Having the right footwear in a professional kitchen is non-negotiable. The Skechers Cessnock SR hits that sweet spot between everyday comfort and  serious on-the-job performance.

A solid choice for any chef or kitchen team.

  • Best Feature: The out-of-the-box comfort is exceptional; no painful breaking-in period needed.
  • Consideration: The mesh fabric is great for breathability but offers less protection from hot spills.

Case Study: Real Business, Real Results

The team at 'The Potter's Wheel', a bustling pub and  carvery in Stoke-on-Trent, were looking to upgrade their staff's footwear. Their main goals were to reduce slips in the kitchen and  bar area and  find a more comfortable option to combat staff fatigue during long Sunday service.

"We kitted out the whole team with these Skechers. The feedback was instant. Staff love the comfort, and  I love the peace of mind. They look smart, and  more importantly, everyone feels safer on their feet. It was a brilliant investment in our team's wellbeing."

Robert Evans – General Manager

After the switch, the pub recorded a 100% reduction in slip-related incidents and  staff reported significantly less foot and  back pain after their shifts.

Installation and  Maintenance Guide

Getting Started

  • Check the fit is snug but not tight. Remember your feet can swell slightly during a long day.
  • Wear them around the house for an hour or two to ensure the Relaxed Fit® is right for you.
  • The stretch laces are designed for a slip-on fit, but you can adjust the knot if needed for security.
  • Before your first shift, walk on a clean, wet surface at home to get a feel for the excellent grip.

Keeping Them Going

  • Clean off any dirt or food spills with a damp cloth and  mild soap. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  • Do not put them in a washing machine or tumble dryer, as this can damage the foam and  adhesives.
  • Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators.
  • Regularly check the tread on the outsole for wear and  tear to ensure slip resistance isn't compromised.

Buying Guide: Choosing the Right Work Shoes

Not sure what to look for in a work shoe? Here’s a quick guide to help you make the right choice.

Prioritise Slip Resistance

This is the most critical safety feature. Look for certified slip-resistant soles designed for both wet and  oily surfaces, especially for kitchen or bar work.

Consider the Weight

A heavy shoe leads to tired legs. Lightweight materials, like the mesh on these Skechers, make a huge difference to your energy levels by the end of a shift.

Comfort is a Must, Not a Luxury

Features like memory foam insoles, shock-absorbing midsoles, and  a roomy fit prevent pain and  fatigue. A comfortable worker is a productive worker.

Material Matters

Breathable materials like Skech-Knit mesh are great for keeping feet cool and  dry. If you work with hot liquids, you might consider leather, but for general comfort, mesh is fantastic.

Get the Fit Right

Don't guess your size. A shoe that's too tight causes pain, and  one that's too loose is a trip hazard. The 'Relaxed Fit' design offers more room in the toe box, which is ideal for many.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Are these shoes waterproof?

A: They are not fully waterproof due to the breathable Skech-Knit mesh upper. They can handle minor splashes, but are not designed to be submerged in water.

Q: Do they have a steel toe cap?

A: No, the Skechers Cessnock SR is a soft-toe work shoe. It is designed for slip-resistance and  comfort, not for protection against impact or compression hazards.

Q: What does 'Relaxed Fit®' mean?

A: Relaxed Fit® is a Skechers design that provides a roomier feel in the toe and  forefoot area, while still fitting snugly in the heel. It's great for people who find standard-fit shoes a bit too narrow.

Q: Are the insoles removable?

A: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insole is lightly glued in place for stability, but can typically be carefully removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.

Q: How do I clean these trainers?

A: We recommend spot cleaning with a soft cloth, mild soap, and  warm water. They should be left to air dry. Do not machine wash.

Q: Is the sole non-marking?

A: Yes, the rubber traction outsole is designed to be non-marking on most common indoor floor surfaces.

Q: Are these suitable for both men and  women?

A: This specific model is listed in men's sizing. However, the style is versatile and  can be worn by anyone, provided the size conversion is correct.

Q: How effective is the oil resistance?

A: The sole is specifically tested and  rated for resistance to oil, making these Skechers men's kitchen trainers an excellent choice for professional cooking environments where greasy floors are common.

How Air-Cooled Memory Foam Keeps You Going

We've all heard of memory foam, but what does the 'Air-Cooled' bit actually do? Think of it like this: standard memory foam is like a cosy duvet, it's soft but it can trap heat. Skechers' Air-Cooled Memory Foam is more like a high-tech mattress with built-in ventilation. It has a special top layer designed to be breathable, allowing air to circulate around your foot. This means you get all the wonderful, pressure-relieving cushioning that moulds to your foot shape, but without the overheating that can make a long shift unbearable. It's the clever feature that takes comfort from just 'soft' to 'all-day comfortable'.

Who Should Buy This?

  • Chefs and  Kitchen Staff: To stay sure-footed and  comfortable on potentially greasy floors during hectic services.
  • Baristas and  Café Workers: For agile movement and  reliable grip when dealing with constant coffee and  milk spills.
  • Healthcare Professionals: Offering all-day comfort for long rounds and  a secure grip on smooth hospital floors.
  • Cleaning and  Janitorial Staff: Providing essential safety on freshly mopped, wet surfaces while remaining comfortable for hours.
