June 27, 2005
I sort of have this problem when it comes to shoes. The Friend in Alabama says it's a disease. I say it's a rite to womanhood and a necessity for true happiness in life...along with good bread, dark chocolate, kalamata olives, and lemon drops. (And not necessarily in that order.) Anyway - I have lots and lots of shoes. I am really fussy about the shoes I wear when I Trick or work The Restaurant. There has to be a balance of support and "squishiness", with the right amount of non-skid going on. As you know, slipping is one of the many talents I hold in my resume'. I've run the cycle of shoes and have tried about every chef clog on the market. The last pair I owned were good but they were way to industrial looking and I want something with a little spunk.

OK, this is WAY too weird. One of my really good friends just accepted a job with Crocs -- I'd never even heard of them, and all of a sudden today starts and ends with Crocs. They have a pair of flip-flops that I really want. Posted by: Fatemeh at June 27, 2005 09:00 PM Did you get the orange ones? I'm assuming so with the Mario reference. THESE ARE GREAT!!!! You are going to just love them and your feet will love you! Did you get the ones without holes in orange as well? Posted by: Kim at June 28, 2005 06:54 AM awww, man, I wish I'd known about these before I blew a gazillion dollars on Danskos. *need more shoes now* Posted by: suriel at June 28, 2005 08:23 AM They are wonderful for the beach and gardening, too. I just found them too. Posted by: sandy at June 28, 2005 09:31 AM Are they much cheaper than Danskos? Posted by: Tiberia at June 28, 2005 10:50 AM I would think you'd want the holes for ventilation. Course, sweaty, stinky feet are no match for scalding oil. Will they melt? I'm a Birkenstock fan myself, for over 10 years. Let me know how you like these--I could be converted. Posted by: Phyllis at June 28, 2005 12:34 PM I'm a total evangelist for my Sanitas shoes, 15 hours at a time and my feet merely tingle, not ache.... and I swear they save my back. but I'd be interested in how these hold up under the same circumstances. let us know! Posted by: MisChef at June 28, 2005 03:31 PM Holes are not good for the kitchen. Scalding liquids are way, way bad. Been there, done that, am glad that I had shoes with no holes. But they are super-cool looking. Report back, wouldja please? I love my two pair of Danskos and mulitple pairs of Birks. I practically live in those two brands. But orange shoes are awfully damned cool.... Posted by: Barbara at June 28, 2005 06:11 PM Wow, my Danskos have been working for me for years now....but ya gotta love the cool colors! Me thinks I must go check out the website for Crocs. Posted by: ChefCDL at June 28, 2005 08:16 PM Orange is a cool shoe color....provided you don't have size 12 feet. Then you look like yer wearing clown shoes :( Posted by: Tiberia at June 29, 2005 05:11 AM No holes in a hot and dangerous kitchen. And the styles sans holes don't come in orange. So the orange is for days I am kitchen-bound during a trick and all of the heavy prep is out of the way. And they also make a very fashionable statement at the grocery store. It's just one more reason for people to stare.
Posted by: The Food Whore at June 29, 2005 09:44 AM I am a shoe ho too. Love shoes. You should try Keens. I had the Dansko too. These are much more comfortable. Posted by: janisq at June 29, 2005 11:40 AM I'm a server, and one day a nurse came in to the restaurant with those on, and she was very keen on them...after wearing my cons all this time, I'm almost willing to look past their visual clunkiness...
