Safety toe work boots are designed to protect against a variety of hazards and injuries. The footwear and its protective grade is best chosen after evaluation (risk assessment) of the potential dangers in the work environment.  Safety toe work boots should always be used as a last resort, it is the final line of defense against hazards, after all other reasonable or practical measures have been taken to manage the risks of the workplace. Impact, compression and puncture are the most common types of foot injury.   Common dangers are related to the kind of materials that are handled by the worker, risks of objects falling on or rolling over the feet, blades that might cut the top of the feet. Here is a simple overview of the pros & cons between steel or composite toe work boots.   STEEL TOE and COMPOSITE TOE WORK BOOTS THE DIFFERENCE IN STEEL AND COMPOSITE TOE CAPS   If you’re involved in the purchase of safety toe work boots, it is important not just to know about safety footwear codes and standards, but also to have an understanding of the materials they are made from. You will see safety toe work boots that have steel toe caps in their specifications while others have composite toe caps. Strange, because both materials have the same purpose. A protective toe cap made according to European or ASTM standard will protect the feet from impact, regardless the material. But than what exactly is the difference between steel toe and composite toe work boots and what could be your best choice? An understanding of the differences between steel toe work boots and composite toe work boots means that you can make a confident and correct purchase for your work activities. That being said, this list with all the differences you should know about steel toe and composite toe work boots will help you cut the knot!   STEEL TOE CAP COMPOSITE TOE CAP Made from steel only Made from non-metal materials such asfiberglass, carbon fiber or plastics Used since 1930's and steel toecaps are still very popular Gaining popularity due to several benefitsin comfort Naturally stronger thancomposite toe caps, a thinnerlayer is used in the work bootsto reach the same strength as acomposite toe Lighter compared to a steel toe, reducingstress and fatigue on the legs and jointsthroughout long workdays Cheaper compared to compositetoe work boots Mostly used in a higher quality and pricerange of safety toe work boots Conducting cold, heat andelectricity Not conducting heat or cold in extremetemperatures, for extra comfort   More thick and bulky compared to steeltoe work boots.

Slip resistant soles are one of the most vital elements in safety footwear, also according to the EN ISO 20345 standard every safety footwear must have at least one type of slip resistant sole. Slipping, tripping and falling are the main causes of accidents on the work floor. They often cause serious injuries to installers, construction workers, plumbers, oil workers and ambulance personnel. This leads often more than three days of absence at work. According to statistics from HSE and RIDDOR (Reporting of Injuries, Diseases and Dangerous Occurrences Regulations 2013), "slips, trips or falls on same level" account for 33% of non-fatal injuries reported under RIDDOR 2020/21 within the workplace. While there is some variation in employer-reported accident kinds to employees by industry sector, slips, trips, or falls on the same level is the most common reported non-fatal accident kind across all broad industry sectors in 2020/21.   SRA, SRB & SRC WHAT’S THE DIFFERENCE?   SRC certified slip resistant sole, meaning the slip resistance of the sole was tested on a ceramic tile wetted with a dilute soap solution and on a smooth steel plate with glycerol.   Make sure you’re aware of the degree of slip resistance below your feet, accidents are expensive! All products at Workway are tested in laboratory conditions to be granted with a slip resistant rating.   SRA SRA slip resistant soles are tested on a ceramic tile wetted with dilute soap solution. SRB SRB slip resistant soles are tested on smooth steel with glycerol. SRC SRC slip resistant soles pass both SRA and SRB slip resistance tests.   SRA + SRB   =  SRC     Marking Code Test Surface Coefficient of Friction (EN 13287) Forward Heel Slip Forward Flat Slip SRA Ceramic tile with SLS* ≥ 0.28 ≥ 0.32 SRB Steel floor with Glycerol ≥ 0.28  ≥ 0.18 SRC Ceramic tile with SLS* & Steel floor with Glycerol ≥ 0.28  ≥ 0.13 ≥ 0.32 ≥ 0.18 Water with 5% Sodium Lauryl Sulphate (SLS) solution   Workway is the market leader in providing high-level  slip resistant work shoes / non slip work boots/ non slip steel toe shoes to businesses around the world. Through significant commitment and investment in developing our products, Workway offers slip-resistant outsoles that greatly exceed official SRC requirements.

