Safety Classes

Safety classes for safety shoes and occupational shoes.

Safety standards EN ISO 20345:2022 — Safety Footwear

Our safety shoes are certified according to the European standard EN ISO 20345:2011 or EN ISO 20345:2022. The products are marked with CE.

Protective toecap (200J/15000N)
Fully enclosed heel
AAntistatic properties
EEnergy absorption in the heel area (tested at 20 Joules)
WPAWater penetration and absorption

Shoes marked S have protective toecaps which will withstand 200 J of impact energy and 15 kN of pressure.

Scuff cap resistant to abrasion

Class I

Footwear made from leather and other materials, excluding all-rubber or all-polymeric footwear.

Slip resistant on ceramic tiles with glycerine

Class II

All-rubber (i.e. entirely vulcanised) or all-polymeric (i.e. entirely mouled) footwear.

Ladder Grip

Water-resistant footwear.

Fuel and Oil resistant outsole and midsole

Cold insulation.

Metatarsal resistance

Heat insulation.

Ankle protection

ESD

ESD protection ensures that static electricity is discharged. The shoes have a resistance ranging between 0,1 MOhm and 100 MOhm according to ISO IEC 61340.

Cut resistance

Safety standards EN ISO 20345:2011 — Safety Footwear
