Expert Review and Insights
Shoes For Crews has built its reputation on one thing: grip. The Colly trainer is a fantastic example of this, offering a level of traction on slick floors that really has to be experienced to be believed. It’s a smart, modern-looking shoe that doesn’t scream 'safety footwear', making it a great pick for venues where staff move between the kitchen and front-of-house.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →
- Best in Class Grip: The outsole performance on wet and greasy tiles is genuinely exceptional.
- Not Fully Waterproof: The water-resistance handles splashes, but won't survive full submersion.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Anchor Line', a bustling seafood restaurant in Oban, needed to upgrade their staff's footwear after two near-miss slips in the kitchen during a busy summer service. They chose the Shoes For Crews Colly for its reputation for grip and comfort.
"The difference was immediate. The team feels more secure on their feet, especially when we're at our busiest. They're comfortable for a full double shift, and the complaints about sore feet have completely stopped. A brilliant bit of kit."
Robert Davies – Head Chef
Since the switch, The Anchor Line has had zero slip-related incidents and reports a noticeable improvement in staff morale during long services.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Check the fit is snug but not tight; your feet may swell slightly during a long shift.
- Wear them around the house for an hour or two to break them in before their first full shift.
- If you use custom orthotics, simply take out the removable insole and replace it with your own.
- Ensure laces are tied securely to prevent them from becoming a trip hazard themselves.
Keeping It Going
- Wipe down the uppers with a damp cloth at the end of each day to remove food and grime.
- Use a small brush to clear out any debris from the clog-resistant sole treads to maintain maximum grip.
- Allow the shoes to air out completely overnight; avoid leaving them in a sealed locker.
- Check the removable insole every few months and replace if it becomes compressed or worn out.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these shoes completely waterproof?
A: They are water-resistant, which means they'll repel splashes, spills, and light rain to keep your feet dry. They are not designed to be fully submerged in water.
Q: How do I clean them?
A: Simply wipe the upper with a damp cloth. For the sole, use a brush to remove any built-up debris from the treads to ensure the grip remains effective.
Q: Is the insole replaceable?
A: Yes, the cushioned insole is fully removable, so you can replace it with a new one or use your own custom orthotics for a perfect fit.
Q: Are they heavy?
A: No, they are designed to be lightweight and flexible to minimise foot fatigue, even during the longest shifts.
Q: Are these unisex slip resistant kitchen trainers suitable for front-of-house too?
A: Absolutely. Their modern, casual trainer style makes them perfect for staff who move between the kitchen and customer-facing areas.
Q: What does 'antistatic' mean for a shoe?
A: It means the shoe is designed to dissipate static electricity, preventing the build-up of a charge. This prevents uncomfortable static shocks.
Q: I stand for 10 hours a day. Are these comfortable enough?
A: Yes, they are specifically designed for long periods of standing and walking, with a cushioned insole and supportive structure to maximise comfort.
Q: How does the clog-resistant sole work?
A: The grooves in the outsole are specifically shaped to prevent food, grease, and dirt from becoming compacted, which helps maintain maximum surface contact and grip.
The Shoes For Crews Promise: Safety You Can Stand On
Choosing Shoes For Crews is about more than just buying a pair of shoes; it's an investment in a culture of safety.

Providing your team with footwear they can trust shows you care about their wellbeing, creating a more stable and confident workforce that can focus on performance, not on watching their step.
Explore more from Shoes For CrewsHow TripGuard Helps You Move Safely
Ever caught your toe and stumbled when walking from a smooth kitchen floor onto a carpeted dining area? That's a common trip hazard. 'TripGuard' is Shoes For Crews' clever solution to this exact problem. It's a special tapered design at the very front of the outsole.
Think of it like a tiny, built-in ramp on the tip of your shoe. Instead of a hard, 90-degree edge that can catch on uneven surfaces or different floor types, the TripGuard allows your foot to glide smoothly over the transition. It’s a small detail that makes a huge difference to your safety when you're moving quickly between different zones in a restaurant or hotel, drastically reducing the chance of a forward lurch or fall.
