Expert Review and Insights
Skechers have successfully bridged the gap between everyday comfort and professional necessity here. These aren't just comfy trainers with a 'work' label; they are a purpose-built tool for the job. The grip on slick floors is genuinely impressive, and the hands-free slip-in feature is a small but significant quality-of-life improvement for any busy professional.

- Out-of-the-Box Comfort: No breaking-in period needed; they feel fantastic from the first wear.
- Not for Heavy Spills: The mesh upper offers great breathability but isn't waterproof.
Case Study: Real Business, Real Results
The Grand Pier Café in Weston-super-Mare needed to upgrade their team's footwear. Their staff were experiencing foot fatigue during long summer shifts, and the management wanted to proactively improve safety on floors that were often wet from seaside visitors.
"We switched the entire team over to these Skechers work shoes. The feedback was instant and overwhelmingly positive. Our team feels more energetic, and I have greater peace of mind knowing they have proper, certified non-slip soles under their feet."
Robert Davies – Operations Manager
Following the rollout, the café noted a significant reduction in staff complaints about sore feet and a 100% elimination of minor slips in the main service area.
Installation and Maintenance Guide
Setting It Up
- Wear your typical work socks when trying them on to ensure the perfect fit.
- While they're comfortable immediately, walk around in them for an hour or so before committing to a full shift.
- Get to know their grip; while fantastic, always be cautious on surfaces with significant grease or oil build-up.
Keeping It Going
- At the end of each shift, wipe them down with a damp cloth to remove any food or dirt.
- Allow the shoes to air out naturally overnight; avoid placing them on radiators or in tumble dryers.
- Regularly check the sole's tread for excessive wear to ensure slip-resistance isn't compromised.
- For a deep clean, you can machine wash them on a gentle, cool cycle and let them air dry completely.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these Skechers Summit work shoes for restaurants waterproof?
A: The breathable mesh upper is not waterproof. They are designed for indoor use and will dry quickly if splashed, but are not suited for submersion.
Q: How effective is the slip-resistant sole?
A: It is certified to EN ISO 20347:2022 standards, meaning it provides excellent grip on surfaces like wet and soapy tiled floors, which are common in commercial kitchens.
Q: Is this a unisex shoe?
A: Yes, this is a unisex design. Simply order based on your correct EU or UK shoe size.
Q: Can I use my own orthotic insoles?
A: Yes, the included Memory Foam insole is typically removable, which allows you to insert your own custom orthotics for a personalised fit.
Q: Are these classified as safety shoes with a steel toe?
A: No, these are 'soft toe' occupational shoes. They provide slip resistance but do not have a protective toe cap for impact resistance.
Q: What is the main benefit of the mesh material?
A: The mesh upper is highly breathable. It allows air to circulate freely, which helps to keep your feet cool and comfortable during long, hot shifts.
Q: How do I clean these shoes?
A: You can wipe them with a damp cloth for daily cleaning. For a more thorough clean, they are machine washable; use a gentle, cool cycle and let them air dry.
Q: How much does a pair weigh?
A: They are very light, with a pair weighing just under 1kg. This helps to reduce fatigue in your feet and legs over a long day.

Explore more from SkechersWhat Does EN ISO 20347:2022 Certification Actually Mean?
You'll see this code on professional footwear, but what is it? Think of it as an official MOT for your shoes, guaranteeing they're fit for purpose. This standard means these Skechers black slip on safety shoes have been rigorously and independently tested for occupational hazards. The most important test is for slip resistance, where the shoe is trialled on ceramic tiles with a soap solution to simulate a slippery kitchen or corridor. It ensures the sole's tread pattern and material provide a reliable grip when it matters most. So, it's not just a brand's promise of safety; it's a certified, independent seal of approval for a professional environment.

- Café & Barista Staff: The easy slip-on style is ideal for quick changes, while the sole ensures safety behind the counter.
- Healthcare & Clinic Workers: Provides essential comfort and certified safety for professionals spending long hours walking on hard, clinical flooring.
