Casual/Work

Not always. This category also includes shoes without a protective toe cap, intended for work where no safety requirement applies, for example for managers, drivers or office staff on a site. Check the label to see if a safety class is listed.

Only if the shoe carries a safety class that matches that location's requirements, usually S3. Shoes without a class are not personal protective equipment and will be refused at the gate, however sturdy they look.

EN ISO 20345 is the standard for safety shoes with a toe cap that withstands 200 joules; these shoes receive an S class. EN ISO 20347 applies to occupational footwear without a protective toe cap and uses O codes. Both standards test properties such as slip resistance and antistatic behaviour, but only an S shoe protects your toes against falling objects.

For light work without a risk of falling objects, they are often suitable. An O4 boot is fully waterproof and easy to hose clean. If you work with livestock, heavy loads or machinery, we recommend a boot with a safety toe cap. Also look at additional codes such as CI for cold insulation if you spend a lot of time outdoors in winter.
