Our Tester Says: Tennis shoe comfort in a big-load boot.Dear LOWA...My name is Ben Gold and I own a terrific restaurant here in Greenville. Iwork anywhere from 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week on my feet cooking formy customers and after days like that I still have the energy to be a good dadto my 10 month old son and a good husband to my wife. I truly owe it to myLowa’s. They are without a doubt the most complete and comfortable shoe I’veever worn in the kitchen (and they are grease resistant to boot!). I’ve triedcooking clogs, cooking shoes geared towards chefs in all those catalogs and theyjust cannot compete. I started wearing Lowas in the late 90’s when I lived inColorado. I was a baker and an absolute madman to get my feet on the trailwhenever I could. Even today with owning a restaurant and being a father, Iget to the woods several times a month. My wife Betsy and I both believe thatgetting our dogs and baby boy into the natural world is imperative to a healthy,happy family. From the kitchen to the trail, my Lowa’s never leave my feet. Ibelieve that there is an untouched market for Lowa in the culinary world. IfI can be a voice or a poster child, or whatever to get the word out to otherchefs, cooks, culinary institutes that the most comfortable kitchen shoe is a stateof the art hiking shoe - I will do it!
