At Snibbs, we're not just about creating the best non-slip shoes for the hospitality industry – we're about celebrating the vibrant food culture that weaves through everything we do. This past weekend, we had the incredible opportunity to participate in Family Style Fest, an event that truly embodies the spirit of LA's diverse and dynamic culinary scene.
Founded by restauranteur Haik Zadoyan and celebrity chef Daniel Shemtob, a 2x winner of Food Network's Great Food Truck Race and proud owner of LA restaurants like Hatch and the Limetruck, Snibbs has always been deeply connected to the city's food community. Our participation in Family Style Fest was a natural extension of this connection, allowing us to engage directly with the people who inspire what we do.
To mark this special occasion, we served up a limited edition yellow non-slip clog, available exclusively to VIPs at Family Style Fest. The Clog features a vegan leather upper that's easy to clean, paired with our certified non-slip rubber sole for maximum traction and stability. The response was overwhelming – we had a line at our booth all day long!
The Clog brings together style, comfort, and safety for professionals in high-demand environments. Featuring a certified slip-resistant rubber sole, this clog ensures maximum traction, making it perfect for kitchens, hospitals, and other fast-paced workplaces. Its vegan leather upper is water-resistant and easy to clean, allowing you to maintain a fresh look even in messy conditions. The custom dual-density insole offers lasting comfort, reducing foot fatigue during long shifts.
Inspired by hardworking professionals in hospitality and beyond, the Snibbs Clog is designed for those who need both performance and style. With its vibrant yellow color, this limited-edition clog stands out while providing ergonomic support for all-day wear. Whether you're a chef, nurse, or server, these clogs are built to help you perform at your best, while supporting a brand that is dedicated to the communities it serves.
One of the highlights of the event was our partnership with Kuya Lord, an acclaimed LA-based restaurant led by James Beard Award-winning Chef Maynard. Chef Maynard and his entire team sported Snibbs throughout the festival, showcasing how our shoes can stand up to the demands of a busy kitchen while looking – and performing – great.
This collaboration is a testament to the strong bonds within LA's culinary community. As we’d put it, "game recognizes game," and we're honored to support and be supported by top-tier talents like Chef Maynard.
Family Style Fest was more than just an opportunity to showcase our products – it was a chance to connect with the people who make LA's food scene so special. We had meaningful conversations with chefs, servers, and food enthusiasts alike, reinforcing our commitment to creating shoes that truly serve the needs of hospitality workers.
As a result of the incredible response at the festival, we're thrilled to be sending out over 1,200 pairs of Snibbs to attendees. It's just one way of saying thank you to the community that has supported us from the beginning.
While the limited edition yellow clogs were a Family Style Fest exclusive, you can still experience the comfort and style of Snibbs by shopping The Clog. Each pair embodies the same dedication to quality and functionality that made our Family Style Festival offering so popular.
At Snibbs, we believe in putting workers first. That's why we're proud to be part of local events, and partner with local charities that support the hospitality industry. When you choose Snibbs, you're not just getting a great pair of shoes – you're supporting a brand that's committed to giving back to the community that inspired us.
Join us in celebrating the hardworking individuals who keep LA's food scene thriving. Because at Snibbs, we're not just making shoes – we're supporting hard workers across the county.
