[QUOTE=nashiitashii] Safety shoes are a must. [/QUOTE] Tell me about it! I always mocked people who wore [Crocs](http://www.amazon.com/Crocs-Cayman-Clog-Mens/dp/B000CKVJ1W/sr=1-1/qid=1169849519/ref=sr_1_1/104-3916365-4180742?ie=UTF8&s=apparel), but I am probably going to get a pair because my current kitchen shoes, although they have decent traction, still slip sometimes. They are also easy to clean at the end of the night…just run them through the dishwasher! (But wearing them in any situation other than to provide functionality in a slippery environment is still wrong and stupid, though.) ---

[QUOTE=nashiitashii] But **Bouv** , you can wear them to mow the lawn! [/QUOTE] …I can also wear my old sneakers to mow the lawn. The lawn is not a slippery surface, so there’s no need for dumb looking (but functional) shoes. 😛 [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/ask-the-guy-who-works-in-a-chain-restaurant/389042.md?page=2)
