    Would they not provide you with shoes? You would probably want the non slip steel toe kind.

    I'd suggest spending the money on ecco shoes - they're comfortable and last the beating they'll get in that line of work - if you're doing table service especially.

    Ecco can be expensive so if you're looking for a cheaper option I'd suggest looking into insoles.

    Nope, dress yourself for bar work - always been the way unless they give you t-shirts which is rare around my neck of the woods

    Fair enough. I would have thought the health and safety brigade would have been on this as a keg on the toe or a slip are real possibilities in that kind of work. Good luck with the new job AA.

    Another shout for Ecco.

    My youngest has worked in a bar for many years and always wore Ecco.
    Very comfortable.

    Good luck

    Yeah always found Ecco to be the most comfortable. Don't need to 'wear them in', or anything.

    Have two pairs of these myself. Got bored with all the loud and bold colours of a lot of trainers today. Comfortable and understated imo, grand for casual wear.

    Just reread your post, they're very like vans only not as pricey. Have mine two years, would wear them quite a lot.

    They're not bad at all. Good shout!!
    Whats the delivery time on them generally?
    (Edit - or when can i get them in Dublin?)

    I find with Vans the rubber on the outside tends to loosen after a few weeks.

    Got mine locally here in Cork. Just looking at their website there, they're in Dundrum and Ilac centres, Henry and Talbot street, and Tallaght??

    Think it was a shop called O Neills, but judging by their website they don't seem to have the full stock anymore.

    https://www.oneillsshoes.ie/cat/boots2/page-1

    I did see them in a few places around Henry Street/O'Connell Street though, I am sure.

    Haven't seen any of them with leather upper, mine are canvas with rubber lower. Can't remember which model I have though as they don't seem to be on the site/discontinued??

    So I don't know is the answer:-(
