Shoes for Crews Karina Slip-On Trainers Black Size 35

The Shoes for Crews Karina is a slip-on trainer designed for front-of-house and back-of-house staff working in hospitality and catering environments. Built from microfibre uppers, the shoe combines a lightweight construction with a slip-resistant outsole intended to perform on the wet, greasy, and food-contaminated floor surfaces common in commercial kitchens, bars, and service areas.

In day-to-day kitchen use, the anti-slip sole is the defining functional feature. Shoes for Crews soles are specifically engineered to grip on wet tile and sealed concrete — surfaces where standard trainers offer little protection. The lightweight microfibre upper also makes cleaning straightforward, which matters in environments where footwear is exposed to spills and food debris throughout a shift.

• Slip-on construction for fast on and off between shifts
• Anti-slip outsole suited to wet kitchen and front-of-house floors
• Microfibre upper wipes clean easily after service
• Lightweight build reduces foot fatigue over long shifts
• Smart enough for front-of-house use without sacrificing grip

It is worth noting that this is a slip-on trainer rather than a safety boot, so it does not carry steel toe-cap or mid-sole puncture protection. It is well suited to environments where the primary risk is slipping rather than heavy falling objects or sharp underfoot hazards. For kitchen roles involving heavier equipment handling, a rated safety boot may be more appropriate.

The Karina is a good fit for waiting and bar staff, light kitchen roles, and catering assistants who spend long periods on their feet and need reliable grip without the bulk of a full safety boot. If your team works in higher-risk environments, we stock alternative styles with additional protective ratings.

If you are unsure which footwear specification is appropriate for a particular role or kitchen environment, the team is happy to help you work through it.
