Microfibre

Microfiber is a synthetic material that resembles leather but has no animal origin. It's lighter than leather, absorbs little water and is easy to clean, making it suitable for the food industry and for anyone who doesn't want to wear leather.

With normal use it comes close, and microfiber has the advantage that it doesn't dry out or crack like poorly maintained leather. With heavy abrasive work, leather usually wears slightly slower. For wet and hygienic environments, microfiber is actually the better choice.

For a wet work floor, choose a model of class S2 or higher, as the upper then keeps out water penetration for a longer time. Also pay attention to the slip resistance marking of the sole, such as SR, which indicates that the sole has been tested on a tiled floor with glycerine. An SB model, such as a clog, does not have that water-repellent requirement and is less suitable for puddles or wet cleaning.

Wipe the upper with a damp cloth after use and, if necessary, a mild cleaning agent; shoe polish or leather grease is not needed. Let the shoes dry at room temperature and not on a radiator, as strong heat can damage the material and the glue. With daily use, preferably alternate between two pairs, so the inside can dry properly.

Yes, as a business customer you can order on account after registering. This is handy when you buy shoes for several employees at once, for example for a production department or kitchen team. You register your company via the page register as a business, after which you can place orders on invoice instead of paying immediately.
