Several kitchen professionals have been looking for good footwear and chef apparel, designed by these footwear designers, that will be able to stand up from all the extreme activities in kitchen and the greays environment, but still provide a classy and professional look. Strangely enough one of the few companies that has got the balance right is Birkenstock, a 235-year-old German brand that is best known for its orthopaedic thongs and slides.
Birkenstock shoes are well known for their orthopedic support and these chef shoes are no different. The foot - bed follows the idea of giving foot support where it is needed in maximizing healing and comfort that the foot and the toes need to relieve them from pain.
As with all shoes that have arch support it is important to make sure you get the correct fit the first time you purchase.
The chef shoes that is manufactured only by Birkenstock, which is commonly known as Profi Birki, is made out of a very durable polyurethane rubber and a four - millimeter grip. In spite of this, the shoe's innersole features the same arch support as the sandals meaning that chefs get the benefits of an orthopedic shoe in a design that works for the kitchen. These kinds of shoes are also great for medical professionals,such as surgeons, nurses, masseurs and others who are on their feet all day long.
For chefs, who are all on a days work, which could usually take up to 16 hours on their shoes, foot perspiration can be unavoidable and this may also mean that people on this same work field and people in the hospitality industry are much prone to fungal infections. A working foot would also need to breathe and this is what makes the great design of the shoes unique. The Profi Birki is so good for chefs because this kind of shoes allows the free and proper circulation of air around the skin of the foot, while still giving a strong snug on the foot.
To further ensure that chefs' feet have a hygienic environment for the life of the shoes, Profi Birkis can be regularly washed in temperatures up to 60 degrees Celsius. The replaceable innersoles can be taken out of the shoe and should be allowed to air at the end of every shift.
