I took a summer doing construction once and worked part time at the restaurant I worked at. I had some steel toe shoes that I wore during construction and started wearing them in the kitchen when I finished that job. They were starting to go to shit so I got some crocs for kitchen shoes. First day in the crocz dropped a god damn half pan and the corner hit me right in the big toe. I regretted them instantly.
I always step back and feet together.
I am not sure if the feet together part works, but I feel it lowers the least chance of the knife of stabbing or cutting me due to minimising the possible contact area.
I am going on the theory of the inner calves are closed together, preventing the knife from being able to cut you there.
It is just what I do, and so far it has worked.
When I first started out in the industry, I worked at a place where we were allowed to wear sneakers.
I learned the hard way why that's not a good idea.
My Chefs knife went clear through my foot and embedded in the wooden floorboards. I looked down as it vibrated from the impact and looked at my teammate standing next to me.
"Sheesh, that's gonna hurt when I pull it out." 😪
Needless to say, it did. I bought work boots the next day.
BTW. I was working in a heritage listed building, hence the wooden floor boards.
As fast and as sharp as the tent peg that went through my foot and out the other side when I was 12, I guess.
That wasn't sharp. That was a crimped headed thing.
It just has to go between the bones down near the toes. Sure, there are tendons, but they are not wide, and they are flexible.
The sneakers were canvas type, I wasn't rolling in Reebok cash.
You must suffer from some sort of mental malfunction, if a knife falls into your foot and is well stuck in that motherfucker, and the first thing *you* do is take a pic.
EDIT:guess it does need context no that’s not me it’s my boss making fun of my bistro crocs he sent me that photo and the other photo is how I responded
"You are going to be able to cover your shift, right? I know Clopens are a bitch, but you need to let me know if you can find someone to cover your shift."
Yah was actually thinking that and all clogs have the issue of potentially filled with hot liquid. End of the day I only make fun of peoples kitchen shoes if they are non slips.
I adore crocs in the kitchen. By far the best shoe ive found in my time working in the industry. Slowly im converting the rest of the staff in the venue
There’s a show on YouTube called “Beautiful, Tasty, Beautiful!” and there was a chef on there named Cammie and she said that some chefs wear steel toe boots so they don’t drop knives on their feet and I was like “Okay Chef Cammie” but maybe she had a point
I mean, it's definitely a legitimate concern. I can't stand when crew members want crocks. They are so unsafe and hurt people's feet. I don't get why anyone would choose to wear them.
Lmao I’ve seen this pic before. Crocs chef clogs for life. I’ll burn my hands before dropping finished product, let alone a fucking knife. Bad handling skills.
I had a narrow miss like this. Some idiot put a knife under a big rondeau pan that was on a drying rack. Covered it completely, I pulled it off the rack and knife popped out and fell to the floor. It missed my foot by a few cm. Thanks to OP for letting me see what that looks like. Hope you were ok!
So, not to get technical but you really ought to get some sabatons, greaves are just shin guards
Edit: I'm fuckin blind, didn't read the whole listing on the Amazon link
No pictures of injuries allowed.
>No context just laughs(I wear bright blue bistro crocs to work Call me crazy, but I think the context might be that there's a knife in your foot
"you got a fuckin dart in your neck. You should pull that out."
You’re crazy….you’re..crazy…..I like you!….but, you’re crazy!
Hello darkness my old friend.
'This beer tastes like ice cream'
I can't tell you how many times I wished I had a fuckin' dart in my neck.
Don't get high on neck darts kids. 😂
No, you really shouldn't, unless you want to bleed to death
Sir, this is a Wendy's.
[удалено]
Actually it's from old school with will Ferrell. It is Stifler saying it though.
Wrong movie.
It’s not my foot there’s two images my boss sent me that of a buddy because I wear bistro crocs aswell
Eesh! Crocks with no socks is fuckin gnarly.
Ya obviously I don’t do that but he loves making fun of my bistro crocs

I need to ask do you have crocs that come with steel toe caps, or are you alowed to wear shoes without them in the kitchen?
In lurking but this is the only time someone agrees with me on this topic lol. Maybe nurses forum would as well.
My chef wears crocs and he earned a star. Definitely wears socks though
Gives me hope and this isn’t me my chef found this photo I sent the texts in the next image
As a croc enthusiast, thank you for sharing this.
I actually had a guy who applied, I interviewed, im which they showed up in Crocs without socks.
Nah that’s crazy like the amount of ways that could go wrong
In my eyes, that's a "bottom-of-the-barrell" cook.
I’ve yet to see a cook come in like that
Dont jinx yourself haha
🤞🏽
Is that worse than coming in kinda drunk? ( and getting hired on the spot.)
Kinda drunk is "line cook sober"
Took an extra shift today to cover for a colleague. It's a short shift but I'm still considering drinking before showing up. Cause why not
You just described my entire career.
So you’re supposed to step back when sharps fall lol
Yup this is not me there’s two images
Ah, well RIP that guy’s foot
Ya lol my chef was just bashing for using bistro crocs
I always step back and feet together. I am not sure if the feet together part works, but I feel it lowers the least chance of the knife of stabbing or cutting me due to minimising the possible contact area.
But.. the area is still the same?

