Although years have passed since I bought these shoes, I owe a review! After trying other shoes for work in hotels, which were of good quality but didn't hold up well, I ended up with these specific ones and I didn't regret buying them twice! The construction is ideal for this type of use (it's also good to buy insoles along the way). The shoe is lightweight for its kind, it doesn't let water in, and even in areas with plenty of water in the kitchen, they don't slip (they have to be very worn for that to happen)! They lasted about 1.5 seasons each (they never fell apart or anything, they just weren't suitable anymore, with visible wear on the leather and loss of their non-slip ability). They are definitely worth the money and more!
