Shorts

Whether youre wearing cargo shorts, flat front or even jean shorts, youll want to avoid a standard high top. Stick with a simple sneaker to keep the casual look.The SR Max Austin is one of our casual and comfortable work shoes. The mesh upper offers exceptional breathability, so its great for servers who work both inside and outside.You can also look into the New Balance Athletic, a traditional sport sneaker with a slick leather upper and ABZORB heel technology.

Jeans

Jeans offer a lot of flexibility, even in the heat of summer. Depending on the general feel of your workplace atmosphere, you can look into any of these comfortable low-top work shoes.The SR Max Seattle is a simple black sneaker that works well for servers, busboys or grocery store clerks. Available in both white and black.If you work in a kitchen, maybe as a dishwasher or line cook, the SR Max Charlotte offers a smooth slip on style thats easy to get in and out of quickly and doesnt trap food.Finally, a restaurant host or waiter might enjoy the SR Max Edison. This oxford comes in either black or brown, so it works with just about any work uniform.

Khakis

Khakis tend to be less forgiving towards sneakers, so Id suggest a comfortable oxford. Youll still look professional, but your feet will snug and relaxed as if you were wearing a sneaker. The Rockport Slip Resistant Boat Shoe offers a low-top sporty feel with the appearance of a casual type dress shoe. The square toe and slimming shape are great summer looks as well.  Another good oxford option is the SR Max Burke. This slip resistant, composite toe shoe is similar to the Providence, but with a simpler design. Both brown and black options have an oiled, tumbled leather upper. Want some advice about what styles would look best for your work uniform, or just want some further insight into shoe styles?
