Expert Review and Insights
Skechers have successfully brought their renowned comfort technology into the professional sphere with the Cessnock SR. It’s a brilliant crossover, feeling more like a high-end trainer than a clunky work shoe. The immediate, out-of-the-box comfort from the memory foam is its standout feature, making it a top contender for anyone enduring 10+ hour shifts on their feet.

- Incredible Comfort: The memory foam and relaxed fit genuinely reduce end-of-day foot ache.
- No Toe Protection: Lacks a steel toe cap for protection against falling items.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The team at 'The Potter's Wheel', a bustling cafe and pottery studio in Stoke-on-Trent, were struggling with staff fatigue and a couple of near-miss slips on wet clay-dusted floors. They needed footwear that could handle both wet surfaces and the demands of being on your feet all day.
"We switched the whole front-of-house team to the Skechers Cessnock trainers. The feedback was instant. Staff felt more secure on the floor, and the complaints about sore feet at the end of a Saturday shift have completely vanished. They look professional, and the team actually enjoys wearing them."
David Chen – Owner
The switch resulted in a noticeable improvement in staff morale and eliminated slips in the cafe area within the first month of use.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Getting Started
- Wear them around the house for a few hours first to let the memory foam mould perfectly to your feet.
- The stretch laces are designed for a snug fit, but you can adjust the knot if you need a little more or less room.
- Always wear with socks designed for work or sports to maximise breathability and prevent rubbing.
Keeping Them in Top Shape
- Wipe down with a damp cloth to remove surface dirt after each shift.
- For tougher stains on the mesh, use a soft brush with a mild soap and water solution.
- Allow the shoes to air dry naturally away from direct heat sources like radiators to protect the materials.
- Check the sole tread regularly for embedded grit or debris that could reduce its effectiveness.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these Skechers mens work trainers fully waterproof?
A: The Skech-Knit upper is breathable and not fully waterproof. It will resist light splashes but is not designed for submersion in water.
Q: Do these shoes have a steel toe cap?
A: No, these are soft-toe trainers. They are designed for slip-resistance and comfort, not impact protection. They are not classed as Skechers Cessnock safety shoes in that regard.
Q: How should I clean them?
A: We recommend hand washing with a soft cloth, mild soap, and cold water. Allow them to air dry thoroughly before wearing again.
Q: What does the 'Relaxed Fit' feature mean?
A: Relaxed Fit® provides a roomier feel in the toe and forefoot area, which is great for people with slightly wider feet or for accommodating natural foot swelling during a long day.
Q: Are the memory foam insoles removable?
A: The Air-Cooled Memory Foam insoles are lightly secured in place but can be carefully removed if you need to insert custom orthotics.
Q: Is the UK sizing accurate?
A: Yes, Skechers generally run true to size. We recommend ordering your usual UK shoe size.
Q: Are these suitable for people who stand all day?
A: Absolutely. The combination of the memory foam insole, shock-absorbing midsole, and lightweight design makes them ideal for jobs that require prolonged standing.
Q: Can I use these as regular trainers for the gym or walking?
A: Yes, they are comfortable and stylish enough for everyday wear, but they are specifically engineered with a work-grade slip-resistant sole for professional environments.

Explore more from SkechersHow A Slip-Resistant Sole Really Works
Ever wondered what makes a sole 'slip-resistant'? It’s not just about using sticky rubber. The magic is in the tread pattern. Think of it like the difference between a regular car tyre and a winter tyre designed for icy roads. The sole on the Skechers Cessnock SR slip resistant trainers has specially designed channels and grooves. When you step on a wet or oily surface, these channels quickly push the liquid away from the point of contact between your shoe and the floor. This allows the maximum amount of the sole's surface area to make direct, solid contact with the ground, giving you that secure, stable grip you need to walk with confidence.

Chefs and Kitchen Porters
