We’re not talking Lucchese’s here, though in my neck of the woods I wouldn’t be too shocked to see a pair. Baristas want thick, cushiony soles and protection from the wear and tear from hundreds of hours behind a coffee machine. And for that, people went with Doc Martens and Blundstones.

It is an iconic silhouette, that just so happens to also wreak havoc on your body. ![]() Can you believe people used to play professional basketball in these?! Chucks will forever be part of classic, casual style, but keep them in the closet for your barista shift. No matter what your style is, one this is for sure, service industry folks are now lousy with choice when it comes to good quality footwear.
