Safety Shoes - Work Shoes
When you're in the workplace, it's important not to risk accidents-that's why there are different types of safety shoes designed to protect workers, their health and prevent injuries.
Choosing a pair of safety shoes suitable for your job is the first factor to consider before buying, in fact, the choice of safety shoes should vary depending on the industry and type of use. A first step can be to identify whether we need a high or low shoe, you can then start choosing from here:
- High shoes
- Low shoes
But what exactly does that mean?
High safety shoes
High safety shoes are recommended for the most sensitive sectors to reduce stress: bricklayers, carpenters, mechanics or metalworkers. High work shoes, in fact, completely envelop the ankle, providing maximum stability for the operator, greatly decreasing the risks related to sprains, allowing you to work with greater peace of mind.
In addition, this type of footwear is particularly suitable, if lined, when the work involves outdoor activities, as especially in winter it provides better protection from the cold and weather.
Low safety shoes
Flat shoes offer one of the benefits workers seek: freedom of movement.
Safety shoes use technical material and are therefore also much lighter. Therefore, this type of safety footwear is recommended for workers who have to walk a lot or need to move quickly and smoothly.
Again, low-top safety shoes are often associated with warmer seasons because of their light weight, breathability and thermal regulation capabilities.
Sports safety shoes
Sporty safety shoes are sneakers type, often associated with sneakers because they offer greater freedom of movement and are undoubtedly lighter.
In addition, this type of footwear has an insole that cushions more than ordinary work shoes. All models have soles that store energy when the foot applies force to the sole. This force is partly returned to the foot as return energy with a defatiguing effect that decreases the effort of walking.
Safety shoes by season
After analyzing the type of shoe construction, if your goal is to maximize shoe comfort, seasonality is a second important factor to consider.
The level of comfort experienced by an operator is actually proportional to the temperature of the feet, which, depending on the season, will have different needs:

- Winter shoes
- Summer shoes
So what is the difference between safety boots, winter shoes and summer shoes?
Winter safety boots
Winter work boots can withstand cold, wind, rain and in some cases even snow.
Before they reach the market, these boots are tested for compatibility and will not forgive the slightest defect, as it has been proven over and over again that high quality polyurethane safety boots facilitate the thermoregulation process. They increase the safety, protection and productivity of the worker.
In this regard, it should also be mentioned...
Waterproof safety shoes
Waterproof safety shoes are necessary for those who work outdoors, in wet environments or those who are in direct contact with water such as a stonemason.
Therefore, we report that, on our website, 100% waterproof work shoes, from the upper to the tread, can be recognized by the abbreviation "WR" (English: waterproof). Therefore, S3 waterproof and water-repellent safety shoes guarantee a waterproof upper.
The most popular material for waterproof safety footwear is GoreTex®, which has tiny holes that do not allow water to enter from the outside, but at the same time has a large enough diameter to expel the passage of water vapor generated outward, leaving the foot dry.
- Summer shoes

Summer safety shoes
Summer safety shoes must be able to brighten the already heat-threatened workday.
This type of footwear must have two basic requirements:
- Breathability: the need to avoid overheating of the feet, which can cause injury due to sweating.
- Lightness: also guaranteed by the type of toe box. If you are looking for this feature in your list, Composite is one of the best.
In addition, flexibility has its importance as it serves to ensure maximum comfort even when bending or working in particular positions.
Lightweight safety shoes | Comfortable safety shoes
Lightweight safety shoes are the best summer/spring choice due to the use of technical materials to keep feet cool and dry.
In fact, in addition to being lightweight, these shoes have breathable inner linings and ergonomic insoles that provide maximum comfort without sacrificing safety.
Again for the best results, but with less weight, the anti-puncture panels are made with the latest technology, which allows steel to be replaced with equally strong but lighter textile fibers.
Most popular in health care and catering

