I second that with STICO! My school mainly sold STICO as mid range and as with many students, I also bought the STICO. It's very light, has very good grips, and easy to wash. The problem was the grooves wear out very quickly. It lasted me 2.5 years. Now I'm using Profi Birkie which I got for free, but I hate it. It's so heavy and while the length fit me, the height doesn't so it puts a strain towards my awkward toes positioning to keep the clogs on my feet.For a cheap very comfortable option: STICO clogs
Expensive long lasting option: Belleville hot weather gortex sided USMC boots, I get about 3 years from each pair.
My FOH manager used to wear the normal Tokyo and would come into the kitchen to grab stuff quite often. This was before we changed up the floor to nonslip material but boy was he like being in an ice skating rink with that! Didn't know they started making them with super grip! That's good to know.Yeah I like Mozos too, went through 4 pairs…unfortunately I got tired of buying a new pair every 10 months. For lace ups maybe the new balance have a better lifespan? I know lots of people that like them. Not sure how I feel about a running shoe aesthetic for the kitchen.
Been wearing the Birkenstock Tokyo super grips and I recommend them. The leather straps keep your feet in place unlike most clogs
Which SAS model do you like and what do you like about them? I do really like my Tokyo super grip but I wouldn’t mind a pair of lace ups that won’t fall apart in 6-8 monthsThis isn’t new but I am an sas guy. I tried literally every shoe in this thread plus some and sas is the current champ for me. Everyone’s feet are so different not to mention how you work and carry yourself. I used to like Mozo before they sold out. I also liked keen and honestly still like keen. I’ll still keep an eye for a new better option… oh and I got a new balance arishi I keep in my trunk but I hated them. The new balance breathable fabric is useless and they are way over priced for how cheaply they are made. I wish I could buy ultra boost with non slip bottom and leather upper. I also have non slip London and personally mostly prefer them when I’m not running around. Like standing on the line great. Cooking on two floors and running trash no thanks. But they hold up well and you can resole them.
Absolute game changer (atleast for me). Zero drop light weight wide toe box non slip.
Wore them to work tonight. Early impressions are really good.

Shoes for crews tier non slip. Check out the treads photo in the link.Wait wait wait wait, wait a minute here. Laces? As in you’ll need to tie/untie these every time? I feel like we’re going backwards here.
But in all seriousness, how non-slip are they actually?
I saw their chevron pattern non-slip in the link. But was just curious if they were successful at being non-slip. I’ve tried several other shoes that claimed non-slip, but lots of them were like being on ice when it came time to traverse the dish area.Shoes for crews tier non slip.

After over a week of use I’d say they are pretty non slip-not sure they’re as non slip as shoes for crews so I should probably amend that statement.I saw their chevron pattern non-slip in the link.

Half sizes in Redbacks are extra width, at least EEEMy Xero Prios are starting to die but overall I felt like they were worth it if you’re into zero drop wide toe box non slip slippers essentially.
https://xeroshoes.com/shop/shoes/prio-all-day-men/Not sure if I’m ready to buy another pair or if their is something else out there with a wide toe box (which is a must for me)
The Merrels do look nice and durable
UBOKWhich Redbacks do you own?
Decided to go with these Birchburys.

This Rose Avril video convinced me they were worth checking out. My only concern is whether or not they’re “non slip” enough.
