Slipbuster Basic Slip Resistant Kitchen Shoes Black

Delivery Information
Price Match
The Slipbuster Basic is a straightforward, practical kitchen shoe designed for catering and hospitality environments where staff are on their feet for long shifts and floor surfaces can be wet, greasy, or both. The microfibre upper keeps the shoe lightweight and reasonably durable under the day-to-day knocks of a working kitchen, while the slip-resistant sole provides the underfoot grip that matters most in commercial settings.
In a busy kitchen or front-of-house environment, the ability to move quickly and confidently on tiled or vinyl floors makes a real difference — particularly during peak service. The slip-resistant sole is designed to maintain traction on wet and oily surfaces, which are common in dishwash areas, prep sections, and around fryer stations. The antibacterial moisture-wicking lining helps manage foot temperature and hygiene during long services, and the perforated cushioned insole reduces fatigue over a full shift.
- Slip-resistant sole suited to wet and oily kitchen floors
- Microfibre upper for everyday durability in commercial use
- Antibacterial lining to support hygiene during long services
- Moisture-wicking and perforated insole to reduce foot fatigue
- Lightweight construction suited to both kitchen and front-of-house roles
These shoes are well suited to kitchen porters, chefs, front-of-house staff, and anyone working in a catering environment who needs reliable grip and reasonable comfort without a heavy safety-boot specification. They are not a steel-toecap safety shoe, so operators in environments with a higher risk of falling objects should consider whether a more protective option is appropriate for their team.
If you are outfitting a team or are unsure which footwear specification suits your site's risk assessment, feel free to get in touch — we are happy to help you work through the options.
Frequently asked questions
Are these shoes suitable as personal protective equipment (PPE) in a commercial kitchen?
The Slipbuster Basic provides slip resistance and comfort but does not include a steel toecap or midsole protection. For environments where your risk assessment identifies a significant risk from falling or rolling objects, a full safety shoe to EN ISO 20345 would be the more appropriate specification.
How do these shoes hold up to the cleaning chemicals used in commercial kitchens?
The microfibre upper is reasonably resistant to general moisture and light chemical contact typical of kitchen environments, but prolonged exposure to strong cleaning agents or continuous saturation will reduce the lifespan of any non-specialist footwear. Wiping down after each shift will help maintain condition.
Are these suitable for front-of-house staff as well as kitchen teams?
Yes — the lightweight construction and plain black finish make them practical for both back-of-house and front-of-house roles. They are commonly used by waiting staff and bar teams who need grip on tiled or polished floors without the heavier build of a dedicated kitchen safety shoe.
