16 hour days I work 6 days a week.

This is the first pair of SFC I had since coming back to the fast food industry. They are the bomb. I have been curious and tried other kinds but this has been the best I have had since I came back. You should order these.....that is what I will probably do too!
- Steve S, Assistant Manager

These shoes are incredibly comfortable. Great for my 10 hour shift on my feet!
- john S, chef/manager

I have had this pair of shoes for just short of two years. I have worn then 5 to 7 days a week for 8 to 16 hours a day for those 2 years. They are still comfortable; still slip free and overall a great shoe.
- Thomas M, GSR

Great overall shoe. Feels good on my feet and looks good too! I feel safe at work when I am on the run getting things done.
