Boots and shoes
Foot and hand injuries are among the most common occupational accidents. The main causes are falls, stumbles and slips. The right safety shoe can effectively prevent these accidents. They prevent slipping and ensure optimum stability. And if an accident does occur, for example due to falling heavy or sharp objects, the appropriate work safety shoe protects the foot from injury. Therefore, choosing a high-quality, reliable and perfectly fitting safety shoe is essential to prevent as many accidents and injuries as possible.
In our online shop you will find a selection of exclusively high-quality work shoes in various protection classes. From safety shoe S1 or safety boot S1 to safety shoe S3 or safety boot S3, you will find steel toe shoes in PPE category I for different tastes.
What protection classes are there for safety shoes?
Whether work shoe S1 or work shoe S3: All our work safety shoes are certified according to EN ISO 20345. This standard specifies the requirements for safety shoes in terms of material as well as type of toe cap and prescribes a subdivision into five safety classes. Our S1 safety shoes are accordingly antistatic and have a shock-absorbing sole as well as a closed heel area. Our S3 safety shoes also meet these requirements and additionally have a water-repellent upper and a puncture-resistant midsole. This means that foreign bodies such as sharp objects cannot penetrate the sole. The foot is thus protected from nails lying around, for example.

Where should safety shoes be worn?
Since the feet are exposed to various hazards in everyday work and are often involved in occupational accidents, the wearing of occupational safety footwear is not only mandatory within the framework of occupational safety, depending on the risk situation. Putting on safety shoes or safety boots should be a matter of course before starting work in critical areas.
Whether on construction sites, in industry, rescue services, fire brigades, forestry work, in kitchens or butcher shops: there is hardly a sector in which safety shoes are not worn, at least in parts. If the company's internal risk assessment has shown that there is a certain probability of foot or leg injuries, all employees in this area must wear suitable protective footwear.
