The work of a welder is classified as a dangerous profession, therefore, to carry out this type of work, it is necessary to use special footwear, as a rule, these are boots and boots of a certain type. Welding footwear has certain properties and protective elements. Its main task is to protect feet from high temperatures and splashes of hot metal, scale, general industrial pollution and mechanical stress.

Also, this safety footwear has a number of mandatory requirements:

Compliance with international quality standards.
Confirmed certificates.
Maximum effective protective properties.
Wear resistance and durability.
The presence of protective elements and properties.

Special footwear for welders in the online store "Sever-Spetsodezhda"

Special footwear is a type of special footwear that has certain protective elements and properties, based on the specificity and working conditions.

Depending on the scope of application, safety footwear is supplied with protective elements and properties:

Impact-resistant toe cap - protects against impacts up to 200 Joules and squeezing up to 15 kN.

The protective toe cap can be metallic or non-metallic. Metallic is made of steel or aluminum. It should be noted that these materials have high thermal conductivity and are capable of storing static energy. The difference is that the aluminum toe cap is corrosion resistant and lighter.

The composite toe cap is made of fiberglass, carbon fiber, plastic, and reinforced Kevlar threads can also be added. This type of toe cap does not magnetize, does not corrode, and does not conduct heat. But the composite toe cap has a large volume, so shoes with this toe will not be so comfortable.

Reinforced Kevlar threads can also be added to increase the strength of the product.

Anti-puncture insole - protects the foot from punctures and cuts. Like the impact-resistant toecap, the anti-puncture insole can be metallic or non-metallic. It is worth recalling that metal is capable of conducting heat / cold and can accumulate static electricity.

Reflective inserts - enhance visibility in poorly lit areas.

Absorption of impacts in the heel (shock absorber) - reduces the shock load on the feet.

Resistance of the sole to petroleum products, oils - work shoes do not lose their characteristics when interacting with gasoline, oil, petroleum oils, fats.

Also, footwear for a welder meets certain standards:

Top material. High-quality and breathable material, which is characterized by high strength and wear resistance.
The sole must be ergonomically shaped. Also, the sole, as a rule, is made of thermopolyurethane or nitrile rubber by injection molding. Temperature range: thermopolyurethane - up to + 195 ° С, nitrile rubber - up to + 300 ° С.

Fixation. Additional inserts and lacing with heat-resistant threads should provide a good fixation of the shoe on the foot.

Safety valve. This element prevents metal splashes on the skin.

Also, welding shoes can be divided into winter and summer.

Safety footwear from low temperatures. Safety shoes for welding are insulated with artificial or natural fur, which retains warmth throughout the working day. Often, safety footwear is insulated with a leather or fur insole.

Summer safety footwear for welders cannot be open, it is fraught with many dangerous factors. In summer, safety shoes can be lined with natural or synthetic material. Often, shoes are treated with water-repellent impregnations.
