Understanding safety footwear certifications helps you choose the right protection for your working environment. Whether you work in logistics, construction, industry or technical environments, knowing the key safety codes makes it easier to compare certified work shoes.
SRC slip resistance means the outsole provides high grip on both ceramic and steel test surfaces. Essential for logistics and industrial workplaces.
HRO indicates an outsole resistant to heat contact up to 300°C, suitable for industrial environments and high temperature surfaces.
WRU materials reduce water penetration in the upper part of the shoe, improving comfort in wet environments.
Non‑metallic footwear uses composite components instead of steel, reducing weight and improving flexibility.
FO outsoles resist oils and fuels, making them suitable for workshops, maintenance and industrial environments.
ESD footwear safely dissipates static electricity and is used in electronics manufacturing and technical workplaces.
P means the footwear includes a protective midsole designed to prevent nails or sharp debris penetrating the sole.
CI certified footwear protects against cold environments and insulated floors.
Choosing the correct safety footwear depends on the environment you work in. The most important decision is the safety level combined with the right protection features.
S3 safety footwear includes toe protection, water resistance and a puncture resistant midsole.
