Safety shoes are special shoes designed to protect feet from injury in the workplace. They are divided into different safety classes, each offering different protective features. Here are some important features and classes of safety footwear:
Protective toe cap: all safety shoes are equipped with a protective toe cap that protects the toes from falling objects and crushing. These caps can be made of metal, plastic or aluminum and must be able to withstand an impact of up to 200 joules.
Safety classes:
S1: Basic protection with antistatic properties and closed heel.
S2: Like S1, but also water-repellent.
S3: Like S2, but with puncture-resistant sole and profiled outsole.
S4: Waterproof boots with the properties of S1.
