When it comes to kitting out a professional team, footwear is often an afterthought, but it shouldn't be. The Shoes For Crews Condor II is a workhorse.

It's a smart, professional choice for any serious kitchen.
Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools View Profile →
- Top-Tier Grip: The SRC-rated sole provides brilliant traction, even on freshly mopped floors.
- Classic Styling: The design is highly functional but might feel a bit traditional for some tastes.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Rose & Thistle, a bustling pub in York, decided to standardise their team's footwear after a near-miss slip in the kitchen. They needed something that was comfortable for 12-hour shifts but, most importantly, offered best-in-class slip resistance to improve workplace safety.
"Since we kitted out the entire kitchen and bar team with the Condor IIs, the difference is night and day. The team feels more secure on their feet, and I have peace of mind knowing we've made a solid investment in their safety."
Robert Green – General Manager
The result? A noticeable boost in team confidence and zero slip-related incidents reported in the nine months since the switch.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Ensure the fit is snug but comfortable, with a little room for your toes to move.
- Wear them for a few hours at home first to allow the leather to mould to your feet.
- Lace them up firmly to provide proper ankle and arch support for long shifts.
- If you use custom orthotics, swap out the removable insole before your first wear.
Keeping Them Going
- Wipe down the leather uppers with a damp cloth at the end of each day to remove grime.
- Apply a neutral or black leather polish once a week to keep the material supple and protected.
- Periodically remove the insoles to allow them and the inside of the shoe to air out completely.
- Regularly check the sole's tread for significant wear to ensure slip resistance isn't compromised.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What does the 'SRC' rating on these shoes mean?
A: SRC is the highest possible slip-resistance rating under EN ISO 20347. It means the shoes have been successfully tested for grip on both soapy ceramic tiles and oily steel surfaces, covering most hazardous floor conditions.
Q: Are these Condor II shoes waterproof?
A: They are water-resistant. The leather upper and SpillGuard membrane will protect you from splashes and light spills, but they are not designed to be fully submerged in water.
Q: Do these shoes have a steel toe cap?
A: No, the Condor II is a metal-free design, making it lighter and more flexible than a traditional safety boot. It does not offer toe protection from impacts.
Q: Are they suitable for both men and women?
A: Yes, these are Shoes For Crews unisex chef shoes, designed with a versatile fit that is suitable for all staff members.
Q: Can I use my own orthotic insoles with these shoes?
A: Absolutely. The cushioned insoles that come with the shoes are removable, so you can easily replace them with your own custom orthotics for a personalised fit.
Q: How should I clean these black slip resistant catering shoes?
A: For daily cleaning, simply wipe them down with a damp cloth. To maintain the leather's condition and appearance, we recommend using a quality black leather polish occasionally.
Q: Is the collar really comfortable for a long shift?
A: Yes, the collar and tongue are both generously padded to prevent rubbing and provide soft cushioning around the ankle, which makes a big difference during long periods of standing and walking.
Q: What do the 'OB' and 'E' parts of the safety rating stand for?
A: 'OB' signifies that it meets the basic requirements for occupational footwear without a protective toecap. 'E' indicates that the heel region has energy absorption properties, helping to reduce impact on your joints.
The Shoes For Crews Promise: Safety You Can Stand On
Choosing Shoes For Crews is about more than just buying footwear; it's a proactive investment in your business's safety culture.

By significantly reducing the risk of slip-and-fall accidents—one of the most common workplace injuries—you protect your staff, reduce potential downtime, and demonstrate a genuine commitment to their well-being.

It's not just a shoe; it's peace of mind, shift after shift.
Explore more from Shoes For CrewsHow Does 'SpillGuard' Actually Protect You?
You see 'SpillGuard' listed as a feature, but what does it really do? It's a protective membrane cleverly integrated into the shoe's forefoot, right where splashes and spills are most likely to land. This invisible barrier stops hot liquids from seeping through the leather and reaching your skin, providing a crucial layer of protection against burns from things like hot oil, coffee, or water.
Think of it like having a waterproof jacket just for the front of your shoe. While the rest of the shoe remains breathable, this targeted section acts as a shield. It doesn't make the shoe fully waterproof, but it's designed to deflect the most common kitchen hazards, keeping your feet safer and drier throughout your shift.
Who Should Buy This?
- Restaurant Kitchens: An essential for chefs and kitchen porters navigating hot, wet, and often greasy floors during a busy service.
- Cafés & Bakeries: Perfect for baristas and bakers who are on their feet all day and need reliable, non-slip work shoes.
- Event Caterers: Ideal for staff working in varied locations where floor surfaces can be unpredictable and safety is paramount.
- Hospitals & Care Homes: Provides critical safety and comfort for healthcare staff working long shifts on hard, polished floors.
