Long days (and nights) in the restaurant world mean wearing a path through
the dining room and back to the kitchen — shoes need to cushion the feet for
all those miles on foot, be slip-resistant on multiple surfaces from tile to carpet
to wood, and look good no matter the uniform. These all-black-everything
styles fit the bill. n Clockwise from top left: The Workshift from Fila ($60)
offers slip-resistant style with a memory foam footbed; The $129.95
Baseq from TRAQ by Alegria has a breathable upper and flexible construction
with removable footbeds, and has an embedded Traq Q-chip that tracks your
steps via Bluetooth; Skechers' Elite SR Rytas ($85) brings an oversized midsole
with plenty of cushioning to bear for the most demanding shiftwork.
