What standards apply to foot protection?

This equipment must meet several European standards to protect toes and feet, but also to guard workers against plantar pain:

  • EN 20345: sets out the requirements for professional safety footwear. Footwear compliant with this standard is marked S1 to S5, according to its level of protection;

  • EN 20347: covers work shoes without toe protection, suited to low-risk environments;

  • EN 13287: sets out the slip-resistance criteria for foot protection;

  • EN 50321: applies to insulating footwear for electrical work.

What are the different types of foot protection?

Foot protection comes in several categories:

  • High-top and low-cut safety shoes: they protect against impact, crushing and slipping;

  • High-top and low-cut safety trainers: lightweight and modern, they offer protection against plantar pain and impact;

  • Safety boots: suited to wet environments, they provide dual protection against bad weather and impact;

  • Safety clogs: favoured in medical or food sectors, they combine comfort and hygiene;

  • Safety footwear accessories: insoles, laces, overshoes or protective covers, these add-ons extend the lifespan of equipment.

What criteria should be considered when choosing safety footwear?

To choose the right foot protection for your activity, first identify the hazards present: impact, puncture, slipping, exposure to chemical substances, blister formation, plantar pain, etc.

Then favour comfort, with ergonomic insoles, silicone gel pads or cushioning protection, and check compliance with the standards specific to your sector.

Is safety footwear suited to hot climates available?

Yes, some safety footwear, such as low-cut safety trainers, is designed to offer excellent breathability in hot conditions. These models combine lightness and comfort while maintaining optimal protection.

How should foot protection be maintained to guarantee its durability?

Regularly clean your footwear with a brush and a damp cloth to remove dirt. Treat leather with specific products and leave to dry at room temperature.
