Emeril Lagasse Women's Quarter Food Service Shoe

My wife loves these shoes. We seen Mr. Lagasse at his restaurant in July at Destin Beach, he told us about his shoes and when we returned home my wife figured she would try them. @20$ cheaper than the name brand Nike or Fils they are amazingly comfortable to wear for 10hr shifts. 6 days a week. The have a very sleek look to them soild black easy to clean, water and soil resistant, slip resistant they are perfect for restaurant work or other types that require these shoes.There not really made of fabric like all the other brands. Its seems more of a really smooth leather which makes it so easy to wipe off and clean. They have a very soft memory foam cushion inside for the soles of your feet. So far so good wife says. They are well worth the money especially being cheaper then the others. Very nice, professional looking shoe, that's easy to wipe clean you cant beat it.I'm very glad we was lucky enough to meet Mr. Lagrasse and bringing up his shoes. This was the best find of the year with work related items in Amazon. 10 stars is I was able to rate as always I will update when changes start to happen in the shoe rather it be outside or inside I always want to compare longevity vs cost to other brands.I have not been paid for ANY review I've ever left. (I wish I did though) This is, as always, just my opinion through my eyes to help others.If you find this review helpful, please vote, so Amazonian browsers can better learn, research and understand how products work for them.!. Thank you and Happy Buying

This is my 2nd pair of this particular shoe.The first pair just wore out after nearly 3 years of use—6 days a week, 10 hour days.The fit is great. Comfort level is great. The durability surpasses any other pair of work shoes I’ve ever had. Price is spot on. I will buy them again in a couple of years!

So comfortable, last a good while, water resistant, I never slip and have worn these as a lunch lady and a custodian. As long as they make these I will repurchase!

I've had these for about 4 months and they work great! I work in a kitchen at a state facility and there is always water or other substances on the floor and I don't have to worry about slipping ever. Numerous times my shoes have been soaking wet but my feet stay completely dry which is a huge deal to me. I did have to put extra inserts in them for my plantar fasciitis but before that, they were already really comfortable. No need to really break them in. My only fault with them is that after about 3 months some of the rubber sole started to peel off from the shoe but I just used E6000 glue and that did the trick. All in all, great shoe!

It seems like instead of making the shoe wider maybe they just did longer laces? The sole is really comfortable so that’s nice, but as someone who needs an actual wide these are just too narrow for comfort. Wouldn’t buy again.

I work in a busy barbecue restaurant 40 to 50 hours a week, when I ordered the shoes I was looking for something that would last a little longer than two months considering the wear and tear I put into shoes. When they arrived they were the nicest looking work shoes that I’ve seen thus yet, the material is great and they are extremely comfortable. The grease resistant and the water resistant is true, as well as the slip resistant. I find these to be very comfortable work shoes. However I purchased these on February 7 and now on April 29 my shoe is already letting go at the sole in the front. I’m just a little disappointing because they are so comfortable and do so well with the other stuff. But back to my search for a more durable shoe.6/26/21 Update; while the shoe did separate in the front, it’s still the most comfortable shoe ever. Like I may purchase another just bc you can’t replace the comfort.

I have worn these shoes 6 times,9 hours a day on my feet.Assuming they don't self destruct in the next few months,I will say these are the most comfortable work shoes I've had in 20 years!I wore them right out of the box and was amazed there was no real breaking in period-no stiffness,no squeezing,no rubbing on the top of the foot.I normally wear 71/2 wide but got the 8 wide based on reviews,they are perfect with the slightly thicker socks I wear to work.The memory foam feels good but I will probably get gel inserts,I always get those so no big deal.The shoes are very sturdy without being heavy.The collar is padded with softer material than most work shoes have so no bruising the top of my feet.Some reviews have said these shoes are not slip resistant.Ive been wearing shoes with these soles for over 20 years and will say yes they are .Slip resistant shoes are meant to channel small amounts of liquid to minimize slipping,which is what they do.They will lose their effectiveness if a lot of solid material gets packed into the treads-like food,or snow.They are not effective on ice either.These shoes have had bits of different raw meat,flour and sauces on them,they have pretty much brushed clean when the debris has dried.I think these shoes look pretty good,just a clean simple look.I am wearing them a few more weeks to make sure they are holding together and still comfortable,and if so will order 2 more pairs for back up.I would encourage anyone on their feet all day to consider these shoes,assuming they are appropriate for the floor you're working on.I work in the meat department of a busy sopermarket and am walking/ standing 9 hours a day on textured tile and cement.At least my feet aren't sore at the end of the day!

Love the memory foam sole - it’s so comfortable and I’m using it for nursing school. I’ve tried a few shoes and this is the best one to stand and walk around in! Also easy to clean and stays white
