The question is, why not? Are you looking for comfortable black work shoes that will fit into any workplace? At Shoes For Crews we offer a wide range of footwear designed to meet your needs, and not just regarding appearance, our top priority is to keep workers safe and comfortable.
Why choose black shoes?
The colour black has always been particularly popular in the fashion industry, and, as you might imagine, it is just as sought after in the footwear sector: it’s not hard to find black boots, black brogues, black sandals, and of course, black work shoes.
Comfy black shoes for work that suit any dress code
Typically, black is a marker of elegance, and the go-to colour for some of the most famous clothing designers, but that’s not all, black is also a great choice for any establishment’s dress code; it’s discreet, it will match most uniforms, and it will add a touch of professionalism and class to the staff.
- Dress shoes: elegant but comfortable black shoes for work such as brogues, Derby-style and Oxfords for men, as well as flats for women. These styles include exclusives features such as slip-resistant outsoles, removable insoles and/or TripGuard technology to reduce slips and falls.
- Casual footwear: staff who don’t need to adhere to a particularly strict dress code, such as shop assistants, can wear styles with a more modern and youthful look.
However, the great variety of styles available in black is not the only advantage, read on to discover more about comfy black shoes for work.
Black shoes are easier to clean and to keep clean
Another more understated advantage of black shoes is that they are easy to clean and keep clean.
- Cleaning black leather shoes can be done in under five minutes.
- Many of our designs are water resistant or waterproof.
- Shoes in different, lighter materials, like our comfy black shoes for work manufactured using mesh or synthetic uppers, are also easy to wash.
Comfortable black shoes are key to prevent health issues
Choosing the right pair of shoes is not just about appearance, a good pair will go a long way in preventing work-related injuries. Did you know 27% of work-related health problems are musculoskeletal disorders?. According to a report from HSE, 41% of these affect the workers’ backs and lower limbs. These are the sort of issues that might be prevented by wearing the correct footwear. Avoid injury and discomfort with comfy black shoes for work at Shoes For Crews.
Different models in black for different job roles
As we mentioned before, Shoes For Crews offers a wide variety of styles, not just for the sake of appearance, but to enhance functionality and performance. Depending on the different job roles, you will be able to find comfy black shoes for work that suit the staff’s needs while keeping them protected from dangers.
Black hospitality work shoes
Bartenders, waiters, chefs, baristas, and so on have very physically demanding jobs, they move constantly during their shifts and are expected to work with the same intensity throughout their day, often risking their health as they run over slippery surfaces.
Moreover, those who come into contact with the public might also need to comply with certain rules of etiquette, traditionally wearing black or dark colours. Whether their clothing is casual or smart, comfy black work shoes are the perfect accessory to their uniform.
Black safety work shoes
Hospitality staff are not the only ones who can benefit from stylish, yet functional and safe shoes: facility managers, logistics drivers or warehouse staff also have demanding jobs, and even though they might not be so exposed to slippery floors, they might step onto surfaces with pointy objects or risk large objects falling on their feet while they work. They also might walk over dirty areas during their shift, and black safety shoes will have a clean appearance for longer while they perform their tasks.
At Shoes For Crews we can offer safety shoes and boots with protection such as steel toes, or puncture proof and tapered outsoles so that nothing gets through them, protecting the wearer’s feet. According to statistics from the HSE, 1.8 million workers were injured or made ill by their employment in Great Britain in 2022/2023. With our safety features, we want to help decrease this figure with outsoles that go far beyond the minimum safety requirements. If you are looking for a safe, sturdy work shoe that matches any uniform, we have it.
Finding the right work shoe is not always an easy task; what features should it have? What appearance? What colour? This last question is quite straightforward: when in doubt, go with black.
