Breathable safety shoes for hot days
The days when it is extra important to have a breathable safety shoe is in the summer. On these hot days, your feet need extra ventilation and breathable work shoes are the ideal solution. By wearing a breathable work shoe, the heat that builds up in the shoe can easily dissipate. This means you will suffer less from sweaty feet and your body will be able to dissipate heat better and you will overheat less quickly.
Do you not necessarily have to wear shoes at work? Then you can also opt for loafers. You can easily take off these shoes if you get too hot.
What should you pay attention to when buying breathable work shoes?
You can recognize breathable work shoes by tiny holes in the shoe. You can compare this with sports shoes. The breathable holes can be spread over different places on your work shoe so that heat can be dissipated in different places. In addition to these small holes in the shoe itself, an outsole can also be breathable. This can also provide a lot of cooling. Especially on hot working days. In our range we have shoes with GoreTex and Sympatex. This is a special type of lining that is breathable.
Even though there are holes in the shoe, that does not mean that you cannot find a breathable and waterproof shoe. They do indeed exist. A breathable waterproof work shoe provides ventilation during hot days and keeps water out when you work in the puddles.
Maintenance of work shoes
The shoes breathe, but unfortunately this is no guarantee that you will no longer be bothered by sweat or bad odors. It is therefore advisable to always open your shoes so that they can breathe extra when you are not using the shoes. Do not place your shoes near a heater or other damp place. This will actually enhance the moisture and odors. You can also use special deodorant for work shoes to minimize odors. The last tip we can give you is to wear good work socks and change your insole. By wearing breathable work socks, the ventilation in your shoes is even better and by changing the sole occasionally, the moisture has really disappeared from your shoe.
