BirkenstockProfessional Unisex Profi Birki Slip

I am a cook and work long hours. I havebwide feet and high arches- these feel like a dream. Super supoortive. This is my second pair. The first I left behind in the last city I worked in. I had those for three years and after that amount of time working 50 hours or more a week, the tread which showed the most wear hadn't even been worn down flat. Still had great grip. The insoles are removable, so I can run the rest of the shoe through the dish machine at the end of the shift, so they're very sanitary. They're super tough. However if you're looking for something soft and squishy this isn't the shoe for you. Also if you walk long stretches at a time they can get uncomfortable. But for long stretches of standing and walking around the kitchen they're perfect. I don't wear them outside of the kitchen anyway. The insoles mold to fit your feet like normal birks as well. So happy to have another pair again. Like I said they're not cushioney, but somehow they're more comfortable for me than squishy shoes. Also the wider gap between treads maintains non-slip function even with food debris buildup. The kitchen shoes with narrow gaps between treads will get slippery if food crud gets caked inside. For me they also do not need 'breaking in'.

They are comfortable and fit as expected. I love these shoes.

Took a while to break them in, while working in the kitchen. But they're ok now. Wish I had got a 13 instead of a 14 but the reviews said they ran a little small and I was already feeling too big for a 13 in some shoes. No big deal though, im still happy with them.

I have worn this same brand for nearly 20 years in a kitchen. I highly recommend. Breaking in a solid rubber shoe sucks, but give it 2 weeks and they’re great. They typically run pretty big for their size. I normally wear 10.5-11 shoe size, but in the past I’ve Ordered 9’s and had them stretch to a perfect fit. I ordered 10’s this go around and they for fairly loose, as they should for a clog, but I guess the fit is something you just have to be used to. I suggest scuffing them up a bit on the bottom some of using for non slip purposes, because brand new they will still slip. Otherwise it’s such a great shoe, and are very comfortable (once broken in) and last for several years in my experiences. I’ve owned probably 8 pair in that 20 year span, and I don’t see myself ever switching to another shoe.

Perfect after allBought for my son. Cook at PF Chang’s. On feet a lot. Slippery floor. When first received he was sure too large but realized shortly that is how they are supposed to be. As long as foot imprint inside fits yours. He loves them. He is so thankful

Sizing is a hassle to get right. Arch support is minimal. The upper part of the shoe cracked on me within the first four months. When I reached out to Birkenstock to see about their warranty policies they told me they don’t have an Amazon store so they would not honor any warranty or return policy. When I reached out to Amazon about their defect I never received a response. So I spent a lot of money on an uncomfortable pair of work shoes that I barely wore and had to throw away.

I've worn Birkenstocks for years and I've been working in professional kitchens for over a decade. I kick myself (with my Birkis) for not switching to these way sooner than a couple years ago. I've owned New Balance nonslip professional shoes that fell to pieces in under a year (for $40 more no less). I've tried Klogs, which stank to high heaven and rubbed my heel raw. I've tried Danskos, which are ugly as sin and have an obnoxiously thick sole. These are perfect in almost every way. They have the trademark Birkenstock footbed with great support, are super easy to clean (I hose them off every night when we clean the floors), they never stink, and they are waaaaaaaaay more durable than any other brand. I'd average 9-12 months in most brands before they were unusable. These last 3+ years easy, and there are replacement insoles available, too. They're pretty roomy, which helps them breathe. Sometimes stuff gets kicked up into them, but whatever. The tread is pretty deep too, which can get filled with the detritus of a commercial kitchen floor (depending on how messy your coworkers are), and that can affect the nonslip of the sole, but all in all these are amazing shoes, and at least half the chefs and cooks I've worked with wear them exclusively. Highly recommended.

The shoes ripped less than 6 months after purchase. They were not tight and I only wore them to work. Don’t waste money on these just get the leather clog.
