Expert Review and  Insights

For years, kitchen staff had to choose between clunky but safe clogs or comfy but risky trainers. The Skechers Axtell bridges that gap beautifully. It delivers the comfort the brand is famous for, but with the non-negotiable SRC slip resistance and  spill protection that a professional environment demands. It's a genuine step up in workplace footwear.

  • Top-tier comfort: The Arch Fit support is a lifesaver on long, hard shifts.
  • No safety toe: Lacks a protective toe cap for heavy-duty kitchen environments.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Northern Canteen', a popular eatery in Leeds, were looking for a uniform footwear solution that could tackle both kitchen hazards and  front-of-house comfort. Their existing mix of shoes wasn't providing consistent safety or support for their staff during long, demanding days.

"We kitted out the entire crew with these Skechers Arch Fit work shoes. The feedback has been fantastic. Staff feel more secure on their feet, and  the complaints about sore backs and  feet at the end of the day have pretty much vanished. It was a brilliant move for team welfare."

Robert Finch – General Manager

The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in team morale and  a reduction in slips and  trips in the kitchen area.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

First Wear & Break-in

  • Wear the trainers with your usual work socks to ensure the fit is correct.
  • If they feel a little stiff, wear them for shorter periods for the first few days to break them in.
  • Lace them up firmly for support, but not so tight that they restrict circulation.
  • Take a moment to get a feel for the excellent grip on different surfaces.

Keeping Them in Top Condition

  • Wipe down with a damp cloth after use to remove food, dirt, and  grime.
  • Thanks to the Scotchgard® finish, most spills should come off easily.
  • Always allow the shoes to air dry naturally, away from direct heat like radiators or heaters.
  • Periodically check the sole's tread to ensure it's free from debris that could reduce its grip.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Commercial Footwear

Not sure which work shoes are right for your team? Here’s what to look for.

Check the Grip Rating

Always look for an 'SRC' rated sole. This is the highest level of slip resistance, tested on both soapy and  oily surfaces, giving you peace of mind in any environment.

Prioritise All-Day Comfort

Aches and  pains reduce productivity. Features like cushioned Arch Fit insoles, a padded collar, and  a lightweight build are crucial for keeping staff comfortable and  focused.

Assess the Protection Needed

Do you need a steel toe cap? For many roles, slip resistance is the key feature. If staff handle heavy items, a certified safety boot is a must. For general duties, a trainer like this is ideal.

Consider Cleanliness and  Appearance

In a professional setting, footwear needs to look smart. Materials that are easy to wipe clean and  finishes like Scotchgard® that repel stains are a huge bonus.

Get the Sizing Right

Ill-fitting shoes are a health hazard. Remember that feet can swell slightly during a long shift, so ensure there's enough room without being too loose. Check UK and  EU sizes carefully.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What does SRC slip resistant actually mean?

A: It's the highest European safety standard for grip. The sole has been successfully tested for slip resistance on both soapy ceramic tiles and  oily steel surfaces, making it ideal for unpredictable kitchen floors.

Q: Is the Arch Fit insole removable?

A: Yes, the Skechers Arch Fit insole can be taken out, allowing you to use your own custom orthotics if required.

Q: Are these trainers fully waterproof?

A: They are liquid and  stain repellent due to the Scotchgard® protective layer, which handles splashes and  spills well. However, they are not designed to be fully submerged in water.

Q: Do these Skechers non slip shoes have a steel toe cap?

A: No, this model is a 'soft toe' shoe. It is designed for maximum slip resistance and  comfort in environments where falling object protection is not a primary requirement.

Q: Are they suitable for front-of-house staff?

A: Absolutely. Their all-black, discreet design is smart and  professional, while the comfort features are perfect for staff who are constantly on the move.

Q: How should I clean them?

A: A simple wipe-down with a damp cloth is all that's needed for most daily grime. Avoid using harsh chemical cleaners or putting them in a washing machine.

Q: What's the main benefit of the Arch Fit system over a normal insole?

A: It's a podiatrist-certified support system developed from over 20 years of data. It provides targeted support to the arch, helping distribute weight more evenly and  reducing foot fatigue on long shifts.

Q: Are these trainers heavy to wear?

A: No, they are specifically designed to be lightweight to reduce fatigue. The pair weighs just over 1kg, making them feel agile and  easy to wear all day.

More Than Just a Comfy Insole: How the SRC-Rated Sole Keeps You Safe

You see 'SRC Slip Resistant' on a lot of work shoes, but what does it actually mean? Think of it as the gold standard for grip. To earn this rating, the shoe's sole is put through two tough, independent tests designed to mimic the worst-case scenarios in a workplace. The first test is on a ceramic tile surface wetted with a soapy solution, like a freshly mopped kitchen floor. The second is on a steel floor coated with glycerol, which is as slippery as an oily spill.

A shoe has to pass both of these demanding tests to be certified as SRC. It means the tread pattern, a bit like a high-performance car tyre, is specifically engineered to channel liquids away from the point of contact, ensuring the sole maintains maximum grip. It’s this proven, tested technology that gives you the confidence to move quickly and  safely, even when things get messy.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Restaurant & Pub Chefs: For staying agile and  secure on greasy kitchen floors during a busy service.
  • Café & Barista Teams: Offers all-day comfort for staff who are constantly on their feet making and  serving.
  • Healthcare & Care Home Staff: Provides reliable grip and  foot support for long shifts on hard clinical flooring.
  • Front of House & Hotel Staff: A smart, professional look combined with the comfort needed for walking miles every day.
