Buy metal-free safety shoes & work shoes

Metal-free footwear is manufactured during the production process to be either completely or almost completely metal-free. On the market, a distinction is made accordingly between metal-free and 100% metal-free work safety shoes. These shoes cannot be detected by detectors, but have a small amount of metal in the midsole. 100% metal-free models, on the other hand, are completely free of metal. Shoes of this type are often even legally required to be worn by workers in order to protect themselves from hazards in the workplace.

In order to ensure stability, safety and a high level of wearer comfort, starting with the protective toe cap and extending to the soling of the lightweight safety shoes, other lightweight materials are used as substitutes, such as, among others:

• plastic
• Kevlar
• fibreglass

In addition to safety-related reasons, work safety shoes are also manufactured metal-free, among other things, to make the wearing experience more flexible, softer and more comfortable. The metal-free penetration protection of such models then extends to the edge of the inner sole, which would not be possible with a version made of steel.

Such safety shoes are indispensable, especially in professions where one has to strictly protect oneself from electrical hazards, as the electricity cannot be transmitted in this way in case of an emergency. But also in extremely cold or warm working environments, you score with such footwear, because the metal-free type provides better insulation.
