Expert Review and  Insights

For kitchen staff, the right footwear isn't a luxury; it's a vital piece of kit. The Skechers Axtell is a fantastic hybrid, offering the slip-resistance you'd expect from a work shoe with the kind of comfort and  support you rarely find. The Arch Fit system genuinely helps reduce the ache that comes with being on your feet for 10+ hours a day.

Sophie Brooks – Chef Tools Expert View Profile →

  • Pros: The out-of-the-box comfort and  Arch Fit support are outstanding.
  • Cons: Lacks a safety toe cap, so not ideal for all kitchen roles.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Grind', a bustling speciality coffee shop in Leeds, needed to upgrade their footwear. Standard trainers weren't cutting it, with staff regularly complaining of sore feet and  a few near-misses on floors damp from steamed milk and  spilt drinks.

"We switched the whole team over to the Skechers Axtell trainers. The feedback has been brilliant. They're comfy from the first wear, the grip is fantastic, and  they still look smart after a month of hard use. It's a small change that's made a big difference to morale."

Michael Davies – Owner, The Northern Grind

The switch resulted in a noticeable drop in end-of-day fatigue and  staff reported feeling more secure and  agile during the hectic morning rush.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Setting It Up

  • Wear them around the house for a few hours before your first full shift to let them mould to your feet.
  • Use the lace-up system to get a secure fit – not too tight, but snug enough that your heel doesn't slip.
  • If you use custom orthotics, the Arch Fit insole can be easily removed to accommodate them.

Keeping It Going

  • Wipe down any spills or dirt with a damp cloth as soon as you can; the Scotchgard® coating makes this easy.
  • Avoid putting them in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can damage the sole and  adhesives.
  • Let them air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators or ovens.
  • Check the treads periodically for any embedded debris that could reduce their slip resistance.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Work Footwear

Not sure which work shoe is the perfect fit for your job? Here are a few things to keep in mind to make the right choice.

Check the Slip Rating

Look for an 'SRC' rating. This is the highest level of slip resistance, tested on both ceramic tiles with soapy water and  steel floors with glycerol – covering almost any slippery situation you'll face.

Prioritise All-Day Comfort

You're on your feet for hours. Features like cushioned insoles (like Arch Fit), padded collars, and  a lightweight design will make a huge difference to your overall well-being.

Consider Your Environment

Do you work with liquids? A water and  stain-repellent upper, like one treated with Scotchgard®, will keep your shoes looking professional and  lasting longer.

Assess Your Safety Needs

Determine if you need a soft-toe shoe for comfort and  grip, or a hard-toe (steel or composite) shoe for protection against falling objects. This trainer is a soft-toe model.

Get the Fit Right

Poorly fitting shoes can cause blisters and  pain. A lace-up design allows for better adjustment than a slip-on, ensuring a secure and  comfortable fit throughout the day.

Think About Maintenance

Choose materials that are easy to wipe clean. Smooth, treated uppers are much lower maintenance than fabric or suede, which is crucial in a food environment.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these trainers fully waterproof?

A: They are water and  stain repellent thanks to the Scotchgard® treatment on the upper, but they are not fully waterproof like a wellington boot. They will protect against splashes and  light spills.

Q: What does the SRC slip-resistant rating mean?

A: SRC is the highest standard for slip resistance in safety footwear. It means the sole has been successfully tested on both soapy ceramic tile and  oily steel surfaces, offering the best possible grip.

Q: Can I remove the Arch Fit insole?

A: Yes, the Skechers Arch Fit insole is designed to be removable, so you can replace it with your own custom orthotic if needed.

Q: Do these trainers have a steel toe cap?

A: No, the Skechers Axtell is a soft-toe work shoe. It focuses on slip resistance and  all-day comfort rather than impact protection.

Q: How should I clean them?

A: Simply wipe them with a clean, damp cloth. The Scotchgard® finish helps prevent stains from setting in. Avoid machine washing.

Q: What UK size is the EU 43?

A: This model is a UK Size 9, which corresponds to an EU Size 43.

Q: Are these suitable for someone with foot problems like plantar fasciitis?

A: The podiatrist-certified Arch Fit insole is specifically designed to provide excellent support and  may help alleviate discomfort, but we always recommend consulting a medical professional for specific conditions.

Q: Are they heavy to wear?

A: No, they are designed to be lightweight and  feel much more like a standard trainer than a traditional, clunky work shoe, reducing fatigue over a long shift.

How the Arch Fit Insole Fights Foot Fatigue

Ever wondered what 'podiatrist-certified support' actually means for you? Think of the Skechers Arch Fit insole as a personalised suspension system for your feet. It was developed with over 20 years of data and  120,000 unweighted foot scans. Unlike a flat insole, it's shaped to spread pressure across your entire arch, providing stability and  support where you need it most.

It's a bit like having perfectly moulded shock absorbers in your shoes. Instead of your heel and  the ball of your foot taking all the impact with every step, the Arch Fit system distributes that force evenly. This reduces strain not just on your feet, but on your ankles, knees, and  back too, which is why you feel so much less wiped out after a long day.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Chefs & Kitchen Porters: Stay safe and  comfortable on slippery floors during long, high-pressure services in commercial kitchens.
  • Bar & Waiting Staff: Move quickly and  confidently between the bar, floor, and  kitchen without worrying about spills.
  • Healthcare & Care Workers: Ideal for professionals on their feet all day in clinics and  care homes needing comfort and  support.
  • Event & Contract Caterers: Perfect for teams working on varied sites, providing reliable comfort and  safety on any surface.
