FAQ About Women's Safety Footwear
Are women’s safety shoes different from men’s safety shoes?
● Yes. Women's safety footwear can be designed around women-specific foot proportions rather than simply using smaller men's lasts.
● A dedicated women’s last can provide a more secure heel fit, better overall foot stability and a more appropriate fit through the midfoot and forefoot.
