Why is a white boot required in food processing?

Many HACCP and food safety regulations require white footwear so that contamination (dirt, blood, chemicals) is immediately visible. The Bastion White meets this requirement.

Can I disinfect the Bastion White?

Yes. The PVC construction can be rinsed, hosed down or treated with standard food-safe disinfectants without damaging the boot.

What is the difference between S4 and S5?

S4 is a fully waterproof polymer boot with a protective toe cap. S5 adds a puncture-resistant midsole. The Bastion is rated S4, so it does not include puncture protection.

Is the Bastion White the same boot as the Bastion Green?

Yes, same construction and S4 SRC rating. The only difference is the colour. Green is typically chosen for agriculture and industry, white for food processing and healthcare.

Shoes fitting and sizing guide

Our chef shoes fitting and sizing guide helps you choose the right Shoes For Crews and catering footwear. Sizes follow EU standards. If you are between two sizes, order half a size up. We show only available sizes on the product page. If the shoes do not fit, you can return unworn pairs within 14 days.

Try shoes in the late afternoon or evening, when feet are at their largest.
Always test shoes with the socks you usually wear for work.
If you use insoles or orthotics, account for the extra volume. Replace removable insoles with your own if needed.
Pick a model that matches the shape of your foot.
The widest part of your foot should match the widest part of the shoe. The shoe should be as wide as your foot and about 1.3 cm longer than your longest toe when standing.
Move your toes to check that there is enough toe room.
Avoid shoes that are too narrow. This prevents heel slip and gives a secure fit across the top of your foot.
Boots give more support and last longer, but they are heavier and less flexible at the top.
Wear the shoes indoors on a clean surface for a few minutes to test comfort before use at work.
Feet grow as you age, so check your size again if it has been a while.
Do not expect narrow shoes to stretch. They will not.
Thick soles absorb impact on hard floors.
Laced or hook-and-loop fastenings give a more secure fit than slip-ons.
Low-heel shoes are safer and more comfortable for long shifts than high heels.

At ChefsCotton, we know how important the right fit is, for clothing and shoes alike. Any questions about sizing? Reach out to our Customer Service team. We're happy to help you find the perfect fit!
