Anatomy of Work Safety Shoes

A shoe consists of many parts such as the sole, upper, toe, heel, and lining.

To decide which type of safety shoe we need, we should answer the following questions:

• Is sole protection required?
• Is there a risk of slipping in the environment?
• Is there electrical current?
• Are there chemicals present?
• Is there high heat?

For example, if a protective toe shoe is needed and there is water in the environment, then a waterproof shoe standard (S2 or S3) should be used.

In environments where high temperature, acid, and alkali are present, nitrile soles are preferred; if there is a need for slip resistance, shock absorption, and comfort, options like double-density polyurethane soles can be selected.

If there is electrical current and a risk of electric shock in the environment, it is essential to use shoes with composite toe caps and soles that have electrical resistance. For insulation, the shoe should have a rubber sole and be resistant to electricity up to 15 kV.

If the risk analysis indicates that toe protection is not necessary, a non-steel shoe may be sufficient. If there is a risk of slipping, presence of petroleum and its derivatives, or chemical solutions, a slip-resistant shoe with an SRC sole must be selected.

Some materials and layers used in manufacturing a shoe (such as steel toe caps and slip-resistant soles) must also have separate certifications. By choosing YDS in your factory or field, you ensure international-level safety and comfort.
