Product Description
The Shoes for Crews Karina is a slip-on trainer designed specifically for hospitality and catering environments where staff are on their feet throughout a full shift. Built from microfibre, the upper is lightweight at 230g, easy to wipe down, and holds its shape well under daily use — practical qualities that matter when footwear is being worn for eight or more hours at a stretch.
Where this shoe earns its place in a catering setting is underfoot. The anti-slip sole is engineered to perform on the wet, greasy, and debris-covered surfaces that are a routine feature of commercial kitchens, bar areas, and front-of-house spaces. Slip-related injuries remain one of the most common workplace incidents in catering, and footwear that addresses this directly has a clear operational value beyond comfort alone.
- Slip-on construction for quick on and off at shift changes
- Anti-slip sole suited to wet, greasy, and food-contaminated floors
- Microfibre upper wipes clean easily and resists daily wear
- Lightweight build reduces fatigue during long service periods
- Trainer profile suits front-of-house and back-of-house environments
One honest consideration: this is a trainer-profile shoe rather than a reinforced safety boot. It is well suited to kitchen and front-of-house roles where slip resistance and comfort are the priority, but operators in heavy-duty environments with falling-object risks should assess whether a more protective specification is appropriate for their team.
If you are kitting out a team and want to confirm the right specification for your environment, we are happy to help you work through the options.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Yes, the Karina is designed with catering and hospitality use in mind. The anti-slip sole performs well on the wet and greasy floor surfaces common in commercial kitchens, and the microfibre upper is straightforward to keep clean. They are a trainer-profile shoe rather than a heavy-duty safety boot, so they are best suited to roles where slip resistance and comfort are the primary requirements rather than toe or ankle protection.
- This listing is for a European size 42, which corresponds to a UK size 8. If you are ordering footwear for a team, it is worth checking individual sizing carefully before placing a bulk order, as fit can vary slightly between styles. Shoes for Crews publish a sizing guide that is worth consulting if staff are between sizes.
- The microfibre upper wipes down well with a damp cloth, making end-of-shift cleaning straightforward. For heavier soiling, a mild detergent solution applied with a cloth is generally sufficient. Avoid submerging the shoes or using abrasive cleaners, which can degrade the upper material over time.
