For general industrial protection, EN ISO 20345 is widely recognized. However, foundries and smelters often require footwear certified to **EN ISO 20349-1**, which is specifically developed for protection against molten iron or molten aluminium splashes and other thermal hazards. Depending on the market, ASTM F2413, CSA Z195 or AS 2210.3 may also be required. Always verify project specifications before purchasing.

Foundry safety boots should provide protection against extreme heat while remaining durable and comfortable. Key features include heat-resistant (HRO) outsoles, flame-resistant leather, resistance to molten metal splash, covered fastening systems, certified toe protection and puncture-resistant midsoles. Depending on the application, metatarsal protection may also help reduce injuries caused by falling castings or heavy tools.
