Great industrial footwear should make safety and protection for your

Great industrial footwear should make safety and protection for your feet an absolute top priority. 

A good pair of industrial safety shoes for men or women should be constructed from tough but lightweight, durable materials and have protective toe caps that will cushion your feet from heavy items falling on to them.

Anti-sole penetration protection is also important because in an industrial environment many things can puncture the sole of the shoe and cause accident or injury to your feet, so it s ensure your safety shoes feature this as well, in order to stay safe and protected.

Look out too for a high grip sole so that you don’t have any nasty slips or falls that could be easily prevented and ensure that the safety shoe you choose has a sole that complies with the current EU standards for protective footwear.

Durability and cost are two other major factors you should be considering when looking into purchasing a pair of industrial shoes. 

It can sometimes be tempting to go for a cheaper option that skimps on the various elements required and doesn’t offer full protection to the wearer, because of budget constraints, but a great industrial safety shoe for men or women does not always have to break the bank.

The All Terrain Pro is an affordable unisex leather safety boot that will make a great long-term investment too, due to its durable construction and hard-wearing design. 

The shoe features metal-free safety toe caps, nail proof sole penetration prevention, and also offers electrostatic discharge protection in line with current ESD resistance requirements.

Style can often be put on the back burner when it comes to choosing a good safety shoe but this does not always have to be the case, as the LowSneaker proves, this shoe is also a great choice for those looking for vegan safety shoes for men or women as it is Vegan Society approved.

Machine washable, this stylish sneaker offers the same benefits as the All Terrain Pro, and even comes with the additional bonus of full UV protection against the sun’s harmful UV rays.

Another thing to consider when shopping for suitable safety shoes is gel padding. 

This is a sometimes overlooked factor which can actually make all the difference for tired stressed out legs and feet, as a shoe or boot with gel cushioning will result in a greatly reduced risk of impact to fragile muscles and tendons, exactly what you should be looking out for if you are going to be on your feet for long periods of time.

And take care to ensure that your shoes or boots have an oil and chemical resistant coating so that potentially dangerous toxic or flammable substances can’t seep in to the fabric of your shoe, putting you at risk.

Both the shoes I recommended above have gel cushioning inside to protect feet and also have an oil and chemical resistant coating as well.

Do make sure too that your industrialsafety footwear is constructed from lightweight materials, a very important thing to look out for in working shoes for men or women, to ensure flexibility and ease of movement for your legs and feet, but still check that they will be durable enough to provide adequate protection in the often potentially hazardous industrial environment.
