Product Description
The Shoes for Crews Karina is a slip-on trainer designed specifically for staff working in environments where wet floors, spills, and food debris are a daily reality. Built from microfibre uppers, the Karina is notably lightweight at 230g, which makes a practical difference when staff are on their feet for long shifts.
In busy kitchen and front-of-house settings, footwear takes considerable punishment. The Karina's anti-slip sole is the core functional feature here — it is engineered to grip on the kinds of contaminated floor surfaces that are common in commercial kitchens, pass-throughs, and bar areas. The microfibre construction also makes the uppers straightforward to wipe down at the end of a shift, which matters in environments where hygiene standards are closely observed.
Practical advantages for operators and their teams include:
- Slip-on design that speeds up changes between shifts
- Lightweight build that reduces fatigue during long service periods
- Microfibre upper that cleans quickly and resists moisture absorption
- Anti-slip sole suited to wet, greasy, or food-contaminated floor surfaces
- Durable construction that holds up to daily commercial use
As a slip-on style without laces, the Karina suits roles where staff are frequently moving between areas or need to put footwear on and off quickly. It is well suited to kitchen porters, waiting staff, baristas, and bar teams. For roles requiring a more structured safety toe or additional ankle support, it is worth considering whether a more protective option from the range would be more appropriate.
If you are equipping a team and want to talk through sizing, volume requirements, or which styles suit specific roles in your operation, the team is happy to help.

Frequently Asked Questions
- The Karina is well suited to roles in catering environments where the primary hazard is slip risk from wet or contaminated floors. However, it does not feature a protective toecap, so for roles where staff regularly handle heavy equipment or work in areas with a significant impact risk, a safety-toe rated option would be more appropriate.
- The microfibre upper can be wiped down with a damp cloth or mild cleaning solution at the end of a shift, making it practical to maintain in food service environments. Avoid submerging the shoe or using harsh chemical solvents, as this can affect the material over time.
- EU size 39 corresponds to a standard UK size 6, and Shoes for Crews sizing is generally consistent across their range. That said, individual foot shape and width can affect fit, particularly in a slip-on style with no lace adjustment — if you are equipping a team, it is worth confirming sizing before placing a larger order.