Introduction: Safety shoes play a vital role in protecting our feet from potential hazards in various work environments. These sturdy and reliable footwear options safeguard us from injuries caused by sharp objects, heavy materials, or slips and falls. However, to ensure that safety shoes continue to provide optimal protection and comfort, proper maintenance is crucial. In this article, we will discuss essential maintenance tips to extend the lifespan of your safety shoes, allowing you to make the most out of your investment.   Cleaning and Inspection: Regular cleaning is an integral part of safety shoe maintenance. Follow these steps to keep your shoes clean and free from debris: Begin by removing any loose dirt or dust particles from the surface of the shoes using a soft brush or cloth. Next, dampen a clean cloth with mild soap or a shoe-specific cleaner and gently wipe the exterior of the shoes. Pay close attention to seams, crevices, and hard-to-reach areas to ensure thorough cleaning. Rinse the cloth and wipe away any remaining soap residue from the shoes. Allow the shoes to air dry naturally before storing or wearing them. After cleaning, perform a detailed inspection to identify any signs of wear or damage. Look for the following issues:   Cracked or deteriorated outsoles Loose stitching or seams Worn-down tread patterns Damaged laces or fasteners Degraded cushioning or insoles   Proper Storage: Storing your safety shoes correctly is essential for maintaining their integrity and extending their lifespan. Here are some storage tips to keep in mind: Store your shoes in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. Use a shoe tree or stuff the toe area with newspaper to help retain the shoe's shape and prevent creasing. Keep your safety shoes in a dedicated shoe rack or on a shelf to prevent unnecessary crushing or deformation. Avoid piling heavy objects on top of your shoes, as this can cause structural damage.   Replace Insoles and Inserts: The insoles and inserts of safety shoes provide crucial support, cushioning, and moisture-wicking properties. Over time, they can become worn out and lose their effectiveness. To maintain optimal comfort and performance, consider the following: Regularly inspect the condition of your insoles and inserts. If they show signs of wear, such as flattened cushioning or decreased support, it's time to replace them. Replace insoles with high-quality options that provide adequate arch support and shock absorption. Consider using moisture-wicking or odor-controlling inserts to maintain a fresh and comfortable environment inside your safety shoes.   Address Repairs Promptly: If you notice any signs of damage or wear, it's crucial to address them promptly. Ignoring minor issues can lead to more significant problems and reduce the overall lifespan of your safety shoes. Follow these steps when dealing with repairs: For minor damages, such as loose stitching or frayed laces, use a sturdy thread and needle to mend them promptly. If the outsoles are worn down or damaged, consider taking your shoes to a professional cobbler for proper resoling. Avoid using adhesive or glue to fix significant structural issues, as they may compromise the shoe's overall integrity. Seek professional repair services instead.   Conclusion: By following these essential maintenance tips, you can significantly extend the lifespan of your safety shoes. Regular cleaning, thorough inspections, proper storage, timely replacements, and prompt repairs are all key factors in ensuring that your footwear remains durable, comfortable, and protective. Remember, well-maintained safety shoes not only provide the necessary protection but also save you money in the long run.

