GT1pro & St Pro Amici – Professional Chef Shoes Developed by Chaud Devant & MICHELIN®

GT1pro and St Pro Amici are professional chef shoes created through a unique collaboration between Chaud Devant and MICHELIN® Technical Soles. The range combines European design with exceptional grip, durable comfort and high hygiene standards – exactly what modern kitchens and HoReCa environments demand.

While the GT1pro model includes aluminium safety toe protection for added protection, St Pro Amici is a soft-toe model without toe protection. Both are developed specifically for chefs, kitchen staff and professionals working on slippery floors who need maximum traction, support and comfort.

Built for chefs – optimised for slippery kitchen floors

Both GT1pro and St Pro Amici are engineered with ergonomics, safety and hygiene in mind. Water-repellent uppers combined with MICHELIN® outsoles make the shoes ideal for professional environments with water, grease and high pace.

Key features shared by both models

• MICHELIN® slip-resistant outsole – designed for slippery, wet and greasy floors.
• Water-repellent leather – easy to clean and durable in professional kitchens.
• Cambrelle® insole lining – temperature regulating and antibacterial.
• 3 mm Poron® Performance padding – absorbs shock and reduces strain on feet and joints.
• Lace-free design – hygienic and easier to clean.
• PU construction – high stability with lightweight comfort.

These models are especially recommended for kitchens, catering, canteens and production areas, where floors are often slippery and require reliable grip.

GT1pro – aluminium safety toe for added protection

GT1pro is designed for professionals who need extra protection. The aluminium toe cap makes the shoe relevant in environments where impact or falling objects may occur – without sacrificing comfort.

• Aluminium safety toe – lightweight and strong.
• Extra shock absorption for long shifts.
• Ideal for larger kitchens, catering, production and selected industrial environments.

St Pro Amici – soft-toe comfort for slippery floors

St Pro Amici is one of Chaud Devant’s most popular soft-toe models. Without toe protection, it is lighter and more flexible – yet still extremely slip-resistant and stable. A strong choice for chefs and kitchen teams in fast-paced operations.

• Soft toe (no safety toe) – flexible and lightweight.
• Optimised for slippery kitchen floors and service areas.
• Easy to clean with antibacterial lining.

Recommended use

Both models perform best on smooth kitchen floors and indoor walkways without rough surface structure. The MICHELIN® outsole is developed for high friction on wet and greasy surfaces and delivers optimal performance in those conditions.

• Not ideal for uneven or very rough ground.
• Top choice for central kitchens, hotels, restaurants and institutions.
• Designed for professionals with high demands for safety and comfort.
