Frequently Asked Questions
What makes LOWA safety shoes special?
LOWA safety shoes are distinguished by their high-quality fit, originating from mountain sports. They combine outdoor comfort with safety, making them light, stable and durable. The shoes are often equipped with Gore-Tex® or other breathable, waterproof membranes. In addition, they are ergonomically designed for long-lasting comfort. LOWA is known for German quality and precise workmanship.
For which sectors are LOWA safety shoes suitable?
LOWA safety shoes are ideal for sectors where a lot of walking or standing is involved, such as logistics, security, construction and outdoor work. Due to their robust outsole and breathable materials, they are also suitable for changing weather conditions. The high models are particularly appreciated in security and police forces. They also offer comfort and grip in the installation and technical sector. They are often certified according to S3 or S1P standards.
What is better, high or low safety shoes?
High safety shoes offer extra ankle support and better protection against sprains and dirt. They are especially suitable for rough terrain or physically demanding work. Low safety shoes are lighter, offer more freedom of movement and are often cooler in warm weather. The choice depends on your working conditions, preference and safety requirements. Both variants can meet the same standards.
What is the difference between S3 and S7?
S3 is the well-known safety standard with a steel or composite toe cap, penetration-resistant sole, closed heel and water-repellent upper material. S7 is an extension within the new EN ISO 20345:2022 standard and contains similar properties, but also requires waterproofness via an inner membrane (such as Gore-Tex®). S7 therefore offers longer-lasting protection against wet conditions than S3. Both meet anti-slip and shock absorption requirements.
What is an S1P safety shoe?
An S1P safety shoe has a safety toe cap, closed heel, antistatic properties, energy-absorbing heel and a penetration-resistant midsole. Unlike S3, they are not water-repellent, making them especially suitable for dry working environments such as warehouses, transport or light industry. They offer a good balance between safety and ventilation. S1P is often chosen when comfort is important and moisture does not play a major role.
