"Spending hours standing and walking on a hard floor takes a toll on your feet, legs, and lower back, no matter what (just ask any healthcare or food service professional), but investing in a pair of supportive kitchen shoes is the best thing you can do to combat the aches and pains that come with cooking. Those shoes are also your first line of defense against any hot oil splatters, sauce spills, or knife drops (I'm assuming you'd prefer to keep all ten toes, right?)"
"Asking a pro chef about their favorite pair of kitchen shoes is like asking about their favorite knife: everyone has a different, highly personal answer that's dependent on the type of kitchen they work in, their role in that kitchen, and importantly, their particular feet. After polling our staff, we found the same to be true for both our Test Kitchen editors and those of us who simply identify as voracious home cooks."
Long periods of standing and walking on hard kitchen floors cause strain to feet, legs, and lower back. Supportive kitchen shoes with cushioning, reliable arch support, and slip-resistant soles help reduce fatigue and prevent injuries from spills, hot oil, and dropped knives. Foot type, arch height, and daily standing duration determine the best shoe choice for each person. Testing of more than a dozen popular pairs identified options suited to long shifts, weekend home cooking, and varying foot anatomies. Staff recommendations include longstanding favorites and new discoveries evaluated for comfort, protection, durability, and fit.
