10 Reasons Your Next Kitchen Shoe Shouldn't Be a Clog

Built for Twelve Hours on Kitchen Tile

Almost any shoe feels good in the morning. What counts is the second half of the shift.

The NEXUS™ LOW still springs back after many hours. It supports your arch when your muscles get tired. And when your foot swells, you can simply adjust the shoe. Plus tested S3 protection at 24 oz.

The next points explain why each of these makes a difference.

Your Shoe Needs 24 Hours. It Never Gets Them.

After a shift, the foam in your sole is compressed and the shoe is damp. Both need about a day to recover.

But it never gets that day, because you put it back on the next morning. That's why a lot of chefs rotate between two pairs. Not because they need two, but because both last longer that way.

That's why you get the second pair free with us.

Wide at the Front, Not Pointy

Most shoes taper to a point at the front. Your toes get squeezed together even though the length is right. After a few hours, you feel it in your pinky toes.

The NEXUS™ LOW has a wide cut at the front, so your toes lie side by side instead of on top of each other. The protective cap sits over your toes and ends in front of the ball of your foot, right where your foot is widest.

The Sole Still Springs Back When Others Have Long Gone Flat

The NEXUS™ LOW has three layers stacked on top of each other. On top, the insole made of NASA-grade memory foam. Below it, a layer of Kevlar that no nail can get through. At the bottom, the CloudSole™ with its air chambers. They absorb part of the pressure with every step.

Every step compresses them. Then they spring back. Cheap foam eventually can't keep doing that and stays flat. Then the shoe barely cushions anymore. You feel the hard floor with every step. Especially toward the end of your shift.

Built In, Instead of a $50 Add-On

Most people solve the problem with a $40 or $50 insole. That helps, but it sits in a shoe whose sole has already worn down. Then the arch is supported, but the impact still comes through.

In the NEXUS™ LOW, the footbed is already built in, contoured and sitting right on top of the cushioning. It supports your arch even when your muscles get tired. So the band under your foot doesn't have to carry everything alone.

Slip-Resistant on Wet, Greasy Tile

You've had shoes before that said “slip-resistant.” And you know how that goes on freshly mopped tile with grease on it.

The NEXUS™ LOW's tread channels liquid out to the side so the sole stays in contact with the floor. Tested to SRC, meaning on ceramic tile with cleaning solution and on steel with glycerin.

Adjust Without Sitting Down

With laces, you're sitting on a crate retying them while the tickets keep coming in. You don't have time for that.

With the NEXUS™ LOW, you turn the dial, the shoe fits again, and you keep going. It takes two seconds.

No Soaked Socks After Twelve Hours

It's hot in the kitchen. On the line you're standing in front of open flames, at the dish station you're in the steam. Your feet sweat, and in a shoe that doesn't breathe, the moisture stays trapped.

The NEXUS™ LOW lets air reach your feet, so sweat can dry more easily. The BASE™ socks also wick it away from your foot.

Test It for 30 Shifts, Not 30 Minutes in a Store

What feels comfortable in the store tells you nothing about hour ten. Wear the NEXUS™ LOW to work for 30 days. On grease, on water, twelve hours straight.

If your feet still hurt at night, you get every cent back.
