Wat zijn Redbrick werkschoenen?

The modern workplace demands a combination of optimal protection and a contemporary appearance. Traditional safety shoes are often known for their heavy, bulky, and somewhat dull design, but this innovative brand has definitively changed that.

At Unishore Workwear, we understand that you want to work comfortably and fashionably. That's why our extensive range includes a wide selection of Redbrick safety shoes that meet the strictest European safety standards. These unique shoes are equipped with advanced protective elements such as strong safety toe caps made of carbon, composite, or aluminum, and impenetrable midsoles.

Whether you work in logistics, construction, engineering, or hospitality, these safety sneakers guarantee high wearing comfort all day long and significantly reduce fatigue in your feet.

How did Redbrick start with safety shoes?

The history of this brand began with a clear and bold mission: to revolutionize the conservative market for personal protective equipment. At the beginning of this century, there was a growing demand among young professionals and skilled workers for safety shoes that better matched their personal style and the dynamics of their daily work.

With the introduction of the very first true safety sneaker, the brand sent a shockwave through the industry. They showed that safety absolutely does not have to come at the expense of a sporty and trendy look. By using lightweight materials, innovative soles, and fashionable colors, a whole new standard was set.

Over the years, the brand has continued to innovate and has launched iconic models that have become indispensable. These include the robust Redbrick S3 models, such as the very popular and tough Redbrick Onyx, the ultra-strong Granite, the stylish Gold, and the striking Ruby and Sunstone versions that are loved by many professionals.

How does Redbrick fit?

One of the most frequently asked questions by our customers concerns the fit and sizing of these sporty safety shoes. Since a shoe with a hard protective toe cap made of carbon or aluminum does not give way or stretch at the toes, selecting the correct size is essential to prevent blisters and pinched feet.

In general, most models have a very comfortable and natural fit that corresponds to your normal sneaker size. If you are in doubt between two sizes, or if you often wear a half size, we always advise you to choose the larger size, so that your toes have enough room to move.

To help you make the right choice, you can use the handy Redbrick size chart on our website. It is extremely important to note that this size chart is merely an indication; the exact fit can vary slightly depending on the specific model and foot type.

Redbrick Work Sneakers

The concept of the safety sneaker has been perfected by this brand. The extensive line of Redbrick work sneakers proves that you no longer have to choose between a professional appearance and the necessary protection your specific profession requires.

These shoes are equipped with flexible midsoles made of high-tech materials such as Kevlar, which prevent sharp objects such as nails or glass from penetrating the sole. At the same time, the shock-absorbing outsoles ensure that your joints are minimally stressed during long working days where you have to walk or stand a lot.

The sneakers are available in various safety classes, ranging from breathable S1P models for dry indoor environments to heavier S3 variants for demanding conditions. Thanks to the use of high-quality nubuck leather, suede, and breathable textile materials, you can enjoy an optimal and healthy climate in your shoes under all circumstances.

Are there Redbrick women's models too?

Workplace safety is certainly not exclusive to men, and therefore the brand has developed a special and very successful product line specifically tailored to the anatomy of the female foot. Women generally have a narrower heel and a different instep circumference than men.

In the collection of Redbrick women's safety shoes, this has been perfectly taken into account by using a narrower, specially developed women's last. This prevents the foot from sliding inside the shoe, which increases stability and minimizes the chance of painful rubbing or blisters during work.

Of course, in addition to this specific women's line, there is also a gigantic range of Redbrick safety shoes for men available in our webshop. Both men's and women's models are available in fashionable color combinations and designs, so that every professional can find a shoe that perfectly matches the rest of their workwear.

Frequently Asked Questions about Redbrick

To provide you with all the necessary information, we have compiled and answered the most frequently asked questions from professionals about these popular safety sneakers below.

Does Redbrick also have wide sizes?

No, the brand currently does not produce specific extra wide sizes (such as width XD or wide lasts). The shoes have a standard, average medium fit. People with very wide feet sometimes find some of the tighter sneaker models a bit too narrow at the toe.

What is the difference between Redbrick S1P and S3 shoes?

The main difference lies in the degree of moisture protection. Both classes offer exactly the same hard protection against falling objects and sharp materials on the ground. However, an S1P shoe is made of breathable fabrics for dry areas, while an S3 shoe is water-repellent for at least 60 minutes and has a coarser sole profile for outdoor work.

Are Redbrick safety shoes waterproof?

The standard S3 certified models are water-repellent, which means they can handle heavy rain or incidental moisture well. However, they are not fully waterproof when standing in deep puddles for extended periods. For truly waterproof performance, you should specifically choose models equipped with a special Hydratec membrane.

Can Redbrick safety sneakers be machine washed?

No, it is strongly advised not to clean your safety sneakers in the washing machine. High temperatures, prolonged contact with water, and detergents can irreparably damage the internal adhesive bonds of the safety sole and toe cap. For safe cleaning, Unishore Workwear refers you to our special page for quality shoe maintenance.
