Safety is the top priority when it comes to finding the best shoes for factory workers. Occupational hazards inside factories may include large objects falling or rolling onto workers’ feet. Employees who operate heavy machinery require the maximum level of protection possible from threats such as sharp objects falling or trapped hands. According to the HSE, 92,000 health-related illnesses were reported in the manufacturing industry in 2022. 40% of such illnesses were musculoskeletal disorders.
Our styles offer the best fit for workers in the manufacturing and production industries. Ensuring the workforce is safe for employees in many different industries, especially manufacturing, is one of our company’s pillars.
Keep reading to discover the best shoes for factory workers and how Shoes For Crews styles can help protect your team all throughout their day, regardless of the challenges they face.
Bonnie and Clyde
We are constantly undergoing testing and product improvement to help better protect your team on the job. Our styles consistently remain compliant with the new European slip-resistant standards.
With styles available for both men and women, the Bonnie and Clyde shoes come with laces in colours such as purple and yellow. The supportive, anti-clog, slip-resistant outsoles will help reduce the risk of potential injuries that can occur from prolonged standing in fixed positions. Both styles are safety shoes with composite toe caps to protect feet from falling objects. If extra comfort is desired, your employees will benefit from the removable cushioned insole for those extra-long, tiring days on the job. These styles are also metal free, which means they will have no issues when entering and leaving the facilities.
Barra
The Barra is a unisex safety shoe with a composite toe cap for protection, and it is one of Shoes For Crews’ certified vegan styles. It has a superior slip-and-clog-resistant outsole with the TripGuard feature, which supports workers who move from one surface type to another. This feature significantly helps reduce the risk of trips and falls that may occur on the main floors of factories.
Our styles are now manufactured with recycled materials where possible to help lessen our carbon footprint in production. The Barra has both recycled polyester linings and waterproof microfibre uppers. It is also puncture resistant, which offers great protection should your employees interact with any sharp objects during their shifts.
Engineer IV CT
A supportive and easy-to-clean work boot, the Engineer IV CT is the best shoe for factory workers who require ultimate comfort and flexibility during the day. These safety boots will support the ankles and joints to ensure your feet remain well-protected and comfortable for hours. They feature waterproof coated leather uppers and a composite toe cap of only 200 joules. The clog-resistant outsoles offer excellent support when walking on various types of surfaces and interacting with a range of different cleaning materials.
Brandon
Durable and hardworking and comfortable to carry your workers from start to finish. The Brandon safety shoe is unisex and comes in either black or white, depending upon what complements your employees’ uniforms best. Metal free and lightweight, this style weighs in at only 585g when looking at a size 44 and has a composite toe cap of 200 joules.
