Which are the best server shoes to wear in autumn? We've picked out the best work shoes for waiters and waitresses to help you find the right footwear before your next shift.
While autumn can be very beautiful when the leaves start to change colour, the weather can be very disappointing. Especially after you've been enjoying three months of summer, autumn is a sharp contrast.
You need work shoes that are reliable and will protect your feet from rain. Getting to the restaurant to start a eight-hour shift with wet feet is a recipe for a nightmare.
The best shoes for servers working in the autumn season are:
- Waterproof or water-resistant: for defence from rain
- Made from high quality materials: the higher quality the shoes are, the longer they will last
- Slip-resistant: this greatly reduces the chance of slipping or falling on wet leaves and floors and once you head indoors at work
