Is the kitchen where you thrive, both at home but especially at work, spending countless hours making and serving up delicious meals? While you likely got your cooking skills and kitchen utensils in full order, to keep you at the top of your chef game all day, every day, you need to select all your equipment with care, including your shoes. The best shoes for chefs are those that allow you to stay on your feet for long periods of time and withstand whatever the kitchen may throw at them.
Have your long cooking sessions been negatively impacted by the improper choice of footwear? Then stick right here with us for useful tips and inspiration. In this guide to shoes for chefs, we walk you through key considerations and features that can make your search for the best kitchen shoes for chefs a little more straightforward.
As with anybody who works in a kitchen, a long day’s work full of pans being thrown around, pots being stirred, and countless dishes being prepared will often put you and your shoes to the test. Because of your great passion for creating good food, you might not notice the pain from the sore feet until you hang up the apron for the day.
When looking for the best kitchen shoes for chefs, comfort always comes first. Free your feet from unnecessary burden throughout a long day in the kitchen with a pair of shoes for chefs that include features, such as:
Support and cushioning - As a chef, you are probably constantly on your feet. Therefore, having shoes with proper cushioning and support is essential for enjoying lasting comfort. Cushioning helps maintain a soft feel with energy-absorbent padding to reduce your feet's impact on the ground.
Stability - Moving about on the kitchen floor sometimes results in you facing various hazards on the floor, such as spills or a freshly mopped kitchen floor. For that reason, shoes with solid and rugged rubber soles help you maintain a solid grip and confident stability.
To find the best shoes for chefs for you, you need to consider whether your kitchen has to follow a strict dress code? The little details can greatly impact your search for new kitchen shoes.
At ECCO®, we make comfortable shoes using high-quality materials, hidden comfort technologies, and dedicated craftsmanship. The result is state-of-the-art footwear that may also fit your needs as a chef. We have picked out a couple of our shoe collections that may catch your interest:
Designed for on-your-feet days and modern style, our ECCO STREET collections for men and women feature high-performance shoes in durable leather.

Our ECCO SOFT 7 for men and ECCO SOFT 7 for women offer straightforward Scandinavian style and essential comfort to suit most needs in the kitchen.

The busy kitchen environment can quickly result in dirty shoes full of stains. As such, it is always a smart idea to keep them well-protected against liquids and grime. We recommend you apply ECCO Repel Spray on your work shoes from time to time to get the best protection along with doing a quick clean, care, and protect routine.