- White safety shoes
- Orthopedic safety shoes
Let's find out together the reasons for this result.
White safety shoes
White safety shoes are suitable for a variety of sectors and were chosen more specifically for the following reasons:
- Health care industry
- Food industry
- Nuclear power plant
- Cleaning and service enterprise
These types of shoes are often sought after in the aforementioned professions because the white color gives them an unparalleled sense of sobriety and cleanliness.It is no wonder that white safety shoes are designed to be easy to clean, even in the washing machine. The color does not change over time.
In addition, their non-slip properties, defined by the acronym SRC (SRA+SRB), have been studied and tested thoroughly by top experts, because it is not uncommon to find slippery floors especially in gastronomy.
Orthopedic safety shoes
You can recognize orthopedic safety shoes on this website by the acronym "DGUV."
This acronym refers to a set of regulations that define the standards needed to obtain a CE certificate.
These shoes are designed to fit orthopedic and non-orthopedic insoles and external insoles to improve foot conditions. In fact, many users find that wearing this particular shoe alters the perception of fatigue because painless work is not so obvious to everyone.

Safety shoes: what they are for and who should use them
Safety shoes are essential for all workers who work in certain environments.
That is why they are essential in most professions, such as electricians, for example, to protect themselves from electric shocks.
The same is true for the various working classes: whether warehouse workers, mechanics or foundries, the risk of falling heavy objects applies to everyone.
How long do safety shoes last?
The durability of work shoes is a factor most often associated with the brand name and its cost.
This does not mean spending an exorbitant amount of money, but in fact a high-priced shoe is an additional guarantee as it accommodates an equally high production cost due to the use of quality materials.
Therefore, when it comes to high quality, it pays to make a higher expenditure at the beginning, which will turn into future savings as replacement will take place over a longer time.
In general, a good work shoe has an average life of 6-12 months: however, this is not a fixed value and depends on various factors such as working conditions, use, etc.
Use and maintenance of work shoes
Finally, remember that for good maintenance and proper use of safety shoes, it is necessary to:
- Clean the footwear regularly after use and allow it to dry away from heat sources
- Regularly check the integrity of soles and uppers

- Protective toe cap
- Non-slip sole and shock absorber
- Anti-puncture insert
Additional features
Surely you have seen additional abbreviations beyond the safety ratings, possibly next to the title of the work shoe. In fact, the presence of these codes is no accident, and each one has a meaning that covers a specific function according to European regulations:
"CE" legislation

Remember, for your safety, safety shoes must be certified according to the following European standards introduced in 2012 and prescribed by our legislators:
EN ISO 20344 → Test methods and general requirements for testing footwear for degree of protection
EN ISO 20345 → Toe test must withstand a fall of about 20 kg from a height of 1 m (200 J) without breaking.
EN ISO 20346 → must withstand a fall of about 20 kg from a height of ½ m (100 J) without breaking
EN ISO 20347 → Indicates work shoes without a toecap and marked with the letter O
Types of toecap
The toecap is one of the basic elements of a work shoe; the materials that make up the toecap are various and often distinguished:
Steel toe cap → Widely used in the past because it is durable and heavy. However, it does not provide insulation and does not offer much flexibility, but it is still the cheapest
- Aluminum toe cap → lightweight material that provides excellent thermal insulation and comfort in all respects. Costs more, but it is worth the money spent.
- Plastic toe cap (composite) → light weight, high thermal insulation and good flexibility. Medium-high cost.
In addition, there are also toe-less safety shoes, which are particularly suitable for people who need to move quickly and flexibly, such as restaurant workers.

In any case, it is always good to read the policies of the company you work for before choosing this type.
Foil in the sole
In addition to the toe, the lamina can be made of various materials, among which the following stand out:
- Steel → can protect the foot with special attention to the sole (up to 85%); however, it has poor insulation and low flexibility without being non-magnetic.
- Non-metallic → 100% protection of the sole of the foot with excellent thermal insulation, flexibility and non-magnetic properties. All in all, it can be easily concluded that non-metallic puncture protection sheet is better than steel sheet.
Upper
The upper is also not a factor to be taken lightly, because it really makes a difference in comfort. It can be made of:
- Suede → soft and lightweight, but not waterproof
- Grain leather and nubuck → liquid-resistant and adaptable to all conditions
- Faux leather → twice as breathable as leather, easy to wash at 40°, hypoallergenic, acid resistant and environmentally friendly.
Overall, the upper does not play as crucial a role in safety as toe and plate, but it can completely change the perception of the shoe itself.
