FAQ: Metal Free Safety Footwear

Why are metal free shoes more comfortable in winter and summer?

Steel toe caps tend to transmit external cold in winter and heat in summer. Composite material, on the other hand, is a natural thermal insulator, keeping the foot temperature more stable in every season.

Is the composite toe box as safe as the steel toe box?

Absolutely. Both must pass the same 200 joule impact test as required by EN ISO 20345. The composite has the advantage of returning to its original shape after moderate impact, making it easier to pull the foot out.

Are textile laminae resistant to puncture?

Textile laminae protect 100% of the surface of the sole of the foot, unlike steel, which leaves the edges exposed. They also provide superior flexibility, improving walking in everydaywork wear.
