A small size isn't a women's model

A men's shoe in size 37 or 38 is only scaled down, while a woman's foot has different proportions: narrower at the heel, lower at the instep and with a different ball width. The result of the wrong model is a heel that slides up and down, and that means blisters, pressure points and less grip on a ladder.

Same protection, different fit

The safety class determines the protection and it's identical to the men's model: the same 200-joule toe cap and the same penetration-resistant sole. For matching clothing, check out women's workwear.

Frequently asked questions

Why a women's model and not just a small men's size?

A woman's foot is generally narrower at the heel, has a lower instep and a different ratio between length and width. A men's shoe in size 38 is therefore often too roomy around the heel, causing the foot to slide and leading to blisters and pressure points.

Do women's models offer the same protection?

Yes. The safety class on the label determines the protection, and that's identical. An S3 women's shoe has the same 200-joule toe cap, the same penetration-resistant sole and the same water-repellent upper as the men's model.

Is an S1P women's shoe suitable for outdoor work?

For outdoor work in dry weather, S1P is fine, but the upper has not been tested for water penetration. If you regularly work in the rain, on wet ground or in puddles, you will get wet feet and the shoe wears out faster. Then choose a class S3 or higher, which besides penetration resistance also has a water-repellent upper and a profiled sole.

What does HRO mean on a work shoe?

HRO stands for heat resistant outsole: the sole has been tested for brief contact with a hot surface of 300 degrees without melting or cracking. This is handy for work on hot asphalt, near ovens or for light welding work. HRO is not insulation against heat for longer periods; other codes such as HI apply for that.

Can I order work shoes for female employees on account as a business?

Yes, after registering as a business customer you can order on account, even if you combine different models and sizes for your team. This way you arrange women's and men's shoes in one order. You can register via register as a business. If you are unsure about the fit, first order one pair to check the size before placing a larger order.