  Introduction:   Safety shoes are a crucial investment for individuals working in various industries where foot protection is paramount. Whether you're in construction, manufacturing, or any other occupation that involves potential hazards, finding the right pair of safety shoes is essential. With numerous options available in the market, it can be overwhelming to make the best choice. In this comprehensive buying guide for safety shoes, we will walk you through the key factors to consider, ensuring you select the perfect pair that prioritizes both safety and comfort.   Assess Your Workplace Hazards: Before purchasing safety shoes, it's crucial to understand the specific hazards present in your work environment. Identify the potential risks such as falling objects, sharp materials, electrical hazards, or slippery surfaces. Different safety shoes are designed to provide protection against specific hazards. By assessing your workplace hazards, you can narrow down the features and safety standards your shoes need to meet.   Compliance with Safety Standards: Safety shoes must comply with industry-specific safety standards to ensure they offer adequate protection. Some common safety standards include: ASTM F2413: This standard covers various aspects, including toe protection (impact and compression), electric hazard resistance, and puncture resistance. EN ISO 20345: Widely recognized in Europe, this standard specifies the requirements for safety shoes, including toe protection, slip resistance, and more. CSA Z195: Applicable in Canada, this standard addresses toe protection, puncture resistance, and other safety features. Ensure that the safety shoes you choose meet the relevant safety standards required for your work environment.   Toe Protection: One of the critical features of safety shoes is toe protection. There are different types of toe protection available, including: Steel Toe: Traditional steel toe caps provide excellent protection against impact and compression hazards but may add weight to the shoe. Composite Toe: Made from non-metallic materials such as carbon fiber or Kevlar, composite toe caps offer similar protection to steel toes but are lighter. Aluminum Toe: These toe caps are lightweight and offer adequate protection against impact and compression. Consider the level of protection required and choose the appropriate toe cap material.   Slip Resistance: Workplaces with slippery surfaces necessitate safety shoes with excellent slip resistance. Look for shoes with outsoles designed to provide traction on various surfaces. Features like deep treads, specialized rubber compounds, or slip-resistant patterns can significantly enhance the shoe's grip and reduce the risk of slips and falls.   Comfort and Fit: Comfort is crucial for individuals who spend long hours on their feet. Consider the following factors for optimal comfort: Proper Fit: Safety shoes should fit well without being too tight or too loose. Ensure the shoes provide ample room for toe movement while offering support and stability. Cushioning and Arch Support: Look for shoes with adequate cushioning and arch support to minimize fatigue and provide long-lasting comfort. Breathability: Choose safety shoes with breathable materials to enhance airflow and prevent excessive sweating and discomfort.   Durability and Construction: Durability is essential for safety shoes, considering the demanding work environments they are subjected to. Key considerations include: Materials: Opt for shoes made from high-quality materials such as leather or synthetic fabrics known for their durability and resistance to wear and tear. Reinforcements: Look for reinforced features like double stitching or overlays for added durability. Sole Construction: Shoes with direct injection-molded soles or Goodyear welt construction tend to be more durable and offer better resistance against abrasion and impact.   Additional Features: Depending on your specific needs, consider additional features that can enhance the functionality of your safety shoes, such as: Electrical Hazard Protection: If you work in environments with electrical hazards, choose safety shoes with electrical hazard resistance to minimize the risk of electric shock. Puncture Resistance: If you work in areas where sharp objects or nails are present, consider safety shoes with puncture-resistant soles. Metatarsal Guards: For added protection to the metatarsal area, look for safety shoes that feature metatarsal guards. Chemical Resistance: If you work with chemicals or in environments where chemical spills are a concern, select safety shoes that offer chemical resistance.   Brand Reputation and Reviews: Research the reputation of the brand and read customer reviews before making a purchase. Look for brands known for their quality, durability, and commitment to safety standards. Customer reviews can provide valuable insights into the performance and comfort of the shoes, helping you make an informed decision.   Try Before You Buy: Whenever possible, try on safety shoes before purchasing them. This allows you to assess the fit, comfort, and overall feel of the shoes. Remember to try them on with the socks you typically wear at work to ensure an accurate fit.   Regular Maintenance and Replacement: To ensure the longevity and effectiveness of your safety shoes, proper maintenance is essential. Clean your shoes regularly, inspect them for any signs of wear or damage, and address repairs promptly. Replace your safety shoes when they no longer provide adequate protection or have reached the end of their lifespan. Conclusion: Choosing the right safety shoes is a critical decision that directly impacts your safety and comfort at work. By considering workplace hazards, safety standards, toe protection, slip resistance, comfort, durability, and additional features, you can make an informed purchase that meets your specific needs. Remember, safety should always be a priority, and investing in high-quality safety shoes is an investment in your well-being and peace of mind.
