This is the second pair of these that I've owned and they are perfect for waitstaff. They look sharp,  they're lightweight, hold a shine and the non slip sole really does hold unlike some other brands of shoe. I'm working fulltiume as a server and I wore out the first pair becasue I really beat the hell out of them but they lasted for almost a year. I'll by one more pair and rotate them so they last longer. Definately my go to work shoe
