After six years working in kitchens, I've gone through a few different pairs of shoes. My first four years, I went through four pairs of shoes. And paying $60-80 for a pair of shoes every six months is ridiculous.

These shoes have lasted longer than any other (two years and no sign of any deterioration at all) and were cheaper than any other. They are comfortable, durable, and non-slip. Several coworkers have them as well and no complaints. Strongly recommended.
