Skechers Cessnock Slip-Resistant Food Service Work Shoe (Soft Toe)

Skechers Cessnock slip-resistant food-service work shoe

On this page: Features · Specs · Fit & use · Compare · FAQ

The Skechers Cessnock is a lightweight slip-resistant work shoe built for kitchens, food service, and healthcare floors. It pairs a machine-washable knit upper with a relaxed-fit last, memory-foam insole, and a slip-resistant outsole, so it is the Skechers to buy when you are on your feet all shift on wet or greasy floors and want a shoe you can toss in the wash. Browse it alongside the full slip-resistant shoes collection.

This is a soft-toe shoe. It has no steel, alloy, or composite safety cap and carries no ASTM F2413 impact or compression rating, so it offers no protection against dropped or rolling objects. It is built for traction and comfort on slick floors, not for impact hazards. If your role involves falling tools, pallets, or heavy stock, choose a steel toe boot or composite toe boot instead. For a full slip-resistant lineup, see the slip-resistant shoes collection and the best slip-resistant work shoes guide.

Specifications

Who should buy it, and how to size

The Cessnock fits line cooks, servers, baristas, dishwashers, and healthcare staff who spend the shift on slick floors and want a washable, comfortable shoe. Because it is a soft-toe shoe, it is not for roles with dropped-object exposure. The relaxed-fit last runs roomy, so many buyers take their true size and some size down a half if they are between sizes or want a snugger fit. Add a supportive insole from the work boot insoles collection if you need more arch support, and pair with moisture-wicking work socks for long kitchen shifts.

Cross-shop two siblings before you decide: the Shoes For Crews Everlight sneaker if you want the restaurant-standard slip-resistance brand, and the Skechers Nampa food-service shoe if you want the lowest price. The Cessnock differs from the Nampa mainly in its machine-washable knit upper and relaxed fit. All three sit in the slip-resistant shoes collection.

How the Cessnock compares

Choose the Cessnock over the Skechers Nampa when you want a washable knit upper and are willing to pay a little more; choose the Nampa to save money. Choose the Shoes For Crews Everlight if your workplace standardizes on the SFC slip-resistant outsole. For the full breakdown, read the best slip-resistant work shoes guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does the Skechers Cessnock have a safety toe?

No. It is a soft-toe slip-resistant shoe with no steel, alloy, or composite cap and no ASTM F2413 impact rating. For a protective toe, see our steel toe boots or composite toe boots.

Is the Cessnock really machine washable?

Yes - the knit upper is designed to be machine washed, which is unusual and useful for kitchen crews who deal with spills and odors. Air dry rather than heat dry to protect the outsole bond.

What size should I order?

The relaxed-fit last runs roomy. Most buyers take their true size; if you are between sizes or want a snugger fit, consider sizing down a half. Adding an insole from our work boot insoles collection can also take up a little volume.

Is the shoe waterproof?

No. The knit upper is breathable but not waterproof against standing liquid. It is built for slip resistance and comfort, not immersion.

What floors is it good for?

Wet, greasy, and freshly mopped kitchen, food-service, and healthcare floors. The slip-resistant outsole is tuned for those surfaces.

Who is this shoe best for?

Line cooks, servers, baristas, dishwashers, and healthcare staff who stand and walk on slick floors and want a washable, comfortable, soft-toe shoe.

How is it different from the Skechers Nampa?

The Skechers Nampa is the lower-priced budget option; the Cessnock adds a machine-washable knit upper and a relaxed fit.

Can I add my own insole?

Yes. The stock memory-foam insole is removable, so you can swap in an arch-support insole from our best work boot insoles picks.

Is it good for outdoor or industrial work?

No. It is a food-service and healthcare-floor shoe. For outdoor or industrial-floor work with impact hazards, choose a safety-toe boot from the safety footwear collection.

Does it come in wide widths?

The relaxed-fit last already gives a roomy forefoot, which many wide-foot wearers find comfortable without a dedicated wide size.

What socks work best with it?

Moisture-wicking work socks help manage sweat on long, warm kitchen shifts.

Where does it rank among slip-resistant shoes?

See how it stacks up against the Everlight, Nampa, and Crocs Bistro in our best slip-resistant work shoes guide.
