Want to buy work shoes?
Work boots provide comfort and protection in the workplace. Because work in the industrial sector is not without safety risks, it is even legally required for some professions to wear work shoes. Does your company work with heavy materials, liquids or tools with sharp points? Then it is important that you invest in good work shoes. That may sound like a huge expense, but it doesn't have to be. At Unishore Workwear you can buy cheap work shoes that meet all important safety requirements. You can choose from the best work shoes from major brands such as Grisport, Atlas, Redbrick, Helly Hansen and Blåkläder. This way you protect yourself or your employees against all possible risks of your working environment for an attractive price. The EN ISO 20345 standard applies to work shoes.
Protection with work boots
Because not every profession has the same safety risks, there are different work shoes for different activities. Furthermore, it's not just falling objects that are a potential problem; Perforation or penetration of liquids can also pose health risks. You can of course spend extra money on waterproof work shoes, but if the working conditions in your company are almost always dry, work shoes with a protective toe cap may be sufficient.
We therefore think it is important to offer you a product overview in which you can easily see what exactly the work shoe offers protection against. This way you can easily decide which pair of safety shoes best suits the work you perform. And of course there are also factors such as comfort involved. Naturally, the most important function of a pair of work shoes is to protect the wearer against possible hazards at work, but it certainly benefits the working atmosphere if they are also comfortable.
Fortunately, we are helped by the legal safety standards that exist in the Netherlands in clearly presenting the properties. The safety standards of the work shoes show you what you can expect. The standards indicate how much protection the shoes offer and against what exactly.
If a shoe meets certain requirements, it receives a kind of quality mark according to the EN-ISO 20345 standard that starts with an S (for “safety”). Do the work shoes you have in mind have an S standard? Then you can at least assume that the shoes have a protective toe cap. These are often work shoes with a steel toe, but a plastic toe also protects against the impact of objects that accidentally fall on the shoe. The standard indicates that they can withstand an impact of at least 200 joules. Simply put: if an object weighing 20 kilos or less falls on it, there is no problem.
If we look one safety level higher, at S1P work shoes, they also have a heel that absorbs shock. And the heel is closed. In addition, all safety shoes and safety boots with a standard of S1P or higher are antistatic.
After that, the protective properties increase; S2 work shoes have upper material that absorbs and repels water,
S3 work shoes contain all the above features in one pair of shoes. In addition, S3 work shoes are guaranteed to have a profiled outsole, which literally gives you or your employees a stronger footing. You are protected against perforation with a force of up to at least 100 N. This is also due to the anti-perforation midsole in S3 work shoes, which can only be found in S1P work shoes.
Protective work boots
Safety boots have an S3 or S5 standard. The properties of the S3 work boots correspond to the properties of the S3 work shoe. This also applies to S5 work boots, which are also completely waterproof.
Comfortable work shoe
All shoes in our range are safe. But in addition to maximum safety, do you also want the greatest possible wearing comfort? Then it is worthwhile to take a look at our range of work sneakers. This category has various models that not only look very hip, but are also comfortable to wear and still provide sufficient protection against safety risks in the workplace. Most work sneakers in our range are S3 work shoes that offer you all the necessary protection.
Another good option is the lightweight work shoe. These shoes move well and also weigh a few ounces less than regular work shoes. For maximum comfort, it is also worth looking at the material the work boots are made of. Work boots with steel toes and steel midsoles are often more compact and affordable, but plastic shoes move more easily and react less to the temperature in the environment.
Even if you are looking for the most comfortable shoes possible outside of work, you can contact Unishore Workwear. We also have a very extensive range of walking shoes from Helly Hansen and Grisport on offer. You can trust that these walking shoes are sturdy and comfortable. If you have to cover large distances on foot, you must be able to trust that your feet and your back will experience the greatest possible comfort.
Which work shoe to buy?
Do you often work with water or other liquids in the workplace? Then we recommend that you purchase work shoes with an S2 standard or higher. These work shoes have the additional advantage that no sharp objects can puncture or cut through them. A midsole can provide extra protection against this. These soles are available in steel and plastic versions.
It does not matter which material you choose for the degree of protection, because midsoles made of both materials are tested on the same criteria. They must be able to withstand a force of at least 1100 N. If you are looking for a slightly smoother moving sole than a steel one, you can purchase a plastic version with confidence.
We are regularly asked whether a plastic toe cap offers the same protection as a steel toe cap. The simple answer is “no”, but in reality it is a little more complicated. There are work shoes without steel toes that still protect the wearer very well against falling objects. These often look a bit bigger and more robust, because a plastic nose often requires a larger amount of material for the same level of protection.
If your working environment does not involve working with sharp or very heavy materials very often, such a work shoe is certainly worth considering. They are often experienced by employees as more comfortable and are less sensitive to the ambient temperature. Anyone who works in a cold room all day will be less likely to suffer from cold feet if they wear plastic work shoes.
