Supported by various safety certifications, these shoes are available in different types to meet the needs of employees across multiple industries.

Types of Work Shoes
Steel Toe Work Shoes
Steel toe work shoes provide maximum protection against impacts. With resistance up to 200 joules, they are commonly preferred in construction, industrial, and logistics sectors.
Composite Toe Work Shoes
Composite toe work shoes stand out with their lightweight, metal-free structure. Thanks to their non-conductive properties, they are especially preferred in electrical and electronics industries.
Aluminum Toe Work Shoes
Aluminum toe work shoes are as durable as steel toe models while being approximately 30% lighter, offering extra comfort for employees who work long hours on their feet.
Summer Work Shoes
Designed with breathable mesh materials, summer work shoes prevent excessive sweating and are suitable for indoor environments such as warehouses and logistics facilities.
Winter Work Shoes
With waterproof and thermal insulation features, winter work shoes ensure safety in cold conditions. Their insulated linings make them ideal for outdoor workers.
Sport-Style Work Shoes
Sport-style work shoes combine occupational safety features with the aesthetics of everyday sneakers. Their modern design makes them popular among younger employees.
Waterproof Work Shoes
Preferred in environments with frequent liquid exposure, these shoes are resistant to oil, water, and chemical liquids, making them suitable for food production and cleaning services.
Work Shoe Standards
The most well-known standard for work shoes is EN ISO 20345. This standard includes:
- 200-joule impact resistance
- Slip-resistant soles
- Antistatic properties
- Water resistance and puncture protection
Depending on sector requirements, different safety classes such as S1, S2, and S3 are available.
