Most professionals in private companies and public services are allowed to choose simple and casual clothes and shoes for their work. But what about the professionals who need greater protection and ease of movement to do their job properly?
Engineers, workers in factories and construction sites, electricians, builders, farmers and other professions that are called to work under more difficult conditions, need protection, proper support and safety during their work.
What Types of Work Shoes Are There?
Today they are on the market especially work shoes, with or without protection, so that all professionals can do their work comfortably and safely. The most popular categories of work shoes in the Cyprus market are the following:
Let's see together the specifications that work shoes must have.
Durability
Quality and durability is the primary feature that a professional looks for before buying work shoes. Inner lining, steel puncture protection, durable outsole, and materials such as overshoe rubber make work shoes stand up to time and wear. Therefore, shoes that do not tear and puncture easily, while they can withstand contact with water, gasoline, oil and other chemical derivatives, are ideal for the workshop, the field, the factory and the construction site!
Comfort
All workers who work in conditions of standing for long hours or are constantly on the move are looking for light and comfortable work shoes. Anatomical shoes support the body and absorb shocks, offering incredible comfort to the wearer. With the proper support of the joints and the spine, the neck and back pain that one feels when standing for long hours is reduced. The more comfortable the shoe, the less likely you are to develop orthopedic problems in the future.
Safety
Did you know that 30% of workplace accidents are due to the use of inappropriate work shoes? A work shoe must definitely have a non-slip sole to protect the worker from injuries and falls. Many professionals prefer work boots with non-slip outer soles and steel protective toe caps for guaranteed maximum safety. Other shoes may have protective fiberglass or steel toe caps, such as work boots. Important for the safety of the shoe is also its construction from insulating materials that protect against heat and cold.
Flexibility
Tasks related to constant movement are facilitated by shoes that are light, soft, flexible and breathable. The PU soles are extremely light and flexible, giving the shoes maximum comfort for everyday use.
Breathability (Breathable Shoes)
One of the advantages of business shoes is that they allow sweat to evaporate, preventing swelling of the feet after standing for long hours. With proper foot ventilation, unpleasant odors are reduced, while comfort is increased. In addition, when the foot sweats and swells, skin rashes can develop. To prevent hygiene issues, breathable work shoes are made of hypoallergenic materials that protect the skin from irritation.
Innovative Materials
Shoes intended for demanding professions are made from innovative materials, which are not found in everyday footwear. For example, the Flexitec Techno work boots include the popular Boa quick-release patent, but also FLEXITEC® Vibram technology for high temperature protection with ESD protection certification. Other work boots feature breathable 3D Mesh inner lining technology for faster and more efficient moisture evaporation.
Easy Cleaning
The environment in which many professionals work makes shoes easy to get dirty and difficult to clean. Many work shoes combine the above features with fabrics and materials that absorb stains faster, without looking dirty from day one. Before you start washing any work shoe, make sure you read their cleaning instructions.
