MOZO Women's Maven Food Service Shoe Review

I bought these for work (server) in summer; I wanted cute non-slip shoes that didn't weigh five pounds apiece. These fit the bill. They look and fit like low-top skate shoes, they're water resistant waxed cotton (even the laces), they breathe, and they don't slip on wet dish pit floors. They even come with a slick little tread comb; you can clean out the soles and not track floor food mud all over your carpets when you get home. They start out a little stiff, but will feel like slippers once you break them in.

The shoes it’s really good for work in cook, really no They slip, and soft in you feet’s!

I have been on the hunt for some stylish slip resistant shoes. I cannot wear clogs because they aggravate my plantar fasciitis and most other styles of slip resistant shoes are just plain ugly in my opinion. I really love the look of these shoes. Mozo makes some some very fashionable work shoes!I made sure to wear these around my house first to be sure they fit well and didn't aggravate my plantar fasciitis. My first impression was these shoes are STIFF/RIGID, making them less comfortable. The fit from toe to heel was perfect, but my foot felt crowded on the top. I was hoping that with some use they would soften up and make more room. After my first shift at work my feet were begging for them to come off. They had bruised the top of my foot. I tried them the next day, bringing a back up pair with me just in case. By the time I got to work I seriously considered wearing the back up pair but then remembered seeing that the insoles can be removed. I plucked those out and voila my foot actually fit top to bottom! No more bruising and they were much more comfortable. I also removed the laces because 1. They are ridiculously short, 2. They are not necessary as the tongue is attached to the shoe with elastic and 3. When I did tie them in the silly tiny bow they made, they dug further into the top of my feet. After my second day at work they were much more comfortable. Maybe once they soften up I can add the insoles back or buy separate, thinner insoles for more cushioning. As far as being nonslip, they work very well on the slippery kitchen floor I work on.*If* these soften up some I'll consider increasing the review to 4/5 stars. I hope they do!Edit: I have now worn these for about a year. They have held up super well. I ended up adding some Dr. Scholl’s gel inserts and they are super comfy while I wear them for my 8 hour busy work day. I have bumped my rating up to 4 stars from my previous 3 stars and I’m shopping for a new pair even though these have probably another year of use in them. I figured I can have my back up pair broken in by the time I need them.

These are great shoes. Well made. Very sturdy. I’m not sure how “slip resistant” they really are as I have walked around the kitchen at work and on the main dining room floor and when the floor has been wet they did slide a little bit not a significant amount to say that they are not slop resistant. I’m cautious anyways but still I do wish they had a tad more traction. As far as comfort level, I have yet to get any blisters or have any sore feet and I work doubles and am on my feet for 12 hours some days. I love the canvas material too. I do think they fit rather tight around the foot but there is room in the toe so I don’t mind. I just don’t tie them super tight. My feet are weird anyhow and it’s very hard for me to find the right pair of shoes and that goes for any style! Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I got these trough Prime Wardrobe which is such a great service I must say! It was such a relief knowing that if they didn’t fit for whatever reason I would be able to return them back at no extra cost. Out of the 20 pairs of shoes I tried on Amazon, these were by far thee best. Def recommend for service workers.

Loved these shoes they were extremely comfortable and very non-slip I loved them until about a month after wearing them at work only I felt a cold sensation on my foot looked down and noticed the left side of my shoe right wear it bends for the ball of your foot was coming unglued which really bummed me out because it wasn't small like almost 2 inches. Tgen i started to inspect both shoes and realized that both are doing it on both sides of the toe box. I loved these shoes but if they're glued together and only last a month why are they nearly $90? I've had cheap generic shoes last longer.

Best restaurant shoes I've ever owned. Worth the money. I've had these for a few months, & between two bartending jobs I am on my feet a Lot, sometimes over 12 hours a day. My feet are no longer sore like they used to be wearing $30-40 non slips. Not to mention they are cute- when I leave work I can just change out of my work shirt and feel perfectly comfortable rocking these with my skinny jeans for a casual look. They are also super water/ liquid proof and of thick quality material. So far they are holding up lovely.. very glad I made this purchase!

The shoe on the left is the pair I have worn in one of the craziest restaurants in the country for 1 1/2 years. I can’t say enough about this shoe! I have over 30 years in the restaurant industry and this is the best shoe I have ever worn! I’ve spent over $200 on a shoes that are not nearly as comfortable. Most shoes are too narrow at the toe, so by the end of the day, I feel like I’m walking on my pinkie toe. This shoe has plenty of room. The heel is narrow enough that my skinny ankles don’t slip out of the shoe. I’ve had to replace the shoe strings and put in insoles but that’s no big deal. My feet do not hurt at the end of the night!! Yay!!

+Star for being so non slip you couldn't if you tried. +Star for being cute. +Star for durability and design. Loses a star because they kill your feet in less than an hour. (I dont have foot problems) and have Zero arch support. I feel like they never 'broke in'. Lost a star because I do have arches/ tall feet and I had to ultimately cut the super tight elastic on the sides of the tongue. Would likely buy again in a whole size larger to accommodate insoles, and if the manufacturer's uses a more flexible/forgiving elastic. Purchased ~1yr ago size 8.