Jesus
How fast and sharp would the knife have to be that it stabs through your flesh and into the floorboards?? What?
As fast and as sharp as the tent peg that went through my foot and out the other side when I was 12, I guess. That wasn't sharp. That was a crimped headed thing. It just has to go between the bones down near the toes. Sure, there are tendons, but they are not wide, and they are flexible. The sneakers were canvas type, I wasn't rolling in Reebok cash.
Spill hot soup down those and the heat dissipation will make it feel like a bubble foot massager.
Niceeee
Ride in on a BMX holding a sharpened mop handle. We'll see if he's serious about dueling, then.
😂
If you wear the greaves, make sure they're nonslip. Just looking out for you, chef.
Thanks really appreciate it

There’s two photos bud it’s not me chef sent me this to make fun of my work crocs
You gotta mention that and the original post! You got everybody thinking that this happened to you
It’s In the texts my boss says he’s just making fun of me for wearing crocs but I posted a comment cuz it won’t let me edit post
I propose that you need to start communicating clearer.
It’s literally in the texts
OUCH!
Crocs are great in the kitchen! Those are the wrong kind though 😅😭
Exactlyyyyy
You deserved that for wearing crocs in the kitchen. And no socks 🤮🤮
Buddy there’s two photos it’s a photo my chef sent me not me. He’s making fun of me for wearing my bistro crocs and yes I wear socks
Yeah I know…
EDIT:guess it does need context no that’s not me it’s my boss making fun of my bistro crocs he sent me that photo and the other photo is how I responded
This is some of that good old fashioned kitchen pirate shit we used to see so often around here. Love it
Hell yeah
I am uncomfortable I- why do I feel uncomfortable its an image #WHY ARE YOU NOT IN THE FUCKING HOSPITAL?!?!
It’s not me lol
Oh thank god
"You are going to be able to cover your shift, right? I know Clopens are a bitch, but you need to let me know if you can find someone to cover your shift."
😂
Imagine wearing crocs anywhere. Pathetic shoes
Sheesh so negative they’re super comfy at work so
I’m too blunt with my owners, I’d be like so you going to buy me a new pair of Danskos then huh?
Well he knows I have brand new birkis waiting to be used I just haven’t broke them in yet. It’s funny you say that since he wears danskos lol
Don’t think berkos are any more knife resistant… The pairs I’ve had were just bougie crocs lol
Hmm definetly bougee crocs but dansko don’t cover much more of your foot tbh and my birkis and steel toed
Yah was actually thinking that and all clogs have the issue of potentially filled with hot liquid. End of the day I only make fun of peoples kitchen shoes if they are non slips.
So all kitchen shoes?😂or did u mean ones that aren’t non slip
If you wear Air Force ones on the line or the pit I’ll give you shit put it that way lol
Ahh yes I understand you now
Real talk imagine the slip and side wearing medieval boots in a kitchen. I’d give it about the first lunch rush before you eat shit.
That might be too generous especially if its a busy lunch is guess the first trip to the walk in for more Brussels would take me out
It makes it ok for work because you got em in sport mode. Otherwise you’d be a lazy clumsy worker prone to accidents.
Exactlyyy
I adore crocs in the kitchen. By far the best shoe ive found in my time working in the industry. Slowly im converting the rest of the staff in the venue
Yesss I love them but my birki crocs are awesome just hate breaking them in
There’s a show on YouTube called “Beautiful, Tasty, Beautiful!” and there was a chef on there named Cammie and she said that some chefs wear steel toe boots so they don’t drop knives on their feet and I was like “Okay Chef Cammie” but maybe she had a point
Lol
I mean, it's definitely a legitimate concern. I can't stand when crew members want crocks. They are so unsafe and hurt people's feet. I don't get why anyone would choose to wear them.
How?
You have to get the right Crocs for the job
Lmao I’ve seen this pic before. Crocs chef clogs for life. I’ll burn my hands before dropping finished product, let alone a fucking knife. Bad handling skills.
Exactlyyy
A falling knife has no handle
I had a narrow miss like this. Some idiot put a knife under a big rondeau pan that was on a drying rack. Covered it completely, I pulled it off the rack and knife popped out and fell to the floor. It missed my foot by a few cm. Thanks to OP for letting me see what that looks like. Hope you were ok!
Ya it wasn’t me my boss sent me that photo
So, not to get technical but you really ought to get some sabatons, greaves are just shin guards Edit: I'm fuckin blind, didn't read the whole listing on the Amazon link
Wait what😭
Yeah the shit that goes over your feet are sabatons, greaves are shinguards. Where you think the band got their name from?
Ohhh 😂😂😭
