Why special safety shoes for women?
A woman's foot is usually narrower at the heel and wider at the forefoot. Women's safety shoes take this into account with a slimmer last, light materials and a lower instep closure. You will immediately feel this in comfort: especially during long shifts as a self-employed person or employee. If there is a chance of slipping, there are various anti-slip shoes for women and in case of falling or running over: all our women's safety shoes are equipped with a steel toe or other protective toe.
Which safety category suits your work?
The EN ISO 20345 standard divides safety shoes into various classes. Below you can see at a glance what the most common classes and requirements mean, so that you can more easily choose between, for example, women's safety shoes S3 and S1P safety shoes and know whether you need an ESD model. The difference between S2 and S3 is also immediately clear.
- S1P safety shoes : protective toe cap + anti-perforation sole, ideal for dry indoor areas.
- S2 safety shoes : all S1 properties + water-repellent upper, suitable for slightly wet conditions. But not equipped with an anti-perforation sole.
- S3 safety shoes : S2 features + anti-slip profile and penetration-resistant midsole; the most popular all-round safety category.
- S7 safety shoes : extra waterproof lining for extreme weather conditions, waterproof for up to 80 minutes.
- ESD safety shoes : discharges static electricity; essential in electronics environments such as data centers.
Ladies S3 safety shoes
Do you work outdoors, in construction or logistics? Then S3 safety shoes offer the best balance between water repellency, abrasion resistance and penetration protection. Thanks to the special women's last, S3 women's safety shoes remain light and flexible.
High or low safety shoes for women?
Choose a high model if you need ankle support or if you squat a lot in landscaping. Low safety shoes for women with steel toe caps are lighter and are a favorite in warehouses and hospitality where speed counts. Both versions are available with BOA closures for extra convenience.
Best safety shoes for sensitive or painful feet
Do you suffer from heel spurs, sagging feet or do you work standing for long periods of time? Then look for models with extra cushioning, removable insoles and memory foam. In the case of heel spurs and sagging feet, wearing a special insole is highly recommended. We recommend their own insoles for most brands, but if they are not available, take a look at Neskrid , which offers insoles that are certified for almost every brand. This way you can keep your good women's safety shoes suitable for longer and your body free from complaints of painful feet.
When should you replace your safety shoes?
- How long do safety shoes last? The lifespan of safety shoes is between six months and two years, depending on use and maintenance.
- How often should you replace safety shoes? A practical guideline is to evaluate every 3 months after 6 months: are the cushioning, profile, outer material and protective toe cap still intact? If not, it is time for a new pair.
Ask your employer how often you are entitled to new safety shoes; as long as these are mandatory in the workplace, your employer must also make arrangements for this.
