Choosing the right safety shoes for you
Generally speaking, safety shoes are available in five different sole materials, including PU, TPU, Rubber, EVA, etc. According to our sales records, 80% of safety shoes are made of the above five materials. Whether you are a manufacturer, a seller, or an end user, you need to choose the right safety shoes and the most suitable soles. This depends largely on your budget and workplace. If you are a construction worker, we recommend PU-soled safety shoes. The price is not very high and the quality is very good. In addition, it is lighter than rubber-soled safety shoes. If you are a logistics worker, we also recommend PU-soled safety shoes. As you know, logistics workers need to stand and walk for long hours, so lightweight shoes are vital for your knees and toe. Economic price is also an important factor. If you work in the food industry, we recommend rubber-soled or PU/rubber-soled safety shoes. The main reason is that there is a lot of oil and water on the job site. The rubber material is the best solution to avoid slip hazards. If you are a garden or landscape worker, we recommend PU/PU soles and PU/rubber-soled safety shoes. Both soles are suitable for you. Also, you need to consider water or rain, so choosing waterproof leather for the upper is a better choice. If you work in the chemical industry, we recommend that you use rubber soles or PU/rubber-soled safety shoes. From the perspective of acid and alkali resistance, PU material is not strong enough and rubber is the best choice.
You may be troubled about how to choose the size
Regarding the sizing of safety shoes, many people struggle with the fit issue. There are two main reasons for this. One is because different countries have different size measurements. The other is because these protective steel or composite toe wraps result in less space inside the front of the safety shoe. Today, let's discuss the issue of sizing for safety shoes or work boots. Regarding sizing measurement differences, we are here to compare European sizing and British sizing.
1. European sizes, also known as French sizes, are mainly used in Europe, Africa, the Middle East, South America, etc. The size difference is 6.67 cm. For example, a size 42 is 6.67 cm larger than a size 41. Please note that the difference is the inner last, not the outer mold.
2. UK sizing is used in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa, etc. As you know, the UK is measured in inches, not centimeters (cm), so the UK size difference is approximately 6.66 cm, not 6.67 cm. Generally speaking, a UK size 8 is equivalent to a European size 42. Another difference is that UK sizes have half sizes, while European sizes do not have half sizes. For example, a size 8.5 is 3.33 cm larger than a size 8. 3.
