I am not in food service but I learned about this from a colleague. Food service shoes are amazing for standing long hours, are slip-resistant and are liquid resistant. I bought the "Skechers Men's Cessnock Food Service Shoe". The inside has a tacky red insole but if you replace that with your preferred insoles, these shoes are amazing. These shoes are 'not' BIFL but they are comfortable as hecking heck.
